The Buzz on Creating the Ultimate Bee-Day Party
We fell in love with this idea the minute we noticed the punnery! Brit + Co. reader Meryl sent us a few photos of her son’s 1st Bee-Day party and we couldn’t help but giggle.
We love the idea of throwing a Bumble Bee-themed party for any age. Children of the ’90s can reminisce over Blind Melon’s No Rain video. Baby boomers can tell us about the time they had to wear beekeeper outfits to get their own honey. And just about anyone can related to being a busy busy bee! :)

First, props to Meryl. She threw a bumble bee themed pool party complete with bee patterned towels, all sorts of black and white balloons, bee-shaped treat bags, and we even spot some DIY honeycomb accessories on the table and by the towels. Very cool.
Cupcakes topped with ever-so-slightly burnt meringue? Sign us up. (via Street Style
This sartorial shot is a cool way to rock the bumble bee look without losing any street cred. We love the studded jacket and bag, and are swooning over those wedge pumps. Definitely channeling a little Dick Tracy in this one. (via Teen Vogue)Bumble Bee Macarons

The Sheepish Poodle: Just because your dog thinks bees are insanely annoying doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to dress up as one. Right? Wait, what? Add this to our list of awesome pet costumes for Halloween.
Bumble Bee Cake Pops
Naturally, our friends over at Hostess with the Mostess also love a themed bee-day party. We’re loving the vibe of this party, complete with Bumble Bee Cake Pops. (via HWTM)
