2 tbsp. sesame seed
2 tbsp. toasted wheat germ
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Sliced almonds

1. With adult help, first measure all the food. For the dough, using the wooden spoon, stir together the peanut butter and honey. Stir in non-fat dry milk, sesame seed and wheat germ until well mixed.

2. Lay a piece of waxed paper on a tray. For the bee body, shape 1 teaspoonful of dough into an oval. Place it on the tray.

3. Dip a toothpick into the cocoa powder and press it gently across the top of the bee body. This makes the stripes.

4. Stick sliced almonds in the sides for the wings. Chill bees in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Makes about 28 bees.
