We did the musical To Bee Or Not To Bee with fourth grade last spring. We made 100 bee costumes in one afternoon by taking yellow T-shirts and dry-rolling black stripes across them. (We used 3" paint rollers and craft paint with sizing in it so they don't wash out.) They wore dark pants with them and the head boppers, and it worked fine. If you want to be more accurate, add a set of "angel wings."
