Make the bee: Roll out the remaining black fondant and cut a 7cm circle. Cut into 1cm-wide stripes, with one strip having a curved edge for the face. Use water to adhere to the yellow push pop. Take 2g of white fondant, roll into balls for eyes, attach with water, and draw pupils with a food coloring pen. Insert almond slices into the middle of the body for wings.
