Bees have long been lauded as essential workers in keeping our flora flourishing, but remember that whilst they buzz around, they are taking in the beauty of the world around them.
Create your own origami bee friend to remind you to stop and smell the roses. Cut out your favourite supplied sheet of patterned craft paper in each issue of Mindful Puzzles, or use your own square piece of origami paper, and follow the instructions below.
1 Begin with your desired pattern face down. Valley fold the paper in half, both ways, and unfold.
2 Fold the top corner downward over the centre line.
3 Fold the left and right side backward along the dotted line.
4 Fold both left and right side to the centre along the dotted line, then unfold.
