I taught a class to my 5 summer artists and we all loved the delicate wings and petals in this scene. Our goal was to use iridescent watercolors successfully. The backgrounds could be solid or variegated with one color or more using aa drip method to lift the transparent blue...just for fun.
Bee with pearl highlights
Variegated background using blue and violet
We dripped clear water to make the shapes in the blue background, then let it dry
Our reference came from a Facebook artist whose bees were magical.
