Knee socks yellow black Honeybee

The yellow and black Honeybee knee-high socks are striped legwear that turn your legs into the colours of a honeybee, from the yellow top band to the yellow toe. They are designed for women dressing up as honeybees for Carnival who want a recognisable look from top to toe. The stripes run around the entire leg like rings, so the bee look is also perfect from the side and from behind.

The facts about the honeybee socks

• Narrow horizontal stripes in yellow and black run along the entire leg, each the same width.
• The top band and the toe are solid yellow.
• The socks are made of 50% nylon and 50% polyester.
• The washing instructions are hand wash.
• They are made for women and are from the brand Boland.

Why do the yellow edges make these bee socks recognisable?

The yellow top band and yellow toe ensure that the sock starts and ends in yellow, so the yellow stands out next to a dark skirt or dark shoes. Yellow and black is known in nature as a warning colour, and the honeybee is the animal everyone imagines when they see that striped pattern. Striped socks in other colours belong to completely different characters, such as the witch, who is often dressed in purple or green stripes. If you mainly wear dark clothes, choose these bee socks, as the yellow edges keep the honeybee colours visible.

A honeybee from antennae to toe

You only truly recognise a honeybee when the striped pattern also appears above the legs, so combine the striped socks with a yellow and black dress, top or tutu. A headband with antennae and small wings on the back completes the silhouette. A short dark skirt or shorts shows off the stripes of the socks the best. With some yellow and black face paint around the eyes, your face will match the rest of the outfit.

Order the yellow and black Honeybee knee-high socks and you will be covered in bee stripes from top to toe during Carnival.
