Heat oven to 350º. Shape dough into 1-inch balls (dough will be slightly sticky).
For each cookie, place 2 pretzel twists side by side with the bottoms (the bottom

cookie sheet. Place 1 ball of dough on center, and flatten slightly. Break 2 pretzel
sticks in half. Gently press 3 pretzel stick halves into dough for stripes on bee.
Break fourth pretzel piece in half. Poke pieces into 1 end of dough for antennae.
