Golda, I found a great template. The crafter noted that the easiest way to replicate it is to clip it to cardstock and mark all the fold lines with a pin prick to make scoring easier. Worked like a breeze!
Actually, I wanted to make a 5 inch base because I have a die for that size circle. Here is the card that I made using the template. Worked perfectly on the first try!
The bees (cut from scrapbook paper) are attached to strip of acetate. It will be buzzing its way to my MIL later this month.
And, here is the site with the template-

I'd be happy to email the template that I pasted to Word so that you can adjust the size if desired, too!
Here's another template that I want to try. It is a simpler, one-step, type. And had a photo tutorial.
