Her collectible job card shares insights into her leadership role in the hive, teaching children about responsibility. The Queen's design encourages kids to embrace leadership qualities, inspiring them in group settings.
The Guard
Next, we meet the Guard—the diligent protector of the hive. His strong and vigilant attire ensures that the hive remains safe from intruders. The accompanying job card highlights his vital duties, showcasing the importance of teamwork. Studies show that kids who engage in role-playing games are more likely to develop strong collaborative skills.

The Worker symbolizes hard work and determination. Dressed in functional attire, this character encourages children to appreciate effort in their daily tasks. Her detailed job card explains her role in collecting nectar and maintaining the hive, bringing to life the value of perseverance. In a survey, 74% of parents reported that their children who played with imaginative figures developed a greater appreciation for hard work.
The Nurse
No hive would be complete without the Nurse! This character represents health and care, bringing warmth to the group. Her calming outfit and job card stress the importance of nurturing one another, instilling empathy and compassion in young minds. Research indicates that children who engage in nurturing play are often better at understanding the emotions of others.

Finally, we have the Baby Bee, a cute and playful character that ignites joy and curiosity. This little one embodies discovery, encouraging kids to explore and learn. The Baby Bee's job card introduces children to the beauty of growth and learning, making her a cherished addition to the set.

Create a Buzzzzzz!
Building a community around the Honeycomb Hive boosts engagement and excitement. Here are some ideas to strengthen these connections:
Hosting Craft Events
Consider organizing bee-themed craft events where children can design their own characters and maybe take a home baby bee of their own. Such activities can spark creativity while deepening their connection to the beloved characters.
Educational Collaborations
Have a bee themed classroom and allow your class to hold their favorite bee as reward or part of a learning game. You can also list "Be Attitudes" and discuss appropriate and kind behavior in the classroom.
Specialized Gifts
Children and adults alike are fond of these hardworking little creatures. Consider giving a unique gift to beekeepers or bee enthusiasts. Organize a bee-themed event such as a baby shower, birthday party, or special occasion, where you can feature a "Queen Bee."
Adding to Your Collection
The Honeycomb collection isn't limited to just these five adorable characters. Over the next several years, I plan to add at least four more villagers, each with a variety of wardrobe changes and accessories for the new and existing characters.
And all good bees need a place of there own and there's no place like home especially for the
Honeycomb Hive villagers. They love their plush hive done in a soft yellow and adorned with their favorite color of flowers. The crown is secured with an antique gold magnetic snap that makes getting in and out easy and is also fastened in the back to the hive with three brass rings. The whole hive including the base is stuffed with premium polyester fill to make it soft yet durable and strong during play. The hive can hold up to 9 bees.
Measurements: 12 ½” H x 9 ¼” W, 29” circumference at the widest part.
The buzz around the bee villagers is just beginning. So gather your hive and let the adventures unfold! Dive into this delightful world where play meets purpose and encourage your little ones and adults alike to discover the wonders of nature through imaginative play. Happy collecting!
