Overall a cute way to incorporate some visuals into education. The puppet portion (the bee's legs) is a bit weird given it has 6 legs and a hand has 5. One leg is always oddly sticking out or uncontrolled as a result.

Didn't realize that this bee is much smaller than the other one we had. Wings are also more fragile. Will not be letting this one circulate like other hand puppets.

Some of the negative reviews made me a little nervous, but this puppet was too cute to resist & the price was reasonable. (And I’ve never had trouble with an Amazon return.)I do not regret the purchase! The puppet wasn’t crumpled or defective in any way - it’s so cute! Yes, the glove is small, but I don’t think they intend the full adult hand to fit in it. Four of my fingers fit easily into the four front “legs”. (I didn’t try to stuff in my whole hand, palm, thumb and all.) That enabled me to make the bee look like he was moving. Roll up some fabric scraps to stuff the other two legs so they don’t dangle limply and it should be perfect. And the small size of the glove should work well for my granddaughter, probably using all five fingers and more, if not all, of her hand. I ordered the Kirsten Hall storybook, “The Honeybee” to go with it. Now I can’t wait for Christmas to give them both!

The one year olds in our family, all 4 of them, think this bee is hilarious and one of them thinks it is the funniest thing she has ever seen and chuckles uncontrollably every time we play with it. This was a wonderful purchase!!

First impressions: This is another adorable Folkmanis puppet. This honey bee is the smallest Folkmanis puppet I have purchased. He is light weight and well made. His fur is nice but not super soft.Packaging: He came well packaged, but his wings did get a bit smooshed and crinkled. I have had him out for several days and they have not gone back into place. I am hoping to use a flat iron and reset them.Glove: The glove that comes with this bee allows you to move not his mouth, but his legs. It is child size. I have a small adult size hand and the bottom half of my palm hung out of it. I simply purchased a formal set of black gloves for about $5 and had my local seamstress replace the glove. We took one finger off of the second glove and put it on the first one with a little cotton stuffed inside so the bee could still have all six legs. the gloves are a little shiny and I think I like it even better. It is really adorable.

So eine niedliche Biene. Sieht absolut echt aus. Alle fünf Finger haben Platz und können sich als Beine bewegen. Sehr schön.

parfait pour notre usage qui est professionnel, elle est très bien représentée et très maniable pour montrer a des enfants le fonctionnement d'une abeille.
