Game Zone Honey Bee Tree Game – Award-Winning Fun and Exciting Tabletop Game for Kids and Families

Overall great game. Kids love it. Two reasons it's not perfect. One: The numbers in the tray are hard to see during play. But, problem solved: I colored them with black sharpie. Two: The trays are a little small for play with only two players. The amount of bees might spill over a little. BUT, if you're careful, you can solve that problem. I will say it's a little time consuming to set up. But, to all the people complaining: You have to put the sticks in like a grid. I never have a problem with bees falling out when not intended. I do a bottom layer of sticks. Then go across that with the next layer and so on. And, I've never once had the tree dislodge while turning it. Overall a great game. Just use common sense, smarts and ingenuity and you'll be fine. I would recommend.

This game has been a hit with our 3 year old granddaughter. Besides being cute, it is of good quality unlike other board games where things fall apart if you look at them sideways. I disagree that it has to be set up solely by an adult. Our granddaughter helps right along most of the time. Amazingly so, the set up does not seem to get boring for her. Normally her attention span is pretty short and moves on to other things rather quickly. The one thing we do have a problem with is that you WIN if you get the least amount of bees. She likes to think of it as the more you get the better. Therefore wo has the MOST bees wins around here until she is ready to understand the intended concept. Maybe we could have spent more time explaining it to her, but she’s having fun and that is all I care about. Insisting that she understands would mean every time some bees fall on her turn it is a negative thing. And for our granddaughter that would not be a pleasant experience at her age. She’s been told over and over that losing is normal/OK and she sees us lose at times. Losing is part of life is a lesson that needs to be learned, I agree. But maybe better left till next year rather than her abandoning what she considers a fun game. Any comments regarding clean up taking long I don’t understand at all. Takes us no more than 1 min – that’s long? Very happy with the purchase.

Such a fun game for my 3 year old and 5 year old

Many students love this game in therapy. Only challenging part is the number of leaves/sticks can be challenging to place, and if put at an upward angle, they will easily fall out.

My daughter LOVES this game. Fun and easy to understand for a preschooler. More durable than the new versions of classic board games. A bit of a pain to insert all of the leaves, but not enough to stop us from playing several times in a row

Haven’t opened yet since it’s for Christmas, but looks super cute

Very cute idea but the sticks are difficult to position. They bend too easily and become a bit warped. Too frustrating to try to set up the game

This adorable Honey bee Tree game is nearly identical to Kerplunk, which we played as kids and our kids played as kids, with the added twist of the honey bee theme. The bees are adorable. Granted, it takes time to put the leaf sticks into place, just like it did for the Kerplunk game... and it's not a game to be played for hours on end unless you have great amounts of patience... but for a few rounds, it's great fun! I bought this game when my young 2 year old grandson showed an interest in other preschool games, like Mr. Mouth Tomy Mr. Mouth Game . and just like Mr. Mouth, it's not a game for him to do by himself. Educational? Let's see...counting... sorting... picking up... fine motor skills...sharing... taking turns. Yes. It's educational and lots of laughs. My grandson hasn't figure out that you're NOT supposed to get bees, and he squeals with excitement every time a bee falls into the tray. The hardest part is convincing him that the bees need to go back into the box and not into his pocket. :)
