International Playthings Game Zone - Honey Bee Tree - Don't Wake the Bees Please! Classic Family Fun for Ages 3 and Up

My son LOVES this game. Great way to teach them to take turns. Takes forever to set up but it’s a lot of fun for the whole family.

This is so fun. Whole family loved it. Kids (4, 7) so cute, and durable.

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.

Its fun but the branches are hard to get in it.

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.
