Real Life Large Bees - Set of 8

Our Real Life Large Bees set is proof that not all classroom visitors need a net and jar. These eight bee figures are bold, bright and, thankfully, sting-free. Each piece features a high quality photographic image of a different bee species, mounted onto sturdy, free-standing blocks.

From honeybees to bumblebees (and even the occasional wasp imposter), these realistic resources help children look closely, compare differences and talk about the vital role these insects play in our world.

Perfect for EYFS, the bees can star in small world play, tray play or outdoor investigations. In Primary, they make a brilliant starting point for science work on pollination, food chains or habitats.

Their chunky size makes them easy for children to handle, and their lifelike detail sparks natural curiosity. Whether buzzing through storytelling, landing in role play, or inspiring writing, these bees are guaranteed to keep learning sweet.
