Round and hairy, the bumblebee is one of the most familiar insects in gardens and flower meadows. It is recognizable by its buzzing flight and its stocky body covered in hairs, which protects it from the cold and allows it to forage early in spring.
Surprisingly, unlike honeybees, bumblebees can fly even in cool or cloudy weather, making them valuable pollinators. Their heavy but powerful flight allows them to reach deep-seated flowers that other insects overlook. By vibrating strongly, they even practice what is called "vibration pollination," essential for certain plants such as tomatoes.
This Papo figurine realistically recreates the bumblebee: hairy abdomen, delicate wings, and precise details. An ideal model to complete a collection of insects or garden animals, invent stories about nature, or educate children about the essential role these pollinators play in biodiversity.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo

Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years.
