I bought the Plush Bee for my boys on a trip to my favorite store. At first I didn't want to buy a stuffed animal... however, it is not just a Bee it is a way to get my kids to understand Bee's, including the life cycle of the bee, the honey, and the effect they have on nature and humans. The Bee is very well made as my boys have carried it with them everywhere and sleep with it every night. No stitching or stuffing concerns at all. Deep review for a Plush toy but to me it was worth it!
