Our latest, exciting product... the ‘Bee Box’ is for primary school-aged children, enabling them to learn, create and grow for bees*.
Bee Box aims to encourage children to step outside and look at bees, learn about their differences and to engage with their conservation by making things outside or growing plants.
This set has also been shortlisted in the prestigious Gift of the year awards 2025, in their ethical & sustainable category.
The box is endorsed by Buglife and contains:
- Bee ID cards - for 8 common bumblebees and 8 solitary bee species.
- Information cards to help children learn about the different types of bees.
- Activity cards with ‘Bee tasks’ so they can make things or grow seeds/plants
- Seedballs® - with native wildflowers that bees love
- Bee sketch book to draw and illustrate their findings.
- Colour-in bookmark.
- Set of colouring pencils.
- Fun activity sheet to test all their buzzy knowledge.
- *Free A5 sheet of bee stickers with every order.
Our children have created their own ‘top tips’ to help others gain success in the tasks, which can be found throughout the activity cards. All information given has been family tried and tested.
"The Bee Box is a delightful gift to share with the children in your life as it is full of engaging information, puzzles and more to engage them with our precious pollinators. We need to save our bees but to do this we must first love them. The bee box is an ideal way to grow that love in future generations."
Paul Hetherington, Buglife the Invertebrate Conservation Trust.
We regret we cannot post outside the UK due to the inclusion of wildflower seeds.

Reviews
My son absolutely loved his bee box! It is packed with fun activities and information to help children learn about the amazing world of bees, and why we need to look after them. We loved that it came in completely sustainable packaging, and is all made in the UK. Proud to support this amazing small business, making a real difference to insect welfare in our community and beyond.
I am thoroughly impressed with the Bee Box! The quality is outstanding, and it’s incredibly engaging for children. The pencils are brilliant, highly pigmented, perfect for creating. Packed with educational content, that is presented clearly for children, while also engaging them with activities and real-world learning. The eco-friendly packaging is beautifully designed and thoughtfully put together. A perfect blend of fun, learning, and sustainability!
My kids absolutely love these Bee Boxes - such a beautifully packaged product that's educational and fun. They have learnt so much about bees and now make a conscious effort to engage in the topic. Well done to the Urbee team on a fantastic little kit!
These boxes are packed full of colourful activities, which my children have loved.
My youngest really enjoyed scattering the seed balls. Hopefully we will lots of bees in our garden next summer.
