The 25 cm bee is part of Diabolo's line of zany, expressive and colorful hand puppets that "squeak, squeak." The bee has blue fleece wings sewn onto its back and has small black eyes as well as a cute, happy expression. To make her fly, just rotate your wrist and forearm back and forth quickly to make her wings lift out a bit and her arms and antennae flip-flop about. Other puppets in this line include the doe-doe bird, the fly and the ladybug.
— "If I had to say, our best sellers in plush would [include] anything from the Diabolo line," said Tom England, owner of Dancing Bear Toys and Gifts in Frederick, Md.
