Theme
Collectible Minifigures (CMF)
Year Released
2013 (Released as part of the 10th anniversary wave of the CMF line)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not a 'chase' figure like Mr. Gold, she was one of the highly desired 'costumed' figures of her series, leading to high secondary market demand.
Head
Yellow skin tone with a cheerful smile, pink blush on cheeks, and eyelashes. It features a unique bumblebee hood/hat with black antennae attached.
Torso
Yellow torso with thick horizontal black stripes printed front and back. Features yellow arms and black hands. Neck bracket attachment for wings.
Legs
Standard yellow legs with black stripe printing on the front upper thigh area to continue the bee costume pattern. Hips are yellow.
Accessories
Includes a set of trans-clear plastic wings that fit around the neck post, and a brown 'honey pot' piece decorated with a small printed bee and dripping honey.
Color Scheme
Primary Bright Yellow and Black (bumblebee aesthetic) with Reddish Brown for the honey pot and Trans-Clear for the wings.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The stripes wrap cleanly on the torso and legs. The honey pot features a specific bee graphic that is unique to this accessory.
Variants
There are no official variants of this specific Series 10 figure, though the 'Bumblebee Girl' character received a redesign in Series 21 (Bumblebee Centurion) and inspired the LEGO Batman Movie 'Bumblebee' figure.
Condition Notes
The antennae on the hood are made of a slightly softer plastic and can be prone to bite marks or tearing. The trans-clear wings can develop fine scratches or 'fogging' over time if not stored carefully.

Character Background
Part of the long-running 'Costume People' sub-set of CMFs. These characters represent ordinary LEGO citizens dressed in mascot or party costumes.
Design Notes
The hood piece was a new mold at the time of release. The honey pot printing was a significant step up from the plain accessories of earlier series.

Collectibility
High. Costumed minifigures are among the most collected niches within the LEGO community, often keeping their value better than standard figures.
History
Released during the peak of the CMF craze in 2013, she shared the series with the legendary ultra-rare 'Mr. Gold' figure.
Interesting Facts
Despite her name, her honey pot accessory is technically inaccurate—it depicts a honeybee's product, while the suit is modeled after a bumblebee, which does not produce honey in pots.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a CMF frameset or a garden-themed vignette. Looks excellent alongside other insect-themed costumed figures like the Ladybug Girl or Butterfly Girl.
Modification Potential
The striped torso is frequently used by MOC builders for creating custom updated versions of the DC Comics character 'Bumblebee'.
Overall Assessment
A classic 'must-have' for CMF completionists. Its simple yet effective design and iconic accessories make it a standout of the 2013 era.
