Where To Find ‘Spike the Bee’: Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration During Flower & Garden 2025. Spike the Bee has become a beloved fixture of EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival. With his distinctive striped appearance and industrious nature, this character plays a central role in “Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration,” a popular scavenger hunt that engages guests of all ages. He is back for 2025.
Spike the Bee is busy pollinating the gardens around the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. As you explore the Festival, look for Spike as he pollinates plants while gathering pollen and nectar. Once you find him in each garden on your map, add the corresponding sticker of the plant he is visiting to your map. Whether you choose to search for Spike or not, redeem your map by June 2, 2025, for a special surprise, while supplies last.
We will be Spoiling Spike’s Flowers and Locations, giving fair warning before we do. As we did for Figment’s Paintings and Olaf’s Holiday Tradition, we will share the information before giving away Spike the Bee’s locations.
Epcot’s 2025 Flower & Garden festival started this morning, and we got a chance to spot Spike the Bee around World Discovery, World Celebration, World Nature, and, of course, around World Showcase. Below you can see this year’s map that is for sale at shops around Epcot.
The Map costs $9.99, and if you have a discount, it brings the price down to $7.99. After tax, we paid $8.51. This year’s reward is one of four versions of a Garden Watering Can. Pick from The Catipillar from Alice in Wonderland, Mickey Mouse, Spike the Bee, or Ornage Bird.
Fair Warning: We will be spoiling Spike the Bee’s location after the next image. We do not mind if you stop reading here. For those that continue, we will be starting our 2025 Scavenger Hunt in World Discovery. We bought our Map at Creation Shop.

Spike the Bee has appeared alongside Mickey Mouse in different animated shows, most recently in the 2017 show Mickey Mouse, which can be seen on Disney+. Spike also starred with Goofy and other Disney Characters. However, Spike’s most known role is at Epcot, where he has appeared on various merchandise over the years, including sipper forms and snacks. Even though Donald Duck would disagree and say Spike is most famous for starring opposite of himself in many cartoons in the 1950s!
