Where to Find Spike the Bee: Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration 2026. 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,” the popular scavenger hunt that engages guests of all ages. Running from March 4 through June 1, 2026, this beloved scavenger hunt invites guests of all ages to follow Disney’s favorite honeybee, Spike, as he buzzes around the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival collecting nectar and pollinating the festival’s gardens.
We’ll reveal Spike the Bee’s flower locations, providing a clear spoiler alert beforehand, similar to our coverage of Eggstravaganza 2026
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 1, 2026, for a special surprise, while supplies last.
Epcot’s 2026 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 $11.99, and if you have a discount, it brings the price down to $9.51. After tax, we paid $10.21. This year’s reward is a cute dancing flower that moves when it gets sunlight. The characters this year are Mickey Mouse Flower, Spike the Bee Flower, Figment Flower, and Orange Bird Flower.
Fair Warning: We will be spoiling Spike the Bee’s Pollen Nation 2026 location after the next image. We do not mind if you stop reading here. For those who continue, we will be starting our 2026 Scavenger Hunt in World Discovery. We bought our Map at the Creation Shop.
Last Warning: After this image, we will spoil the flowers, map, and locations of Spike the Bee during Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration During Flower & Garden as we did for 2025.

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 well-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 himself in many cartoons in the 1950s!
