OIC Tips & Tricks

You don't have to search too high for Spike. He tends to stay low amongst the bright flowers.

OIC Take

Spike the Bee is an adorable little bee that we love searching for in this scavenger hunt. Every year, he is in different locations, so we can do this one each year and not get bored! Spike isn't as big as some of the other characters you go on a scavenger hunt for, but he is a little more contained to gardens, making this a good combination of slightly challenging but not overly frustrating. We also love picking out our little prize at the end!
