Spike the Bee

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week we’re going to talk all about Spike the Bee but first, let’s talk about a little Disney News. Marvel’s back in the theaters and with quite an impressive showing. Black Widow had smashing numbers for its first weekend both in theaters and on Disney+. Disneyland announced they’ll be having their Oogie Boogie Bash for this Halloween. And we’ll even get...a PARADE! If you’ve ever been to Flower and Garden, you’ve surely seen a precocious little bee poking his head up among the beautiful flowers. Spike the Bee, the other non-avian mascot, for Flower and Garden has quite the interesting history. This week we talk origins (and it goes back QUITE a ways), character designs, and probably the best part, exactly when Spike first appeared. (The answer isn’t cut and dry, and there’s a bit of a debate.) Thank you as always for taking us with you wherever you are. Have a magical week!
