    Wonderful for STEM lovers!

    This is my favourite set that I have built. I loved all the different details, I especially appreciated the hidden ones. The bee was a little fiddly and the app was more helpful to complete bee compared to the book. Once built, it is colourful and lovely to look at, as well as a great talking piece for visitors.

    Very good set for 18+

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a very interesting set of Lego. I was expected to complete this in a night. Yet have not done it. My fault! It has many parts that packed together which make it easier to assemble. It is for 18+ though. Definitely good for brain logic practiing and skill and pay attention to details. I would love to have to time complete this set soon.
