Melody Bees

Inground / A Bell

$1,751.84

The Melody Bees from Freenotes Harmony Park are commercial outdoor musical instruments that combine bright, clear musical tones with a playful nature-inspired design. Created to encourage exploration, creativity, and interaction, these charming bee-shaped instruments provide children and adults with an approachable way to discover music through hands-on outdoor play. Freenotes specifically designed the Melody Bees for settings ranging from classrooms to public parks, making them a versatile addition to educational and recreational environments.

Melody Bees are available in three musical versions: A, C, and D. Each Bee features two anodized aluminum crotale notes that create a bright, clear sound in the alto range. The A Bee produces an A Power Chord with A and E notes, the C Bee provides a C Power Chord with C and G notes, and the D Bee produces a D Power Chord with D and A notes.

Each Melody Bee includes its own mallet, allowing children to strike the two musical notes and immediately experience the relationship between movement and sound. When multiple Bees are installed together, several children can participate at once, creating opportunities for collaborative music-making, listening, turn-taking, and social interaction.

The whimsical bee design adds another dimension to the experience. Instead of looking like a traditional musical instrument, Melody Bees become colorful interactive elements within the landscape. Their nature-inspired appearance makes them especially appealing for early childhood playgrounds, sensory gardens, pollinator-themed play areas, nature-based learning environments, and outdoor classrooms.

Off-loading is the customer’s responsibility. These items are heavy and may require equipment such as a skid-steer loader or forklift, which must be provided by the customer.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

FAQs

What are the payment requirements for an order?

Full payment is typically required upfront due to the custom nature of many products. Exceptions can be made for governmental entities through approved purchase orders. All payments must be received prior to the start of installation.

Are installation services available?

Installation services are available for commercial playground projects. A qualified and insured professional can be arranged to handle the setup, and quotes are provided upon request. The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient installation process from start to finish.

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

Expedited shipping is not currently available. Due to the size and nature of playground LTL shipments, most freight carriers are unable to guarantee faster delivery. Unless otherwise noted, all products ship according to the estimated lead times listed on each product page.

How is the estimated lead time calculated?

Estimated lead time refers to the amount of time it typically takes for a product to be prepared and shipped after an order is placed. For many commercial playground items, manufacturing begins only once the order is received. For example, if the lead time is listed as 8 to 10 weeks, that means it will take approximately8 to 10 weeks for the product to be manufactured, packaged, and shipped from the warehouse.
