What players say

I've been having an amazing time playing this bee simulator game! It's not only fun and relaxing, but it's also educational. I learned so much about bees, their importance to our environment, and why we should care about protecting them. I also enjoyed learning about how to care for bees and the challenges they face in the real world. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys learning something new while...

Exactly what it says on the tin. Such a cute and fun game to pop into every once in a while. Especially during the Spring and Summer months. The tasks and objectives seem to be about all their is in place of a "story", which is probably plenty and helps me feel like I can hop in for a bit and leave without feeling like I have left anything unfinished, but the consequence of that is that I do get bored after an hour...

Cozy bee game with simple repetitive tasks. Story is very short and achievements are a bit buggy but doable. I enjoyed the silly dialogue with characters, definitely recommend to get when on sale.
