Bee Keeper
Guide a honeybee colony through five years of seasons: plant flowers, harvest and sell honey, swat raiding wasps, clean out mites and save enough stores to survive every winter.
Bee Keeper is a cozy colony management simulation about a busy honeybee hive. On one side a meadow of flower plots, on the other a cutaway honeycomb where you can watch eggs turn into curled larvae, capped brood and new bees, while foragers fill the outer cells with golden honey. Tap a capped honey cell to harvest a jar, then sell jars for coins at a price that shifts with the season and the market.
The catch is winter. When the flowers rest the colony lives only on stored honey, so every jar you sell is honey the bees cannot eat. A meter at the top of the hive shows your stores against the estimated winter need. Spend coins on new flower plots with different bloom seasons, extra comb frames, a faster-laying queen, forager training, winter wraps and guard bees. Each year gets tougher: winters eat more honey, wasp raids grow bigger and must be tapped away, and from year two mites infest the brood and spread unless you clean the cells in time. Survive all five years to win and earn a bonus for your bees and leftover honey.
It suits players who enjoy idle-style management with real decisions. Lifetime earnings raise your beekeeper rank and unlock starting perks. Tip: plant heather early, because it is the only flower that blooms in winter.
How to play
Bees forage blooming flowers and fill the comb with honey. Tap capped golden cells to harvest jars and press Sell to turn them into coins (your score). Tap empty plots to plant flowers and use the Shop for upgrades. Keep the honey meter above the winter need line, swat raiding wasps and tap mite-infested brood cells to clean them. If the bees run out, the colony collapses. Survive five years to win.
