THE GAME
You start up a bee farming business with a swarm of bees and $100 cash. Every week, you bring the bees to a forest and show them where the flowers are. The bees will bring nectar back to the beehive and produce honey. Sell honey in BEEDEX market will earn you money to go shopping at Farmers Co-op for more bees, a bigger honey jar, or a larger beehive.
THE BEES AND THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES
There are 7 types of working bees and 3 types of guardian bees. Working bees with larger appetite will collect nectar faster. Guardians do not collect nectar. Their job is to protect the working bees from Hornets! There are enemies hiding in some forests, such as hornets, black hornets, wax moth and giant hornets. Before you venture into a forest, ensure you have the right size of guardian team or your whole bee troop will be gone!
FORESTS AND SPECIAL PLACES
There are 11 different forests. Forests with higher entry fee are more dangerous but also give you more opportunities. Explore it to find out more.
The Guardian School is the only place to upgrade your Super Guardians to Royal Guardians. You need a lot of patience to training up these hard-to-get Royal Guardians. They are your valuable assets.
Jumbees are the bees with biggest appetite but they are not for sale in COOP. They hide in Jumbee Valley and so do Giant Hornets. A very dangerous place.
