Bee & Flower

Bee & Flower is a single-screen action game in which you play as a honeybee gathering nectar from flowers at the bottom of the screen and carrying it back to the hive at the top.

Dragonflies, butterflies, ladybirds, and wasps patrol the area, each with distinct movement patterns. You can disperse insects with an unlimited supply of stings launched in a parabolic arc, or distract butterflies by dropping sugar cubes. A human bug collector appears later in the day and cannot be harmed by your sting.

Each level lasts for a day and ends after you collect the required amount of nectar, represented by grubs on the ground. Returning nectar to the hive and defeating insects awards points, while remaining time provides a completion bonus. Later levels introduce more enemies and require additional trips.
