Description

Bees are among the world's most important pollinators. They enable plants to reproduce, help crop production, and make delicious honey. However, bees face threats and must compete with other bees to survive. In Apis Mellifera: the Bee Game, you play as a beehive. Your goal is to become the strongest hive and survive the year. To do so, you will face numerous challenges, including pests, animal attacks, harsh weather conditions, and other beehives vying for your resources. You have three rounds to grow your hive, gather nectar and pollen, make honey, fend off the threats to your hive, and see if you can become the strongest hive at the end of the year. The hive with the most victory points wins. This bee-themed worker placement introduces actual bee facts and science into its gameplay. Do you have what it takes to ‘bee’-come the strongest hive? —description from the designer
