## What is Idle Apiary?

Your first hive sits alone in an empty meadow. Twenty hives later, the whole valley hums.

Idle Apiary is a cosy beekeeping idle game about turning one wooden box into a honey empire. Your bees keep working while the app is closed, so there is always a harvest waiting when you come back.

TEND THE MEADOW
Buy hives, harvest honeycomb, press it into honey and export it at market price for gold. Twenty hive tiers, from the humble Wildflower Hive to the Genesis Apiary, and every one you stack pushes production higher.

FORAGE FOR NECTAR
When the Forage timer fills, Nectar Rush begins. Tap blooming flowers before they wilt, chain combos for bigger payouts and hunt golden blooms worth five times as much. Just do not tap the wasps, or you will lose nectar and break your streak.

RESEARCH IN REAL TIME
Start a project in the Research Lab and it keeps running whether the app is open or not. Every completed project is a permanent bonus that carries through everything after it.

ASCEND FOR ROYAL JELLY
Found a new apiary and trade your progress for Royal Jelly, a permanent multiplier that makes the next run faster than the last. Push far enough and the Grand Harvest opens up, a second prestige layer for players who want to go deeper.

COLLECT RARE BEES
Twelve species to unlock, from the everyday Honeybee to the Crystal, Obsidian, Nebula and Chrono Bee. Each one lifts your output and flies around your meadow while you play.

MAKE IT YOURS
Spend Stars on sceneries that reskin the entire valley, including Moonlit Meadow, Autumn Orchard, Cherry Blossom, Volcanic Glow, Winter Frost and Candy Fields, plus limited-edition bees and tab styles.

COME BACK DAILY
Daily Tasks, a Daily Challenge, a seven-day reward streak, achievements to chase and a Codex that fills in as you discover things.

PLAYS ANYWHERE
Fully playable offline with no account and no sign-in. Your save lives on your device and nothing is sent anywhere.

Put the kettle on. The bees have been busy.
