Meadow Hive: Cozy Bee Game

Name your colony and keep a little hive of honey bees alive, from a tiny starter frame to a thriving hive in a blooming meadow. Meadow Hive is a cozy pixel bee game that runs in real time. Your bees forage, make honey and ferment bee bread even while you're away, and they count on you to check in: feed the colony, feed the babies and keep the comb from getting crowded. Look after them and they grow. Neglect them and they may swarm off to the big tree, or be lost for good. LOOK AFTER YOUR HIVE • Pop ripe bee bread in the Nursery and gather pollen from the meadow's flowers • Harvest golden honey: scrape off the wax caps and spin the extractor • Turn honey into wax and build more comb, a honey shelf, a bigger nursery and a landing board • Grow from a starter frame to a nuc to a full brood box, then plant flower beds and hang a firefly lamp BEE JOBS • Nectar Rush: fly through the meadow, chain flowers and dodge wasps, then bank your nectar or push your luck • Lunch Rush: flick food to hungry baby bees before the belt backs up • Bee Pile: drop and merge silly bees in a honey jar, all the way up to the Mega Queen • Swarm Catch: net a runaway swarm and its queen and bring them home • Wasp Watch: when robbers come, send your guards after robber bees and wasps before they reach the honey REAL BEES, REAL FACTS Hazel and the Queen share real bee biology as you play: how bees carry nectar home in a honey stomach, why they pack pollen into bee bread, how guards gang up on a wasp in a heat ball, and more. A LIVING MEADOW Morning, afternoon, sunset and starry night follow your phone's clock. At night the flowers close and your bees doze. Gentle hive alerts tell you when the bees need you, with quiet hours overnight. • No account needed, and it plays offline • Chapter 1 is free.
