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 Farmer's 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.
GAME MODE
There are two modes -- Challenge Mode and Practise Mode. Challenge Mode limit the game to 11 game weeks and the score will be updated to Game Center (i.e. the Top Farmers Board). Practise Mode let you play with unlimited weeks.
Bee Farming is a very addictive game. Once you understood the game and started playing a few times, you will learn to think strategically, such as "Should I buy a bigger honey jar first or should I spend the money for a more risky forest first?"
That's why many people, from students to adults, play this game and compete on the Top Farmers Board. We know a school purchased this game probably for educational purposes.
Get started and happy Bee Farming today!

Found this randomly and gave it a whirl. It seems like it's a bit easy (or maybe i'm just THAT good) but altogether it's well made and polished for 99 cents.
Money well spent

i loved this game. i had the free version and 3 weeks are just not enough. i had to get the full version. in the full version you get 9 weeks which gives you enough time to get money for dark forest. if you like the free version then get the full version. it is one of the best games i have gotten for 99 cents! one of the times i had played i got to week 9 and i am still playing. i am on week 16 now. i dont know why though.
Crash

The game will not play past two or three levels before it crashes making you start over. It's too bad because it could be a great game but no fun due to all the crashing.
