THE GAME
You start up a bee farming business with only a small 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 10 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.
GAME MODE
There are two modes -- Play or Practise. 'Play' limits the game to 11 game weeks and the score will be updated to the Top Farmers Board in Game Center. 'Practise' lets you play with unlimited weeks.
Bee Farming is an 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 use the money to venture into a more risky forest first?"
That's why many people, from kids to adults, play this game and show up on the Top Farmers Board.

Fun fun

fun fun fun, but has a crash issue. occasionally crashes on the buy screen Once mastered, still fun but dramatically reduced replay value (guess that's kind of logical) Able to compete world wide is a plus :)
Still crass

So I bought this after my wife got it for hers and told me the crash problem was fixed from when you go into coop and it crashes. Well...it still crashes! To top it off, she can play for longer than 10 weeks and mine stops at 10 weeks. 10 weeks just isn't long enough to really have any fun considering how expensive the different things are. The game needs to have a free play selection so you can continue to play after 10 weeks. If it went by days instead of weeks it would be better but one session is a week. Okay game just not designed too well for it to be a lot of fun. Worth the money? If the crash problem actually gets fixed yes. If there were to be a free play selection then definitely yes. It's extremely annoying though to have it crash every time you go into coop to buy something new.
Still crashes

The bug is not fixed. Game crashes after you tap coop. Very frustrating. Get the free apps. This was a waste of $$$$.
Good game. Needs survival mode.
The Original PDaddy
I bought this game for my 6 year old to teach him about money and business. He likes playing it. I like how he is learning. I would like to see a survival mode where you have to meet a certain quota of honey or money to continue to the next week. At least you could keep going based on skill, not the 10 week time limit. The crashing is annoying, but I would assume that will get fixed. The game is fun and addicting. I recommend this game.
Love it

I got this yesterday so my brother and I could tinker wi it, and I love it. We challenged each other to see who could get a higher score. It has provided 2 days of straight gameplay and has not lost it's appeal. There are a couple small things I would Ike to see added or changed, but nothing to the point I would not stop playing. Endless gameplay is one thing, challenge stages is another, and I would also like to see "smarter" guardian bees. Too often they do not seem to head to where you directed them. But again, nothing major. Thanks for the hours of fun at a much cheaper price than an arcade.
Pretty good

The one thing it needs is a never ending free play mode. And to be able to upgrade more things like the guardian school.
Must have for apiculture enthusiasts

Still some colony collapse disorder after the reboot fix suggested by the developers, but charming enough to engross a few hours' attention. Looking forward to updates.
Good game with a giant problem
Touch God
Why do we have to retort after ten weeks fix this I want my progress to stay forever why I've lost my progress. until this is fixed I won't be asking anyone to buy or be changing my review Fix now. If anyone is wondering about what I'm talking about it deletes your progress after every ten weeks(after each forest visit) please don't buy till it's fixed.
