Blue Banded Bees
Native from Australia, this solitary bee is capable of a special type of pollination called “buzz pollination”, that can get pollen from flowers other bees cannot. They are important pollinators for the wildflowers and native plants, and also have a significant value for agriculture (specially tomatoes!). Learn more about Australian bees

I like the level art :)
Thank you! :D
Couldn't move past the hive and movement is a bit sticky but got some points and music and game looks good :)
Thank you for playing and sharing your opinion! :D The hive is the end of the level/game (for now), we will take a look at movement for the final release ;)
