The Beekeeper

The Beekeeper is a fast systemic strategy puzzle about ecological scarcity and timing.

Each map looks overwhelming at first.

Too many flowers. Not enough hives.

Some species deteriorate faster. Some can survive a little longer.

You can’t always save everything.

But you can decide what survives.

Protect what matters. Let the rest go.

How It Plays

You place hives on a hex grid to support nearby flowers.

Coverage depends on distance:

• Too far and they decay.

• Too close and they won’t be attended.

Each hive can support only a limited number of flowers.

Fragile species collapse quickly.
Resilient ones buy you time.

You only get one tactical pause per map ( a short window to reorganize everything )

Even then, recovery takes time.
Fixing the layout doesn’t guarantee survival.

Sometimes, it’s already too late.

Demo Includes

• 4 tutorial maps

• 6 procedural maps

• Tactical pause system

• The full core gameplay loop

Approximate playtime: ~10 minutes per session (with retries)

Fast Maps. Tight Decisions.

Each map plays in 30–90 seconds.

Victory isn’t binary.
You might stabilize the biome at least at 75%.
Or push for 100% perfection.

Retrying for a better outcome is part of the experience.
