WELCOME

before we begin, a word about bees

Every third bite of food on your plate exists because a bee visited a flower first. Apples, almonds, berries, pumpkins — pollinated, quietly, for free, forever.

A honeybee colony is one of nature’s gentlest miracles: forty thousand tiny lives thinking together as one mind. This game puts that mind in your hands for a few seasons.

And honeybees are only the famous ones. Bumblebees, mason bees, and thousands of wild bees do the same quiet work with no hive and no honey at all. The kindest thing anyone can do for every one of them is simple: plant flowers — clover in the lawn, herbs left to bloom, one corner gone a little wild.

Everything Hazel teaches here is real beekeeping — the same craft, the same calendar, the same stakes. Play it with your kids. Play it with your grandparents. The bees don’t mind who keeps them — they only ask that you pay attention.

After forty years, a beekeeper is hanging up her veil — and her hillside of hives needs a new pair of hands. Yours.
