Beelionair

Beelionair is an idle game about bees and honey. You start with one hive and ten bees, and grow them into a colony that earns millions of coins a minute.

Start with ten bees and a few coins

Your bees fly to the best flowers nearby and bring the nectar home, and the hive slowly fills with honey. Collect it for coins, then buy more bees, a second hive, Pollen Baskets and Scout Bees. Before long the same small meadow is paying millions a minute.

Ten bees become thousands

A hive starts with room for 50 bees and grows to hold 1,500. Buy them one by one and watch the sky fill: first hundreds, then thousands, every one flying out to a flower and back. New bee types change your plans. Longtongue bees make much more royal jelly, Ember bees pollinate many times faster, and Frost bees bring home several times the coins.

Plant once, and the meadow spreads on its own

Buy seeds from Clover and Crocus all the way up to epic Lavender and Delphinium. An epic flower makes several times the honey of a wildflower. Your bees pollinate as they fly, so a planted patch spreads and fills in by itself. Batch Plant sows up to 120 flowers in one click.

Cut flowers for coins, and look out for golden ones

A thick patch of flowers is worth cutting. One swing of the scythe cuts every flower it touches and pays out on the spot, and a single epic flower can be worth millions. Now and then a wildflower grows golden. It makes several times the honey and pays far more when you cut it.

Place, paint and upgrade your hives

Bees collect from the flowers around their own hive, so where you put it matters, and hives need room between them. Each hive levels up on its own, with space for more bees and more honey. Then paint it: each click picks new colors at random, until you like the look.

Research, a New Queen, and new land

Spend coins in a research tree of 58 upgrades, from Scout Bees and Auto-Collect Honey to Longer Scythe. When progress slows, crown a New Queen: start the colony over for royal jelly and boosts that stay with you. Then move on from the Small Plain to the Large Plain, the Forest, the Arid lands and the Alpine. From the Forest on, every new land pays more than the last.
