You're a worker bee that is trying to get honey to bring it back to the hive.
If you don't bring it back in the required time limit, you lose the game! I
know it sounds intriguing, but don't die of anticipation! In a more serious
note, I just thought that it's rather interesting that the developers of Game
Genie developed this game.
Controls:
A: Shoot
B: Sting
A + B: Use Bomb(only if you have some)
Control Pad: Move
Start: Pause
Select: Nothing
The goal of the game is to go in the flowers throughout the flowers and bring
them back to your hive at the beginning of the level. Do this until your honey
jar is full. While doing so, you must get past several obstacles and enemies.
To get rid of enemies, you can use a continous shot by holding A, or by
stinging downwards by pressing B. Use what you think is right to defeat each
enemy. Or read the enemy section later in the FAQ!
Starting Your Game
------------------
When you boot up the game, press Start to start a new game. You can't save
during the game. You will be able to choose either the front door or the back
door. Each door goes through a different set of levels. When you choose one
door, you can't switch until you beat that set. Once you beat both sets of
stages, you win! There are three different kinds of levels as you play. Levels
1-4 are garden levels. Levels 5-8 are swamp levels, and levels 9-12 are house
levels. Each level has different enemies and flowers.
Playing the Game
----------------
There are two things that you should look at when you're playing the game. The
top part is the playing screen. This is self-explanatory; it's the screen
where you control Bee and complete the game. The purple bar on the bottom
shows various stats.
To the very left of the bar, you see an hourglass which represents time. When
all the sand is at the bottom, you lose. :( Time gets shorter and shorter as
you progress through the levels.
Just a bit to the right of the hourglass, you'll see some bombs. Press A and
B at the same time to use one. A bomb destroys almost everything on the
screen, but you only have a limited amount. Use them sparingly. You can pick
up more bombs as you play the game.
There are two things in the middle. The first is the number at the top. This
if you score. If you have a high score when you get a game over, you can input
your name on the high score list. The second thing are the number of bees.
This represents the number of lives that you have left. When you run out, it's
game over.
On the right side of the bar, you'll see a honey jar. When this jar is full,
you complete the level.
There is one more thing the purple bar shows. There are some enemies which go
to your give and steals honey from you. When one is close, they'll appear on
the bar. Make sure to go back right away when this happens!
When you start up the game, there are two doors that you can go through: the
front door and the back door. Each door contains different levels. Choose
whichever one you want to beat first.
======================*===============*===============*=======================
[3.1] Front
======================*===============*===============*=======================
Stage 1
-------
Sting the spider at the beginning of the level to get rid of it. Proceed
forward and you'll find several holes in a wall. The third one has a bomb, so
be sure to stick yourself in it. Afterwards, you'll see a butterfly fluttering
around two flowers with an ant crawling underneath. Kill them and get the
honey from the two flowers. After the two flowers, there will be a sprayer.
Go past that to find another flower, butterfly, and worm. Get the honey from
the flower and if this is the first level that you played so far in the game,
head back to home. If not, continue on.
There will be a worm ready to pounce on you in the tree, so beware of that.
Contiunue past the sprayer to see more flowers with worms on several vines.
Shoot down the worms to get the remaining honey in the flowers.
Note: The last flower on this level teleports you to level four, if this if
the first stage that you're playing.
Stage 2
-------
Shoot the purple spider. Some fireflies will come at you, so shoot them
down to get some powerups. Avoid the worm in the tree and go to the first
blue flower. Steal the honey and shoot the worm on the vine. Get the next two
flowers, then watch out for the spider! It will come down at random times.
There will be a blue flower after that, followed by a sprayer. This sprayer
fires at random intervals. Zoom past it when there's the least amount. Shoot
down another purple spider in the tree and get the next few flowers. Beware
though, there's a spider waiting for you between the second and third and it's
very quick.
Shoot the worm afterwards and the two purple spider in the tree. There's a
sprayer afterwards that sprays all of its stuff to the outside. After one
spray, just get in close, then fly over. There are many purple spiders in the
trees. It's pretty easy to just shoot them all, get the flowers, and head back
for the nest.
Stage 3
-------
At the very beginning of the level, you'll see a grasshopper. Eliminate it,
then proceed to the flowers in front of you. You'll see a spider drop down
after the second one, so be careful there. A firefly also passes by around
here, so shoot it down for a powerup. Continue until you reach the fence. This
fence has bugs in it, so shoot them down. Enter the fourth hole in the fence
to get a powerup. Move forward to the sprayer. There's a flower here, but it's
difficult to get so save it for last. Continue until you see some worms near
flowers. Shoot them down easily. The rest of the level is straightforward.
Shoot the worms on the vines and just nab the flowers.
Now, back to the flower near the sprayer. This one is a little tricky to get,
and you must be perfect with your timing in order to reach it. Start on the
left side of the sprayer. It will spray outward. After a few times, it'll stop
for a second. At that moment, move in and to the left into the flower. Don't
hold down the directional pad or you will move to far forward and "slide"
before turning. This will throw off the timing and you will not make it.
Stage 4
-------
This level introduces killer wasps. They're nothing but a new obstacle. Just
fly out of their path. Go left at the beginning of the level. Avoid the
purple spiders in the tree. There's one that hides at the upper edge of the
screen, so beware of that. You should see a firefly come by soon enough; be
sure to shoot it for a powerup. Go past the fence to see the first few
flowers, but with worms in them! Shoot the worms so you can gain access to
the flowers.
The level is straightforward until you reach the stump with a wasp on it.
Shoot it down before it starts flying because it's really difficult to kill
since it flies just as fast as you do. There are more of them toward the end
of the level, near the sprinkler. Use a bomb if you have to, but I think that
you have time to shoot them down at this point.
Stage 5
-------
We begin the swamp levels now. You may notice that things look a little
different. At this point in time, just watch out for the bugeyed bubble
monsters.
Right at the go, you'll see a blue weevil sitting comfortably in a flower.
Sting it, then suck the honey out of there. Go left past the reeds to see
another flower with a worm in it at the top. Shoot it from the left side
since the right is blocked by a leaf.
Although water won't kill Bee, bubbles will. Avoid the bubbles coming out on
the left and head a bit left. Dodge underneath the water beetles that follow
afterwards. Stay close to the water. You'll see some gnats afterwards. Shoot
them down and sting the bubble monster nearby.
After the gnats, you'll see two flowers and a stump with bubbles coming out.
There's another flower on the other side of the stump and a water beetle. Go
left a bit more and you'll see a wasp facing the opposide direction sitting
on a rock. Quickly shoot it down before it notices you and continue. Next,
obtain the honey from the flower underneath the tree.
There are two water beetles after that. One comes down like all the others
before, the other jumps up! Avoid them and get another flower at the base of
the tree. Avoid the bubbles and shoot down the worm in the flower. The last
flower is just a bit to the right of that one, next to two water beetles.
Sting the weevil in it and head back to the nest to complete the level.
Stage 6
-------
This level introduces fat frogs. They're exactly like grasshoppers. Sting the
ones in the water and shoot the ones on land. Anyway, kill the first two that
you see and obtain the honey from the two flowers. Move forward past the
vines(don't worry, there are no water beetles on them) to see two more
flowers. Sting the weevil and shoot the worm in them and get the honey from
both.
There will be a few worms ahead on the reeds. Just shoot them and get the
flowers. After the worms, you'll see a stump. Avoid the bubbles coming out of
it and proceed. There will be a few more flowers afterwards, but there are
also rapidly spawning wasps. Dodge them. The last two flowers are just beyond
another stump.
Stage 7
-------
Beware of the fish in this level. It'll just pop out of nowhere, so stay high
throughout the level. Sting the weevil at the left side of the trunk, then get
the flower. There's a worm in the next flower nearby, so shoot it down. The
next few flowers are just...there. So get them, bring them back to the hive
and continue onwards.
You'll soon come to a tree. Notice the wasp on it. Shoot it down quickly and
continue. There's another wasp on a stump near some flowers. Kill this one
by stinging it since you can't shoot through a stump. The next three flowers
are close together. One of them has a weevil in it(shoot it) and another has
flies hanging around it, in which you should sting.
The last three flowers at the end of the level are guarded by three wasps. If
you want to make life easier, you can use a bomb to get rid of all three, but
I find it easier to just let one chase you. When you go in the flower,
sometimes it'll just disappear. And that's level 7 in a wrap!
Stage 8
-------
This stage has dragonflies. Just shoot them down as normal and don't let them
follow you. They leave...things behind. The first flower is some time ahead.
Destory the dragonfly near it and stay high so the fish don't get you. The
next few flowers are clumped together. Destory the ones with weevils in it.
Sting the bubbles if they get in the way. Yes, the gray flowers count.
After those flowers, you'll see a dragonfly resting on a lilypad. Treat it
like a wasp and shoot it down quickly before it can react. One of the next
gray flowers has bugs over it. Sting them so you can get the honey.
The next noticable obstacle is the golden dragonfly sitting on a stump.
Quickly head above it and sting it. Pass the stump for the last few flowers.
The last one has a few bugs over it. It's no big deal; just sting them and
finish the level.
Stage 9
-------
And now, we start the last set of house levels. Enter the house defeating the
purple spider. Kill the weevil in the hole, then examine it to get yourself
a nice bomb. Continue to the left and get two flowers. There will be a venus
flytrap after that. Sting it when it closes its trap, then move onwards.
You'll fine a stove soon. The stove will push you up. If you touch it, Bee is
fried. Take the first option and move past it. You'll find some more flowers,
but they are surrounded by sticky fly paper. Bee moves slower than your
grandma here, so try to avoid them.
After the fly paper, you'll find a killer wasp sitting on a jar. Sting it,
then proceed to the sink. The drops kill you, so you can either time your way
through them or take the slow route through the sticky paper on top. The last
few flowers will be past that sink. Return to the hive and finish level 9!
Stage 10
--------
This level introduces fleas. They're just like grasshoppers. Anyway, move
forward. Get the first two flowers in plain sight. You'll then see an stove.
There's a bug in a flower on the other side that shoots straight at you. Since
you can't do anything besides go back and forth over the stove, be sure to
kill it quickly. Hold down A if you have auto-fire while going through the
stove.
Head left past more flowers and sticky fly paper. You'll see a sink with a
spider hanging above. You can't kill the spider while it's in that position,
so you'll be forced to time you way past the sink.
After the sink, there really aren't that many obstacles. Destroy the small
bugs around the green flower, then continue moving to forward to the last
flower, which is guarded by a spider hanging down between two cabinets and
a weevil. Go above the spider and sting it, then shoot down the weevil. The
hole that it was in contains invincibility, which is pretty darn helpful.
Get the last flower and return to the hive to complete level 10.
Stage 11
--------
Sniper spider appear on this level, and boy are they annoying. Sting them
between their shots or just dodge them altogether. At the start of the level,
you'll see that there's a butterfly on the doorknob. Shoot it down from a
distance, then avoid the two sniper spiders to get to the first flowers of
the level. The sniper spiders there are very difficult to kill by stinging,
if not impossible because of the sticky paper above it.
Go left and pass another sniper spider that blocks your path onwards. Wait for
it to hide, then quickly head past it to some more flowers. Keep going until
you hit the sink. The droplets are fast, AND there's a sniper spider in the
middle so you can't go over the top of the sink. This is a hard obstacle to
get past, so use a bomb if needed. After that, you'll see two flowers with a
killer wasp perched to the left. After obtaining the honey from them, drop
down and kill the wasp with your stinger. There's a killer wasp hiding in a
jar to the left before the stove. Dodge it, then head over the stove while
shooting the weevil on the other side.
The last flower is just a bit further. It's guarded by a wasp and sniper
spider which is right underneath a cabinet. Get the flower and complete
level 11.
Stage 12
--------
This is the last level for the front door stages. Boy, are bombs useful. This
level introduces mystery green bugs. Sting them to get rid of them. At the
start of the level, you'll notice one of them perched on a doorknob. I don't
know if it's just me, but this one doesn't do anything. Just sting it and
shoot down the weevils.
Head past the first flower to a sink with rapidly dropping sinks. There's a
flytrap in the middle. Don't worry about it. Just sting it if it catches you.
Go past another flytrap hidden in the cabinets and go through the stove.
There's a green bug perched in the middle. When it rises to meet you, sting
down quickly.
The next obstacle to note is the spider hanging in a tight space. Fly into
the string of web above and sting down to kill it. After that, there will be
a whole bunch of flowers. This is pretty much the end of the level. Get the
flowers from the back first, then get back to the hive. This area is guarded
by a bunch of green bugs. Sting them, or just use a bomb if necessary. It
is the last level of the front door levels after all. :)
If you haven't beaten the back levels yet, then get to it. If you have, then
you've completed the game!
======================*===============*===============*=======================
[3.2] Back
======================*===============*===============*=======================
Stage 1
-------
Sting the spiders coming down and go right over the wall. Just beyond there
are three flowers. If you haven't completed the other set of levels yet, then
you're done. Otherwise, keep advancing. There's nothing unusual or difficult
about this stage. You'll see four vines with worms on it. Shoot them all down
and keep moving forward. After that, there will be a large tree...with nothing
in it. You'll then meet a sprinkler. This one won't reach you if you fly along
the very top of the screen. That's the last obstacle of the stage, which is
relatively easy.
Note: If this is the first level that you're playing, the last flower on the
stage will warp you to level four.
Stage 2
-------
There's a spider in front of the first flower, which is conveniently placed
right in front of you. A little further on, you'll see a sprinkler. Again, if
you stay on the upper edge of the screen, it should effect you at all. Shoot
down the worm on the vine, then collect some more flowers. Pass the five vines
with worms on it and you'll see a tree with one more worm in it that will
drop.
After the tree, you'll see five more vines, but these will have purple spiders
in them. Shoot them down or just avoid them. You'll see a normal brown spider.
Sting it, then reach the end of the level where the last of the flowers are.
Stage 3
-------
There will be a grasshopper right at the start of the level. Sting these new
enemies while they're on the ground. Go forward to see a sprinkler. They come
out at random intervals, so the flower just beside it is a little tricky to
get. It requires a bit of luck or just really good timing. Here's a tip:
remember Bee's lagtime when it starts to fly.
Continue forward to see a spider blocking your path. Fly straight into its
web, then move down and sting it. The rest of the flowers in the level are
places very close together with little to no obstacles. The very last flower
next to the wall has a sprinkler protecting it and a few grasshoppers. Sting
the grasshoppers and you're home free.
Stage 4
-------
This stage introduces killer wasps. Sting them to get rid of them. Anyway,
start the level by shooting down the purple spiders on the fence. You'll then
see a few worms hiding in flowers. Shoot them down before going inside them.
Head a little further to see a tree. This tree has a worm in it on the right.
You'll also see a killer wasp sitting next to it. If you have an upgraded
shot, shoot it from afar. If not, head towards it and sting it before it can
react. Whatever you do, don't let it go after it sees you. It will NOT
disappear. :/
The next few flowers will be clumped together, so get them then move past the
vines. You'll see a sprinkler with a killer wasp on it. The sprinkler sprays
upwards quickly, then pauses for a brief second. Use the stop to sting the bee
quickly, since you don't really have enough room to shoot it down unless you
have the 3-way shot.
As you proceed right, you'll see a fence and a bunch of killer wasps. These
don't follow you, so just worry about not running into them by mistake. After
the fence, you'll see a sprinkler, then meet a killer wasp that only shoots
at you. A bit further right is the end of the level. There's a shooting wasp
right above the flower, so be sure to shoot it out before attempting to get
the last flower. Compelte level 4.
Stage 5
-------
There are bubbles coming out right at the beginning. Sting them to get rid
of them, then sting the weevil in the flower. There will be come water beetles
near the vines to the right. Shoot them down and continue to the cloud of
gnats. Shoot them down too.
There will be many bubbles surrounding the second flower that you encounter.
Sting them if necessary, then move forward. Shoot the worm in the second
flower to the top, then sting the bee before it starts to move. After that,
you'll see a stump. The hole on the right contains a 1UP, always useful.
The last two flowers are just to the right of the stump. Watch out for the
water beetle that drops down between them. End level 5.
Stage 6
-------
This level has fat frogs in it. Treat them just like grasshoppers. This level
is extrememly easy and short with There's one visible frog in the
water and two weevils hiding in the flowers. There are several flying wasps
around the vegetation. The end of the level is protected by one homing wasp.
Nothing much to worry here, just bubbles and frogs.
Stage 7
-------
Fish will start to appear on this level. Try to stay high if you can. Fish
are usually unexpected and can lead to a quick death. At the start of the
level, there will be a bunch of bubbles. Head forward and kill the weevils in
the flowers. A bit further along, there will be a killer wasp sitting on a
knob of a tree.
After the trees, you'll see flowers protected by shooting killer wasps. The
last few flowers are a bit further on protected only by two clouds of gnats,
which can easily be taken down by shooting at them.
Stage 8
-------
Stage eight introduces dragonflies. Treat them like killer wasps. When you
start the level, you'll immediately see a fat frog on a stump and a cloud of
gnats. Shoot them down. 3-Way Shot proves very useful in this instance, if
you have it. After two flowers, you'll see your first dragonfly. If you have
a strong shot, shoot it before it reaches you, otherwise sting it.
After the stump, you'll see another dragonfly, this time on a rock. It's
yellow, but it's exactly the same as before. Shoot the gnats in the holes in
the stump and flowers afterwards. Beware the killer wasp on the rock. After
the killer wasp, you'll see a blue bug. Destroy it first before getting the
flowers because its shots might drop down on you.
There are a few more flowers left in the stage. Sting the cloud of gnats as
you go underneath the vine, then shoot down the shooting bee and weevils in
your path to the last four flowers.
Stage 9
-------
Now, we start the house levels. Shoot the purple spider crawling down the
door, then the weevils in the cracks of the wall. The first hole to the top
has invincibility in it, which I'm sure will help you all. Shoot another
weevil in the flower, then sting the flytrap. Fly underneath the fly paper,
then get some more flowers.
You'll see another flytrap located right underneath a cabinet. We have to
cross its path, so be sure to sting it as you fly by. Next obstacle will be
a sink. Time your path below its drops OR fly through the fly paper on top of
it. Afterwards, you'll see a stove. There's a weevil on the other side
waiting to shoot you, so keep tapping/holding A to clear the other side.
Right next to the weevil is a killer wasp. Sting it on your way to the last
three flowers. The last flower has a weevil just to the right of it, so shoot
it down before attempting to go in the flower.
Stage 10
--------
This level introduces fleas, yet another frog/fish/grasshopper clone. You'll
see one right at the beginning of the level on a doorknob, next to a cloud of
gnats. Shoot down both. You'll see a spider blocking your path. Either go
under it, or sting it to its death. There's a fly just next to it, so shoot
that down also and you'll reach your first set of flowers.
After those flowers, you'll see another spider impeding your path. Sting it
and you'll be at a sink. Run past that and shoot down the onslaught of fleas.
You're at the end of the level, collect the stuff from the last few flowers
and leave.
Stage 11
--------
Here, we're going to see sniper spiders. Sting them to get rid of them. You'll
see a killer wasp right at the beginning of the level. Sting it as you fly by.
The first jar has a hidden sniper spider. Sting it as you fly by and you'll
see a sink with another sniper spider in between the faucets. Take the bottom
route. The next jar contains another sniper spider. Shoot the weevil in the
hole, then continue to another batch of flowers. There's a killer wasp between
the two flowers, so sting it first.
Go further right to see a stove. The hole before the stove on the bottom has
a bomb in it. Collect it, the proceed past the stove. There's a bunch of
flowers over here, but they are protected by quite a number of killer wasps
and fleas. An excellent place to waste your bombs, if you need to. After all,
there is only one more level left.
Stage 12
--------
This is the last level. The first thing you'll notice is our newest enemy,
the mystery green bug. It will charge right at you if it sees you, so sting
it before it does. Sting the spider as you proceed, then you'll see three
green bugs. This is a hard part of the stage. Don't stay in that area too
long or more bugs will reproduce. Just quickly sting the ones that get near
you and just approach the flowers so those bugs are out of your site. Or you
can use a bomb.
After the bugs, you'll see a sink with a flytrap in the middle. Trot along
underneath it and sting the flytrap in the way. Continue past a few more
flowers to find a stove. Shoot the gnats in the way, then go down and over
the spider while shooting the weevil. Head left and you'll see flowers. These
flowers are heavily guarded with green bugs that WILL follow you like killer
wasps. They're smaller and faster. You can try to sting them, but at this
point I just bombed them. You're at the end of the level anyway. Collect the
last few flowers surrounded by fleas and green bugs and head back.
If that was level 24, congratulations, you beat the game! If not, read the
front door section and beat that side.
For you beginners out there, here are a few tips that you can use as you play
the game. No doubt that you'll eventually find these out as you gain
experience in playing the game.
~Sting enemies if you can. Stinging enemies are inifintely faster than
shooting them, but it's lack of range can be a problem.
~Watch out for anything in Bee's path! For some odd reason, Bee bounce back
A LOT when it hits something. This lag time is enough for a killer wasp or
dragonfly to kill you.
~Enemies regenerate after a given amount of time. Just beware of this. Some
enemies regenerate faster than others.
~If your honey gets sapped by a bugeyed bubble monster or an ant, a few
flowers at the beginning of the level will open up. Get them and bring them
back to the hive. Also, you scare them away if they're just approaching your
hive and you show up.
~After beating the first set of levels, Bee will no longer be able to hover
and you lose all of your powerups. To stay in the air, just keep tapping up.
It'll be a little harder to get in the flowers, but that's the point, isn't
it?
~When flying over a stove, be sure to shoot(hopefully you'll have a powered
up 3-Way Shot by the house levels...) the other side clear of enemies,
especially weevils. When weevils shoot at you, you can't really do much since
your speed is slightly reduced and you can only move left and right.
Fireflies appear in every level. When you destroy one, it will drop a powerup.
These powerups grant you more strength or other effects. Either way, they're
really helpful. Some of these effects combine or stack.
1. Invincibility
It looks like a shield. This will make you invincible. Nothing can kill you.
It's a very useful powerup, especially in later levels. However, it will only
last a limited amount of time. There's one glitch to this powerup. If you get
caught by a flytrap's tongue and get pulled in, you will still die. If you
just touch a flytrap while its mouth is closed, you'll kill the flytrap.
2. Star Shot
It looks like a little star, or spikey thing. This makes Bee's sting VERY
powerful. You can destroy anything in one or two hits, AND it has great range.
Combine it with 3-Way Shot for an extremely powerful attack.
3. Auto-Fire
This powerup looks like an A. This gives you the ability to constantly fire
your stinger while holding A. Pretty useful.
4. Rapid-Fire
This powerup looks like three of Bee's shots. This allows Bee to fire more
shots at the same time. Works really nicely when combined with Auto-Fire.
5. Three-Way Shot
This allows Bee's attack to shoot in three different directions in front of
you. Great for clearing out many enemies at once. This looks like three
arrows.
6. Junior
It looks like a little bee. Junior follows Bee around and imitates its
attacks. Also absorbs one hit for you so you won't die with one hit.
7. Bomb
Just an extra bomb that you can use. It destroys all enemies.
8. 1-Up
It's a 1-Up in a bubble. It gives you an extra life.
Garden Levels(1-4)
------------------
1. Ant
This ant crawls on the grass on the floor. It can't really do anything to you
unless you run straight into it, but it if you don't kill it(use the stinger),
it will continue marching to your hive and suck all the honey from your hive.
They regenerate very slowly in small brown mounds on the ground. They look
like small tree stumps.
2. Spider
Really easy guy. It'll drop down on a string of web. If you try to fly through
the web, you'll get stuck. You'll only be able to move up and down. Just fly
down and sting the spider to free yourself and defeat the enemy. Spiders are
shotproof, so don't try to shoot them down. Spiders also appear in some house
levels.
3. Butterfly
These guys are more common in the first few levels, and might also make a few
house level appearances. They just bobble around on the screen, trying oh so
hard to follow you, but isn't even close to your speed. Either attack will
defeat it.
4. Worm
Worms are pretty harmless. They just crawl up and down on vines or drop from
trees. Shoot or sting them to destroy them.
Starting on Level 2:
5. Purple Spiders
I don't really know what these insects are. What I do know is that they like
to spit a string of web that goes up and down in a yo-yo like fashion. If you
touch the web, you'll get pushed down. Shoot down the enemies to defeat them.
Makes a reappearance in house levels.
Starting on Level 3:
6. Grasshoppers
You'll see grasshoppers on the bottom of your screen. They jump. If they touch
you, you will die. It's much easier to just sting them on the ground.
Grasshoppers also regenerate really fast.
Starting on Level 4:
7. Weevils
These things hide in holes or flowers. They shoot at you. Weevils can either
shoot in a straight line or rotate. Shooting them might not work when they
are in some positions, but usually they are vulnerable to both attacks. Shoot
them if you can because you don't really want to risk going right up to them
with the possibility of getting shot down. Weevils appear in all stages after
this four.
8. Killer Wasps
Now these are strange creatures. There are really three different kinds of
killer wasps that you can find. They are susceptible to both attacks, but
it's easier to use one attack in special cases, as listed below. Wasps appear
in every level after this one.
~Homing Wasp
This wasp will follow you as soon as it sees you. It can't shoot at you, but
its speed is slightly faster. It won't stop until it touches you(killing you)
or you kill it. If you have an upgrades shot, shoot it. If not, fly above its
head and quickly sting it before it can react. These wasps follow you, but
just like Bee, it has a lag time before actually beginning to fly quickly.
Easily the most annoying of the three variations.
~Flying Wasp
These are essentially harmless. They usually come in large packs and just fly
across the screen. Unless you're dumb enough to stay in its path, you won't
get hit. If you want to destroy them, shoot them.
~Shooting Wasp
These wasps are stationary. They will shoot at you from a distance. If you
can, sting them since they can't shoot up, but otherwise just time your shots
to destroy the wasps.
Swamp Levels(5-8)
-----------------
9. Bugeyed Bubble Monster
These are equivalent to ants in the garden levels. They float around in
bubbles that go to your hive and steals the honey. They are shotproof, so
sting their bubbles to defeat them. Bubble monsters also appear in all house
levels.
10. Water Beetles
Water Beetles crawl down on vines or just drop out of nowhere. They can also
jump out of the water. Shoot them to get rid of them. They will only kill you
if you touch them.
11. Gnats
These come in clouds. They're really small bugs that don't do much but fly
around in circles blocking your path. Shoot them all down to destroy them.
Gnats are pretty much harmless.
Starting on Level 6
12. Fat Frogs
Frogs hide in the water, then pop out and jump, just like grasshoppers. Only
difference is that frogs MIGHT disappear after hitting the water, so you
don't know where they are. Either attack takes them out.
Starting on Level 7
13. Fish
Fish are similar to frogs and grasshoppers. They stay unseen in the water,
then all of a sudden pop out! Once in a while, one of these fish will start
"flying" through the screen and shoot at you. It's really hard to defeat fish
since they jump really fast, and only sting attacks work.
Starting on Level 8
14. Dragonflies
Dragonflies are tough enemies just like killer wasps. As soon as one spots
you, it will chase you. It's a bit slower than a killer wasp and I don't think
that it follows you throughout the entire level, but it can shoot at you.
Treat them like killer wasps. Sting them before they can react or shoot them
from afar if you have a strong shot.
15. Blue Bugs
Blue bugs drop little shots or eggs or something. The shots will hover in the
air for a second, then drop down on you. Touching a shot or the bug will kill
Bee. Shooting blue bugs are the easiest way out. They tend do bob up and down
similar to butterflies, so stinging them can be difficult.
House Levels(9-12)
------------------
16. Flytraps
Plants that are just sitting around. They extend their tongue out in an
attempt to grab you. If you get touch it, you'll get pulled towards it and
die. If you sting it quickly though, you'll destroy it and live.
17. Flies
Flies are similar to blue bugs. They'll swoop down, then leave little shots.
These shots will drop down on you after a brief moment. You'll die if you
touch one or the fly. Either attack will kill the fly.
Starting on Level 10
18. Fleas
Fleas are like grasshoppers/frogs. They're small, regenerate really fast, and
hop around trying to touch and kill you. Use either attack to destroy them.
Starting on Level 11
19. Sniper Spiders
My god, sniper spiders are annoying. They're hidden and you can't see them
until they pop out. They'll fire straight up very quickly in short spurts,
or around them in a volcano-like fashion. They're immune to shots, so you'll
have to sting them to get rid of them. It's difficult to sting them while
they're shooting though, so sometimes it might be best to just wait for them
to disappear and fly away from them.
Starting on Level 12
20. Mystery Green Bugs
These bugs are small. They rest on something like a sink, then when they see
you they'll charge. Just duck underneath them and they'll disappear. They'll
regenerate right afterwards though. It's best to just leave these things
alone. Once you kill one, another reappears so it's really pointless, except
for score. On level 12/24, mystery green bugs at the end of the level MIGHT
follow you around like a killer wasp. For these guys, sting them quickly.
Or, take the easy way out with a bomb.
Obstacles
---------
21. Sprinkler
A sprinkler doesn't harm Bee, but each spray will knock you around a little
bit. It's a really annoying obstacle that can knock you into an enemy.
Sprinklers shoot out water at different times. Some have patterns and some
don't. Watch them carefully. Or, just read this walkthrough. Sprinklers only
appear in the garden levels.
22. Bubbles
Water from sprinklers won't kill Bee, but bubbles will. Either attack will
destroy them. Bubbles usually rise out of the water in swamp levels in
bunches.
23. Sink
Sinks appear in house levels. They have very leaky faucets. Each drop of water
can kill you, so you must either fly above it(usually there's some other
obstacle in the way) or time your way through the drops of water.
24. Stove
Stoves are very hot. When you touch one, you die. If you fly over it, you'll
get pushed up. Usually, in later house levels, you'll see something like a
weevil on the other side that will shoot at you. And with no way to escape,
you're screwed. Be sure to shoot the other side to clear enemies before going
over a stove.
25. Fly Paper
Fly paper is very sticky. When you fly through it, your speed will be reduced.
A lot. Fly out of it to return to normal speed. I find this to be one of the
more annoying obstacles because if there are enemies around, you're screwed.
It also takes up a lot of time to get out of which can cost you a life,
especially on later levels.

Although this was created by the developers of the Game Genie, there aren't
all that many codes/secrets out there. Here are the known ones.
Start With Junior
-----------------
When you see a picture of Bee before the start of each level, press:
Right, A, B, A, B, Start. This will start you with Junior!
Warp to Level 4
---------------
On Level One of either door, go the very end of the level. Enter the last
flower and you'll warp to level four.
Invincibility Glitch
--------------------
This is not a good glitch. If you fly into a flytrap while its mouth is open
and you're invincible, you'll still die. I don't know this is. If you just
touch it while its mouth is not open, you'll kill the flytrap like a normal
enemy.
Game Genie Codes
----------------
SXSGOSVK Infinite lives
GZSSTTEI Don't get stunned
PAXYKGLA Start with 1 life
TAXYKGLA Start with 6 lives
PAXYKGLE Start with 9 lives
GXNKNTAL and GZOKUYAP Fly quicker
Q: What do I do when an ant/bugeyed bubble monster reaches my nest?
A: Hurry back quickly to scare it away. If all of your honey's gone, then
just complete the level as normal and previously closed flowers will open
up again so you can fill your jar.
Q: How many bombs can I carry?
A: The screen will only show three, but I believe that there's an infinite
amount that you can carry. They just won't be shown.
Q: What is the difference between garden/swamp/house levels?
A: Only the obstacles in the way and enemies. The goals are still the same.
Q: Will the water kill me on swamp levels?
A: No, but you'll be moving a lot slower if you crawl along the water.
Q: When should I use bombs?
A: When you can't get past a certain area without a great risk of being hit.
Bombs aren't that scarce, so as long as you have at least two, use them
at will.
