Defense

Enemies attack your hive from time to time. They drop bombs, spray poison and launch rockets. Each time they will become stronger. Build ballistae, machine guns, anti-aircraft missile launchers and other defenses to protect your hive


Choose your path

Research new technologies and buildings to keep up with the enemies. Choose which technologies will lead you to victory. Will you end the war with peace or with the destruction of all enemies?


Bees

The queen needs more workers and warriors. Build kindergartens, schools, military bases and grow new bees that will benefit the hive.


Factories

There are 7 types of resources in the game, and to get some of them you will need factories. Build honeycombs and place buildings on them
