About the Game

BKPR is a beekeeping simulation/rpg built by a long time commercial beekeeper/beekeeping youtuber, Brett Kozma, of B&K Bees.

  • Bees modeled after real world bee biology

  • Inspect your hive, add boxes, make splits and more!

  • Battle mites and real world bee diseases!

  • Harvest and extract honey!

  • Sell honey and build your brand by interacting with neighbors and townsfolk

GAMEPLAYAdd hives, inspect hives, harvest and extract honey, manage swarms and mites and just about everything a real world beekeeper has to do! If you are unsure of what to do you can always take bee classes at the bee club in Kozmania, or use the "Ask Grandpa" feature where your in game grandpa will give you a rundown of what needs to be done.

As your hives grow you add boxes, and as the bees pack honey away you work hard to harvest and extract your liquid gold! Once extracted you can sell it at your honey stand or at any of a few different markets in town. 

STORYYour grandpa's bee business has failed and you are tasked to help rebuild. The business is called BoBees and your grandpa Bo is just too old to learn the new stresses that face modern day beekeepers. Rather than learn a new way you are given control of the business. You must inspect your hives and learn how to manage varroa mites, the new(ish) and troublesome parasite that brings disease and demise.
