It’s thought that all bees work for the good of the colony. However the Queen is allowed to have one favourite; a worker who is smarter and collects more nectar than the rest. That bee is called, THE NIMBEE. GAME OBJECTIVE In Nimbee, you must direct your honey bee around the hive to collect honey and other benefits to best prepare for the excursion into the meadow. There you must search for the sweetest nectar-laden flowers; settle on the bonuses first, or fly ahead to stop your opponents getting to the best blooms. Will you get the timing right and claim the ultimate prize in the secluded glade at the end of the path, or will you fall foul of the greedy bear who wants to raid your hive? At the end of the game the player who has collected the most nectar will be awarded the title of NIMBEE.
