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. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |***** {2.0} Basics *****| |~ ~| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= 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! +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |***** {3.0} Walkthrough *****| |~ ~| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= 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. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |***** {4.0} Tips *****| |~ ~| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= 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. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |***** {5.0} Powerups *****| |~ ~| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= 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. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |***** {6.0} Enemies *****| |~ ~| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= 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. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |***** {7.0} Game Genie/Secrets *****| |~ ~| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= 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.

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. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |***** {9.0} End *****| |~ ~| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Thanks for reading the FAQ!
