Components

• 1 bee figure (3 parts)
• 1 Meadow game board
• 18 stems (green)
• 24 blossoms (in 6 colors), plus 1 spare blossom per color
• 1 color die
• 1 standard die
• 120 pollen / nectar counters
• 5 Honey Jar boards

Before the First Game

Carefully detach all parts from the punchboards.

• A) Assemble the 18 flowers, 3 of each color. To do this, slide 1 blossom onto each stem until it is stuck at the top.
• B) Assemble the bee figure as shown.

Game Setup

1. Take the components out of the box and place the box bottom with the inlay in the center of the table. Put the Meadow game board onto the inlay.
2. Plug the flowers into the round holes of the game board. You can arrange the colors as you like.
3. Put 1 bee pollen counter into each flower. Place the remaining pollen next to the box as a general supply.
4. Put the bee figure onto a random field by fitting it into one of the slots on the board.
5. Each player places 1 honey jar in front of them. Set the 2 dice to one side to start.

How to Play

Whoever has eaten honey last starts the game, and play goes clockwise. When it is your turn:

1. Move the bee. Roll the die with the pips and move the bee clockwise according to the result. Now the bee points at a specific row of flowers. The rows are specially marked with lines on the game board.
2. Spread the bee pollen. Put 1 pollen counter from the supply into each flower of this row. Tip: Watch the spreading of the bee pollen closely and listen carefully. That's how you will know where to find the precious nectar!
3. Collect nectar. Roll the color die. The result shows 1 color of the flowers. Choose 1 flower of the corresponding color from the meadow. (This one does not have to be in the row in which you previously put the pollen.) Take it and empty it out.

There is some nectar in it? Well done! It turns into delicious honey. Place the nectar onto the open spots of your honey jar. Afterwards plug the flower back in its previous place. Then it is the next player's turn.

There is no nectar in it? What a pity! This time you leave empty-handed. Your turn ends. Plug the flower back in its previous place. Then it is the next player's turn.

Game End

Whoever fills their honey jar first wins the game!

Storing the Components

After they are assembled, simply put the flowers into the inlay as shown. That way you have them handy for the next game!
