[edit] Synopsis
A bee named Barry B Benson stars on a new show known as "New Hive Tonight". On the show, Barry talks about how did he change the lives of bees and humans, bringing them together.
On his graduation day from BU university(which is the only university in the entire hive), Barry and his friend Adam Flayman head to a place known as "Honex", where they are to work for the rest of their lives. Adam enjoys working, but Barry does not, thinking that everything they do in Honex is making honey, and longs to do something else in his life(according to him, a bee's life only has two stages).
One day, Barry joins the Pollen Jacks, a group of bees who go to the "outside" to collect nectar from flowers and bring them back. However, while Barry is resting, it starts to rain, but he manages to find cover in the apartment of a couple: Vanessa and Ken. Ken tries to smash Barry, but Vanessa allows him to escape. Barry soon discovers that the humans steal their honey regularly, so he goes to get the honey back. After chasing a truck delivering honey, he finds himself in a honey farm, where he takes pictures of it to prove to the rest of the bees that the humans are stealing their honey.
Barry and Adam chase after the car of a main defense lawyer named Layton T Montgomery, and secretly listen to a conversation between him and his associate about the human-stealing-honey case. He sneaks into Montgomery's house to gain access to a safe which holds papers explaining Montgomery's plan, but it is revealed to be a trick and he is attacked by wasps, but he manages to defeat them.
Barry then continues his quest.

Overall, the game received generally favorable reviews. On Metacritic, GameZone gave the game 70 points, stating that "the game will certainly have some charm for younger players, but there are a few challenges to overcome while playing it. Even a 13-year old was surprised and confused when the game changed control options, moving from WASD and arrow keys to numbers, during one section."
