Field of Bees

Welcome to Field of Bees, the buzzing new card game that lets you experience the world of these essential pollinators. Your mission is to explore the wildflower field, collecting different flowers to lure endangered bee populations to your bee sanctuary. As the game unfolds, you'll need to employ a blend of memory and tactical decision-making to gather the right flower combinations, redeem bee cards, and use their special abilities.

Honey bees are often the first bee we think of when we hear the phrase, “Save the Bees”. However, native bees may be threatened by habitat loss, pathogens, and perhaps managed bees such as Honey Bees. (Worldwide, the use of managed bees for crop pollination and honey production has increased dramatically.) After playing this game, research these flowers and native bees. Then consider planting one of these flowers in your own garden if it supports your region’s ecosystem.
