What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“ "Beekeeper" is a project that is already playable, but we still want to introduce new mechanics to it.
We hope that players will be able to help us with finding bugs. Any suggestions will also be appreciated. :)”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Early Access phase will take between 2 and 3 months.
During this time, we want to refine what is already done and introduce new mechanics into the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During the Early Access phase, we plan to introduce 4 updates that will further diversify the gameplay:
  • BECOME A PUBLISHER - The update introduces the possibility of issuing honey as an independent publisher, which will deal with choosing the right jars, designing labels, choosing the types of stores to which honey will go, and suppliers who will provide this honey there. In addition, we will be able to independently adjust the price of the jar and the size of the effort. We do not have to share sales shares with anyone. However, it should be remembered that this model is definitely more expensive. Will it pay off? It depends on the current market situation and player's skills.
  • MARKETING - You will be able to promote your honey in the media, such as newspapers and other forms of advertising. Thanks to investing in marketing, we can gain a lot, but also lose a lot.
  • SZKODNIKI - Nature is not always as friendly to our actions as we would like. The update introduces pests, that is various animals that will feed on our work. The sight of a bear eating our honey from hives or boars burrowing flower gardens and destroying flowers will certainly be surprising. Our task will be, therefore, to secure our plots.
  • WEATHER - Weather is an important aspect that we would like to introduce to the game. The update would introduce weather forecasts on which the future condition of our plants would depend, and consequently also bees and the whole apiary. If there is drought, we must make sure that our flowers are watered regularly - otherwise they may dry up, which would put us at risk. We can observe future forecasts on the "world map", thanks to which we will be able to apply the appropriate strategy.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game has all the most important mechanics.
We can easily manage an apiary, look after bees, fight opponents and take care of our finances. Only the four abovementioned updates are missing for the full version of the game. If there are any interesting ideas from the community - we will happily add them to the "Beekeeper".”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game will increase slightly after the end of Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want players to have a real influence on the creation of the "Beekeeper".
We will gladly accept and discuss all suggestions. Reporting errors will also have an invaluable effect on the final version of the game. :)”

About This Game



"Beekeeper" is a game of the genre of independent economic strategy, in which you will take on the role of a debut beekeeper, making his first steps in the honey business. You will take the helm of your own company and lead it to the top of the rankings in the local newspaper.




Thanks to the combination of idyllic, pixel-art graphics with a carefully selected, calming soundtrack, "Beekeeper" will take us to the green meadows and golden fields of the nineteenth century, where we will try our hand at bee-keeping business.




Plan and implement your vision of your own apiary and lead it to the top of popularity. Organize the areas for the construction of beehives and other elements and make sure that your bees lack nothing. Use the earned funds to invest in new areas for beehives construction and offer honey of higher quality.




The local newspaper will be happy to look at our activities and publish relevant information. Not all articles are useful, but reading some of them we will be able to find out some valuable information. In addition, for time to time the ranking of the best apiaries is placed here, and our goal is of course the first position in this ranking.


Challenge opponents who do not give up easily and take care of their influence in the game world. Some places for development are definitely better than others and there is a fierce fight for them. It's up to you which field is in your hands. Determination and common sense will allow you to achieve the desired success.




We want our game to satisfy as many players as possible. Therefore, over the next few months, more languages ​​will be added to production, so that as many players as possible can play "Beekeeper" in their native language.




This is not the end of the "Beekeeper" development. In the coming months, new mechanics and options will be added to the game, which will expand the possibilities of the game. Some of them can be seen in the graphics shown below:
