Breed bees and bring lost species back

Your work starts with simple hives and grows into careful bee genetics. You combine different bees to discover over 45 new species, rediscover lost ones, and release them back into the wild. Solitary bees need their own crafted habitats, and flowers change what nearby hives do, from output to how long bees stay up. You check frames, uncap them, spin honey in the extractor, and sell honey, Apicola, and other products to fund the next experiment. It rewards one small goal at a time, like chasing a single cross before bed.

A slow island life with butterflies and secrets

Port APICO is a set of lush biomes to wander, each with its own bees, flowers, and butterflies to catch and collect. You gather wood and resources, craft machines and minigame workstations, fish, hunt for butterflies with their own effects, and uncover the forgotten secrets of the islands. The look is cute, colorful top-down pixel art with a relaxed pace and no sting attached. Play solo or tend the apiary together with friends in 4-player online co-op, and keep going with mods once the main collection is done.
