āThe graphics are amazing, there's so many levels that it's almost impossible to get bored with this game.ā
āI love the graphics and the sounds of the bees singing; it's just so cute and makes me laugh every time.ā
āGreat graphics, fun characters, so far a good game...ā
āCheesy graphics, sleeping bees look uncomfortably like maggots and the rest like 5th grade crayon drawings.ā
āTakes a full minute for the opener graphics to match up to the audio.ā
āMaybe need more resources than I have on my phone... you must down the graphics or make a light version for medium quality phones like Samsung Mini S3.ā

The music in the game is widely praised for its cuteness and fun, with many players enjoying the catchy songs sung by adorable bees after completing levels. While some users find the music entertaining and uplifting, others feel it can be repetitive or annoying at times. Overall, the light-hearted and whimsical tunes contribute significantly to the game's charm and enjoyment.
āThe music is light-hearted and contagious.ā
āThe music is adorable and I feel like I can't lose!ā
āThe songs the little bees sing make me smile!ā
āAnnoying music, not enough incentive to play, and repetitive levels makes this game a drag.ā
āUnfortunately it makes it difficult to listen to media because it pauses whatever podcast or music I listen to every time an ad pops up, which is nearly constantly.ā
āThe only thing I don't like is my music gets really low when I'm playing it and I turned off the sound and music.ā

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the increasing frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly after reaching higher levels. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses and the availability of in-app purchases, others feel that the ads disrupt gameplay and detract from the overall experience. Overall, the balance between ad presence and gameplay enjoyment remains a contentious issue among players.
āNo ads, which is worth 4 stars right there.ā
āYou do have in-app purchases if you want.ā
āAlso, the in-app purchases are actually pretty cheap, but I wish there were more ways to earn coins.ā
āThe game is good but the ads are totally ridiculous now.ā
āCurrently horribleš¬ was very good app, using more than 3 years, but... started pushing too many ads that actually jump on very often, go on forever, freeze everything and nothing can be done.... don't mind ads that jump in but so often and so disruptiveš„ŗ a bit too much and totally annoyingš¤®ā
āI'm about to delete my favorite game because the ads are so intrusive.ā

āThe singing bees are hilarious.ā
āThis game is so much fun and it's funny; I have a blast every time I play it.ā

āGood graphics, no glitches so far, gives you a lot of boosters.ā
āAdorable, no glitches.ā
āGreat everything, hardly any ads and no glitches. Wish you could have more lives, but all around a great game/app.ā

āThis used to be my favorite game, but since the update, it freezes my phone.ā
āI do love this game, but it has gotten to the point where you cannot load the game or it freezes. I have tried clearing the cache, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing seems to help.ā

The game's story is described as straightforward and uncomplicated, which some players appreciate for its lack of convoluted narratives. However, many users express frustration with the quest system, particularly the limitations on daily quests and the time required to unlock new levels, which detracts from their overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, players find the gameplay fun and engaging, with appealing graphics and music.
āFun, challenging and cute graphics...especially the story line!ā
āSuper fun, great level ups, the quests are attainable yet challenging, and the bees are pretty sweet!ā
āNo convoluted story lines, no life-devouring complexities.ā
āI get my reward but when I go back to that screen, it's like I didn't even play the daily quest level.ā
āEvery time I play a few levels, I need to unlock so I go play a quest and after I win the quest, it tells me I need to win three quests to unlock the next level, but I can only play one quest a day. It's annoying; every few levels you must unlock or you can't play. Fix that please.ā
āWhat started off as a good enjoyable game turned into a game that keeps crashing and losing you levels on quests that you have already done. Get this fixed.ā

āGreat game, relieves boredom. Update: the yellow one opens its eyes without me touching it, and I know it will kill my family if I ever disrespect it. I've literally deleted and redownloaded it because of it.ā
