APICO

Build up your very own colony of bees in this cozy and relaxing bee-keeping sim. APICO lets you create, manage, and conserve bees in a beautiful sandbox environment where you not only play for fun, you also learn!

Having grown tired of your job, you leave the city life for your hometown in Port Apico. It’s time to go back to your family’s old occupation: beekeeping.

Live your beekeeping dreams as you craft items and create colonies using mini-games that are based on both actual and fantasy bee ecology. You can crossbreed bees to come up with 30 new species. You can also rebuild lost species and release them back into the wild to give more diversity to Nature. And get ready for plenty of bee puns.

If you’re after the honey, APICO has got you covered. Generate and sell honey, Apicola, and other bee products for profit. You may also explore the various islands and biomes of Port Apico to find different varieties of bees. And if you prefer some company, invite up to three other friends for a multiplayer session.

APICO is designed not just for fun but to educate audiences about the plight of bees everywhere. The developers will donate a portion of their earnings to beekeeping and conservation charity funds.
