Instructions—Please Read!

Your hive is filled with workers ready to go out and collect nectar, and it’s your job to tell them where to go—through the medium of dance!

Step 1: Pick a target

Find a spot with a full-looking flower. The tractor has 5 nectar out of a max of 8, so it’s worth a visit!

Step 2: Do the corresponding dance moves

Use your left hand on WASD for the blue arrow and your right hand on IJKL for the orange arrow. The tractor says → ↓, so press D on one beat and then K on the next.

If you did it right, you should see the tractor appear in the thought bubble:

Step 3: Execute!

Double-down on those orders (with keys S, K) to send the bee on its way. If you forget this combo, a reminder is posted on the exit hatch.

Do it in style

If you can do all the above while pressing one and only one key per beat, sweet sweet nectar will soon be headed your way.

In this GIF...D, K, S, K, one per beat.

Need help?

The listener bee will get confused if you:

• Miss a beat
• Tell them to go to the same location twice in a row
• Do a dance that does not correspond to any location
• Tell them to leave without a destination

If this happens, don’t panic! Just get settled and give them a new instruction (starting with the blue arrow) when you’re ready.
