Concept is great, but it is very hard to understand details of gameplay.. I think it's a lack of interface. For example when I have lot of bees in hive - they suddenly all die. I think it's because of starving, but don't see any way to control this and to know if my hive is in danger of starving death. So I have to control many things just intuitevely, and it often doesn't work)
It's a fun small game, but it's a little hard to understand what is happening every turn. Suddenly some bees die, at some point it started showing my hive's health (is someone attacking me?).
I think it also needs some more gameplay, like maybe some building elements ? or something like that.
It was fun to pass time though! :D
I like this game. Good work!
A Queen and Her Hive is a strategy game with bees: Think “Civilization bee!” As queen, you are charged with deciding where to found hives and how to assign jobs to your subjects. With these two powers, you must make sure your kingdom gathers enough honey to survive the winter, defends against hungry bears, and roots out zombie infiltration. To what greatness can you lead the kingdom?
This game is experimental! Expect quick deaths, but don't give up! Click on icons for help and explainations. Move the camera by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen. Select hives with Q and E (Great if your camera wanders far from the visible world!) End your turn with enter. Clear the help text and pause with space.
A tip: when you found a hive, prioritize drones so the population rises faster. However, quickly lower drone births or your population will get too large and starve in the winter!

Update!
I’ve updated A Queen and Her Hive. It’s playable in browser again and loads much faster, to boot! I also added some neat Twitter and Twitch integration. I hope you enjoy!
