I'm a bit sad that there were no other ambient sound than that buzzing...machine? wind? But the game and art were really cute. The key binding felt a little bit weird and unnatural, but once I got used to it, the little bee was enjoyable to control.

Bzzz bzzz wow cute little game, love the animations and the inside of the beehive! Keep up the great work!
It was fun to fly around as a little bee and I loved the artwork!
Very cool movement, though the keybindings felt a bit akward and I'd also like a timer or some goal.
I didn't realize at first that I needed to use the mouse to aim and look around. Once I figured that out, it was so satisfying to fly around! Felt really good. I wish I knew how many pieces of nectar existed so that I knew if I found them all. Unless there is and I missed it. Also, I was able to pick up some pieces more than once, so the counter climbed a few extra digits here and there. Could use some better ambient sound, maybe a soft relaxing buzzing while flying, but I would definitely play a full polished version of this! Good job
Pretty fun flying game, I gotta say I love the POV zoom out when you start flying really adds to the speed of your movement. On the other hand the music is setting a rather horror mood so it feels very anti-cozy. Other than that the visuals are a great and controls are fun. Great work! Keep it up!
A very nice flying simulator and it is fun to be the bee. The overall environment was fun to navigate. At first I found some of the perspective camera distortion when accelerating or close to objects to be unwanted, however, I began to feel like this was a bee's-eye-view and their lens into the world could be quite different. The camera could have maybe been a little closer so the bee wasn't accelerating so far away from the player.
I think the game would have come to life more with more ambient music and sounds. I agree with the many comments about preferring WASD controls...but here is why...players generally have left hand on arrows while right hand controls the camera/player view. The left hand needs to frequently move over to space bar to take flight after landing. This is just a bit jarring because it doesn't feel fluid. The initial screen options of Restart and Resume felt confusing since we were just loading into the game for the first time.
Very nice idea and work in 3D space. Was worth playing to fly around.
I really like the bee and idea :D it was a little hard to move around with the arrow keys and mouseinstead of wasd...
I loved the flying feeling anyway :D great work!
The artstyle is really nice and like others have said the flying feels really good. I do wish that wasd-movement would be supported. Also a counter or something like that would be nice to keep track of ones progress and to know how many honey-drops are left would be nice.
great job, keep it up :)
Sick game! Once you get the controls down its fun flying around and the concept is great. Something unique for sure
