Niantic Judge Feedback (Dan Atkins, Product Manager)
Great core concept! I love the idea of getting to follow a bee's path to show how it pollinates a flower. Only feedback is I'd love to see more of this -- showing a single bees journey and using AR to show the scale they work at.
Lightship Leader Judge Feedback (Diego Aguirre)
I feel bee's are such an important part of our planet. I feel this experience does bring good around us by sharing the important work, Bee's do. Regarding the technical aspect, I would suggest for the future to add some color to the box where Honey is stored. The particles and the animations where really well crafted. Seems like a project with many technical challenges but at the end it looks beautiful. I do feel good and spreading awareness is key to understand the importance of bees in our world. Great work! Love it.
I like the animation and particle effects to give it a finished feel. My question is where is the educational element within the app itself? As a player, I want to know a little bit more about the bees.
The only educational point in app is in the visuals, the bees pollinate the flowers and make the tiny ones.
I could add the audio from the video to the game, and maybe a little sign with the summary written on it.
Or maybe have the player just place one flower to start, and have some extra dialog as the first bee slowly pollinates the first flower. Could explain to the player about bees, and maybe even about the flowers and hives as well.
Then have it open up to letting the player place flowers everywhere after they learn a little bit about bees.
Thanks for the feedback! It has me thinking of how to expand this more and how to make it more educational!
That's great. It was intended to help make a job very well done even more powerful.

Definitely one of my favourite submissions
Great idea to help us value the growth of bees. The animation of bees flying over and over again is fascinating.
This is fantastic! Great way to take on the theme and find a very worthy cause. I like how nicely the bee animation and pollination all happens - very well done!!!
