Thanks for the great feedback!! The flowers (if dead) spawn bees. If you keep them alive you can prevent bees from spawning. I wanted to create something which the player had to think about and decide wisley. If he does not water the plants properly he is getting punished through the bees. I think it was not clear enough that you have/can to interact with the plants!
To "counter" the bees speed decrease the idea was to spawn powerups (either more inventory or speed) by gathering the eggs.
