Hey, I got calmer with the sound and the feeling like flying. I think it's a good idea of game. It was hard to control the bee but after some time I managed to get a flower. I don't think it matches with the jam theme. Anyway, hope you keep working, it would be interesting to see it more polished.

🐝 Thanks! Ya I think I'd need to work on the controls a bit. I'm glad you could see the promise of a more full featured version of the game. I feel like I could take the game in a lot of different directions.
The stealth aspect of the game is hiding from the hawks. I know its not a traditional "stealth" game, but it felt fitting. Actually having the hawks in the game is pretty critical to the game's balance. Since flowers grow each year in a similar area to where they have been pollenated, I wanted a system that would punish a player who only pollenated flowers near their hive. The number of hawks that fly around is based on a few factors one of which is how many flowers will grow that year. If the number is low, you'll start getting tons of hawks and thus probably end up dying, either from starving or from the hawks themselves.
