Description

You've caught a wild swarm. Can you keep it alive through Year 1?
Buzz is a pixel-art beekeeping sim for your wrist. The hero mechanic is unique to Pebble: tap your wrist and the watch buzzes your hive's mood back at you — a soft hum for calm, a long roar for queenless, a rapid piping for swarm. Seven mood patterns, all built from Pebble's vibration motor. Learn to feel your hive instead of opening it.
Real beekeeping is a sim about restraint. 9 of 10 inspections only stress the colony. Buzz teaches that lesson with outcomes: open the hive too often and stress crushes the queen; do nothing and watch the mood bar climb. A calm-day streak rewards quiet keepers.

• 4 seasons (90 days each): Spring buildup → Summer flow → Fall mite + feed → Winter cluster. Survive Year 1 to win.

• 12 badges for restraint, harvest, splits, overwintering

• Beekeeper character strolls the apiary, holds the frame during inspections, stands at the extractor during harvest
