====TI Home Computer without the MBX System====
* Quickly get the bee back to the hive by moving the lever on the Joystick Controller.

===Scoring, Strategy Hints, and Ending the Game===
Your child earns points for each nectar drop collected. Explain the strategy hints to your child on how to outwit the bee's enemies.
====Scoring====
Each time your child returns a bee to its hive with a nectar drop, he or she gains points. A running total of points appears on the screen.
Your child receives 10 points for each nectar drop he or she collects. After your child accumulates 500 points, he or she earns 20 points for each nectar drop collected.
====Strategy Hints====
* Your child's score determines when the enemies appear on the screen. So watch your point total to predict a predator's entrance to the meadow.
* A bear will first appear when your child earns 250 points, only then will he or she have to guard the hive!
====Ending the Game====
The game ends when your child loses all five bees. If your child wishes to play again, have him or her follow the instructions given below for starting a new game.
