Latest Steam announcements

• Fix - 21 July 2026

  Many players were bothered by the fact that the Venomous Dragonfly continued to release poison after death. While this isn't a bug, I've fixed it. Added a maximum number of Steam Cloud sync attempts to prevent the game from freezing in the event of an error. Corrected a grammatical error in the Carbon Bucket description.

• FIX - 8 July 2026

  Fixed all these bugs. Thank you to everyone who submitted the Google Form and messaged us on Discord! "the range marker for the ballista was stuck on screen" "can't save the gafical settings" "when placing down a basic comb, it counts as two blocks, and goes back to one when it is finished building" "i dont quite remeber (but i think the drone) didnt have its description . it just had a text: " drone description here " "Not able to re-join multiplayer! While in a multiplayer lobby with..." "При окончании стрельбы из Плазмомёта у него слишком резко обрывается анимация."

• Game Performance Optimization - 30 June 2026

  The algorithms for bees, enemies, and turrets have been optimized. Average FPS with a large number of units has increased by 11–15%. Fixed an issue that prevented save files from loading when clicking the “Play” button in the main menu. Fixed an issue where the Drone Bee’s weapon had no firing sound in first-person mode.

• Fix - 29 June 2026

  Added a resting bee indicator due to a lack of work in the hive. Many players mistakenly considered resting bees as "broken." Bugs fixed: Unable to build an improved lightning rod Bug with duplicate honeycombs in co-op Bug with different heights of buildings and honeycombs in co-op Incorrect camera speed when speeding up the game An issue with the FPV drone queue when hiring The synchronization interval has been increased, which should improve co-op stability and may resolve client crashes and lag issues for some players.

• A little update - 26 June 2026

  We’ve added: 1)Steam Cloud support, which automatically uploads your game saves. 2)Automatic detection of the player’s Steam language when launching the game for the first time. 3)A button that summons several worker bees in case you lose all your bees and nurseries, allowing you to continue playing. 4)Achievements can now only be unlocked in Story Mode. We’ve also fixed several older bugs, including: 1)Incorrect translations of “Honey” in several languages, including French. 2)In Challenge Mode, dragonflies were unable to damage the Queen. 3)Various other minor issues.

• COOP UPDATE - 25 June 2026

  After three years of development, we've finally released a co-op mode, and now you can play the Bee campaign, the Hornet challenges, and the Sandbox, with your friends! We already have ideas for new updates and co-op modes, but we'd love to hear your suggestions first. We've tested the game as best we could, but if you find any bugs, please feel free to report them to us on Discord or in the in-game Google Form. We'll try to fix them as quickly as possible. We've also made the following changes based on your suggestions and bug reports from Google Forms this year: Steam Cloud support, which automatically uploads your game saves. Automatic detection of the player’s Steam language when launching the game for the first time. A button that summons several worker bees in case you lose all your bees and nurseries, allowing you to continue playing. The maximum number of sots has been increased…

• Update - 9 February 2026

  Winter decorations removed Hope everyone had a good New Year's holidays :) Waiting for an update from Jesus on removing snow from our world

• New Year update! - 18 December 2025

  If the bees in our game were real, they'd celebrate New Year's more joyfully than anyone we know! 364 days a year they work hard and don't expect anything good, but then the holiday comes, and they can relax and dream of a bright future and peace with the hornets. And they wish all of us to take care of ourselves and hope for the best in the new year! In this update, we've brought back thematic models and added beautiful fireworks. And the time came when overseas supplies with new weapons and ideas reached our hive. Now, by order of the Queen, Bee-Captain squads were formed and the production of Bee-Captain drones began. We've also updated the game engine to Unity 6. Game optimization has improved, and the game now lacks the vulnerability found in older versions of Unity that you may have seen in the news this year. Thank you all for your positive and, more importantly, negative feedbac…

• Big update with new game mode! - 27 June 2025

  Hello Hive! Finally, a big update! We've added a new game mode in which you can reconsider your attitude to the fight between bees and hornets, because now you will command the attack on the hives. You will have access to 18 missions, the goal of which will be to destroy only the necessary bee infrastructure and accumulate as much strength as possible for the final battle! Before the start of each mission, you will have access to a certain amount of money, with which you can hire an army of hornets, moths and dragonflies. Sometimes the tasks can be simple, and you can figure out how to complete them with the help of a couple of hornets. Then you will save some of the money and it will go to you in the next mission, which may not be as simple as the previous one. And most importantly - you will be able to personally participate in the thick of the battle, as if you found yourself in 1942…

• The update is being postponed! - 31 May 2025

  Hello, bees! In the last message, we told you about the upcoming update and promised to release it this week. We carefully read all your feedback and comments - they are what inspired us to add new ideas and improvements. As a result, the list of tasks has grown significantly, and we realized that we will not be able to complete the work on time. In order not to release an update with errors, we decided to postpone the release. The update will be released on June 26 - the first day of the summer sale! This way, we will be able to please you with a stable and full-fledged version. Thank you for your support and patience!

• New update! - 24 May 2025

  Get ready for a massive update with a new game mode! It's time to switch sides — now you'll be playing as the hornets! Destroy beehives, complete combat missions, and manage limited resources. 17 exciting missions await you, where you can recruit hornets and moths, launch powerful missile strikes, and save up coins throughout the campaign. And that's not all — take control of bombers and hornets with machine guns to plunge into heated battles and feel like a real fighter on the front lines! As always, we've fixed a number of bugs, improved performance, and fixed fonts for Thai, Korean, and Vietnamese — to make the game even more convenient for everyone. The update is coming next week!

• Special Offer! - 24 May 2025

  Hello everyone! Today our game will be on the main page of Steam all day. We decided that this is a good reason for a 70% discount. And also - now our development team is working on a new update, but we will be able to announce the release date of this update later.

• Tutorial Fix - 12 May 2025

  The hive is about to celebrate. The bees have hung up decorations and are preparing gifts for each other, and the queen is happier than ever! Every year, players, developers, and their mothers work hard, just like bees. The year can be easy or hard, but there is always hope that the next year will be better than the previous one. We would like to wish you success in the new year, love among your loved ones, and do not forget to have a good time, like bees on their paradise island. In this update, we added themed models and textures, and also fixed the bug with the sinking energy storage. If you know anything about other bugs, you can always write to us in discord. Happy New Year! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2345020/Bee_Island/

• Lightning Update - 27 November 2024

  We are happy to tell you that we have prepared 2 updates for the autumn and winter sales. The update in December will be simply thematic, but the current update has made the game more dynamic! Royal scientists have invented personal weapon sets for bees. So far, these sets are too expensive and bulky, so the Queen has ordered that they be given only to the best bee warrior. It is up to you to decide who is the best! Now the player will have the opportunity to move into bees and control them as combat helicopters with a minigun or as a starship with lasers. Now you can destroy hornets both on the ground and in the air! And so that life does not seem like honey - we inform you that cyclones with lightning and thunderstorms now pass over the waters of the bee island. Lightning periodically strikes the building and sets them on fire. Now the Queen will need more workers to repair them. But…
