Product Description:

A worker bee, she awakens with the hive early every morning, has a quick breakfast of Bee Bread, then makes her long commute foraging for nectar and pollen. No time to stop and admire the flowers that she visits, she must collect, then move on. Return to the hive to deposit her goods, then back out to do it all over again, ten times a day!


Honey Bees are recognized in many cultures around the world as important icons. Used to symbolize everything from Gods, Goddesses, and Royalty, to wholesomeness, and purity. Products from Bees, such as Honey, and Bees Wax, have been used by humans since the time of recorded history.


HoneyBeez puts these magnificent insects to work right on your own Mac screen. And, they won't sting; even if you don't register! Although they would prefer it if you do.


Options include the number of bees, scale, and speed. You may use HoneyBeez for FREE, but if you register for $5.00, you also get additional features such as, "View Desktop" mode, custom background color, and background image.

HoneyBeez Screensaver ReviewDeveloper needs to learn OpenGL - Version: 1.0.2, 6/4/2004 04:46AM PST

Yet again this developer releases another substandard screensaver with pre-rendered sprites that have only two frames of animation. This was probably thrilling back in the Mac OS 8 days, but screensavers like this beg for realtime OpenGL rendering. Very dull, very boring.

HoneyBeez Screensaver Commentaryperhaps combine with other items - Version: 1.0.1, 5/13/2004 02:17PM PST

I have to agree that $5 is a bit much for this, whereas a real hive simulator would be very cool.

Perhaps this could be combined with Butterflyz (it looks like basically the same code with a change in the images) and maybe some birds and other flying things. Then might be worth $5.

Works fine as a freebie though.
