For the occasion, we shared more about the game on our socials, as well as some redesign work-in-progress sneak peeks!

checklist tracker & guide spreadsheet for APICO! Its truly an amazing resource, and includes the Ocean Update (3.0) new content.

Thank you so much DeluxeGremlin for this!

APICO Community Spotlight
Fellow beekeeper Hazel shared this screenshot of her base in our
community discord! Between the rainbow hive garden and the Mothense concert for the NPCs, its a dream place to bee. If you want to share youre own cute pics you should come join us!

In other APICO news, the lovely Chelsea, that you may know as myPotatoGames on Twitter, wrote a
very wholesome review of our beekeeping sim! Its always heartwarming to hear such nice feedback <3

Beemoji Mashup!
Last month, our discord bot beebot started sharing a beemoji mashup everyday, and that gave us an idea: what if you could make your own mashup, and beebot could send it to the server?

You can now submit your mashup by
filling this form, and itll get added to the bots daily posts! :D

Take care!
Manon, Ell and Jamie

About UsAPICO is being created by two brothers, Elliott & Jamie, inspired by their love of old Minecraft mods, casual, and crafting games. They wanted to make something relaxing, intriguing, and semi-educational (just don't think about the Water Bees). Elliott builds nice things and Jamie makes sure he breaks them.
Save The BeesBees are integral to our gameplay, as they are to our real-world ecosystem. We want to promote bee conservation and will be donating a portion of sales towards national and international beekeeping charities.
