Another flight game where I can't figure out what to do. Looks similar to Bee-52 by Codemasters and also based on a Children's Literature character.

Released in Computronic 1987/05-06 and created by Holger Reitz.

TRANS:
"Known all over the world on television, Maya the Bee is now humming on the computer screen. Her success seems certain to her once you have seen the game.

Dear Maja this time has the honourable task of feeding an entire colony of bees. Unfortunately, the little bee's job is more demanding than it might sound. Enemies lurk everywhere! In addition, time is running against you. So that your people do not starve, you have to use the joystick.

With the control lever you can now move the bee to the right or left. Maya's flight altitude can be changed by quickly pressing the fire button. You will find that keeping the buzz in the air is no child's play.

Your goal is to get to the only flower with nectar from the hive. Unfortunately, this flower is at the end of the field. On the long way you have to avoid flowers and birds. Every touch costs you a life. You have 5000 time units each for the return trip. So that the busy bee can refuel the nectar, you have to hold a position just above the nectar flower. In the same way, unload the sweet cargo on the basket until the level rises.

Think of your fat friend Willi, who is very hungry!"
