About the game
Pollen Parade is a cozy color-sort puzzle with real flying bees.
Every garden is a picture made of colorful combs. At the bottom, swarms wait in their lanes, each with a color and a number. Tap a swarm and it moves into a free nest. Its bees fly out, collect combs of their color that they can reach from outside the picture and carry them home. When a swarm has its number, its nest is free again.
The order is the puzzle: open the picture from the outside in, keep nests free for the colors you will need, and don't fill every nest with swarms that cannot reach their color.
1000 gardens, from a sunflower to a 3D orange and a ladybug you can turn, and glowing neon gardens. Later gardens bring key combs that open locked lanes, wax caps that hide part of the picture until you harvest the golden drop, honey-coated combs, wasps, two-color swarms and twin swarms – plus stinger flights, comb building and a big scene at the end of every chapter.
Helpers for tricky moments: an extra nest, a free choice of swarm, the row sweep that clears a whole row and the Queen bee. Win gardens to earn pollen and grow your hive with talents. No timer – play at your own pace.

How to play
Every garden is a picture made of colorful combs. At the bottom, swarms wait in their lanes (three to five). Each swarm has a color and a number: that many combs of its color it will collect.
Tap the front swarm of a lane. It moves into a free nest, and its bees fly out. They only reach combs that touch the outside of the picture through empty space. When a swarm has its number, its nest is free for the next one.
The order is the puzzle. Open the picture from the outside in and keep nests free for colors you will need. If every nest holds a swarm that cannot reach its color, the garden is blocked. In each garden you can then continue once with honey and once with a video. If it blocks again, the garden is lost – from garden 11 on, that costs a life.
Later gardens bring new things: key combs, wax caps, honey coats, wasps, two-color and twin swarms, 3D gardens, stinger flights and comb building. Each one is explained the first time you meet it – and in the garden any time under “?”.
Tips
- Brighter combs can be reached right now; darker combs are still enclosed.
- Look at the waiting swarms behind the front one before you start a swarm whose color is still inside the picture.
- Keep at least one nest free for the color that opens the way inward. Twin swarms fly out together, each into its own nest – they need two free nests at once.
- Keys, golden drops and wasps sit on a block of three combs with one picture. Harvest all three: the key opens a locked lane, the drop opens the wax caps, the wasps leave.
- Honey coat: honey covers the top half of a comb. Bees in the honey’s color take it first (golden honey = yellow, creamy honey = white), then the comb itself.
- From garden 101 on, wasps take the nests from your talent “Hive space”. Harvest their three wasp combs and they fly away – with the talent “Wasp scare” you can also tap them away.
- Stinger flight: tap a bee – it flies around the garden and stings every comb of its color it sees; bees with stingers left wait in the waiting combs. Comb building: your bees build the hidden picture from the start comb outward.
- In 3D gardens, drag to turn the picture; bees fly to the combs they can see. The capped honey inside opens when you harvest the golden drop. Every chapter ends with a big board: a whole scene with four lanes.

Questions & answers
Is the game free?
Yes. You earn honey by winning gardens. Helpers and lives can be bought with honey. Optional purchases, if offered, always show price and content first.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, on your device. With a free ARI GG ATO account it is also saved on the server, so you can continue on every device.
What happens when I lose a garden?
If every nest is blocked, you can continue once with honey and once with a video in each garden. If it blocks again, the garden is lost. From garden 11 on, a lost garden costs a life – and so does giving up or restarting once a swarm has started. Lives come back over time. The first ten gardens are practice and cost no lives. With the talent “Shield comb”, a lost garden costs no life up to three times a day.
Can I replay a garden?
Yes. Under Gardens you can replay every garden you have finished, without using lives.
