The Birds and the Bees II: Antics was a computer game released for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
Boris the Bee was kidnapped by a group of anti-social ants and his cousin Barnabee must rescue him.[1] The player must travel through an underground ant complex; which has four different entrances into the above-ground world.[1] Ants must be avoided; as they force the player to lose strength.[1] Pollen must be accessed through flowers in order to gain lost strength.[1]
The general arrangement of the game is a maze; flowers will remove barriers elsewhere in the complex.[1] The individual screens are also self-contained mazes.[1] Each screen may have more than one exit.[1]
