In a distant future, humans no longer inhabit Earth. The reason for their disappearance (or perhaps their downfall) is unknown, but their absence left a void ready to be filled by another intelligent species.
Over countless generations, a species of humble honeybees evolved to fill that void. They grew in size and intelligence to become a highly advanced society. They call themselves Mellifera, and besides the technology they inherited from human ruins, they have made significant technological advancements, including space travel.
In Apiary, each player controls one of twenty unique factions. Your faction starts the game with a hive, some resources, and worker bees. A challenge of placing workers and building the hive awaits you: explore planets, gather resources, develop technologies, and make cuts to showcase your faction's strengths (measured in points) over a year of Flow. But Death approaches quickly, and your workers can only perform a few actions before they must go into hibernation! Can you thrive or merely survive?
