The honey bee seems to be an odd theme for online slots. But software providers have created slots machines depicting the industrious but quaint life in the bee hive and this article reviews some of these games.

Honey to the Bee is a slot game from the software provider Realtime Gaming. Plenty of honeycomb type cells can be seen all over the screen. Honey to the Bee has a unique feature. Whenever there is a winning combination on the reels a swarm of bees can be seen flying in the background. The thematic symbols are queen bee, sunflower, honey jar and ladybird. The high value card symbols have a honeycomb background a bee flying around them. The worker bee is the wild symbol. It appears only on the first four reels and doubles payouts when participating in winning combinations. The hive is the scatter symbol and offers scatter payouts. When the worker bee appears on reel 1 and the hive appears on reel 5, the player is awarded 15 free spins at doubled payouts. Honey to the Bee is a Real Series slot game from Realtime Gaming and therefore offers a randomly triggered progressive jackpot.

Microgaming offers a honey bee themed online slot game titled Pollen Nation. The reference to pollination, which the bees inadvertently engage in, is obvious. Pollen Nation is the realm of the queen bee as shown in the introductory clip. There are plenty of bees as symbols on the reels. The majestic queen bee is the wild symbol and also offers the highest line payout. The drone bee with the sting exposed is the scatter symbol. The baby bee suckling a bottle of honey is the bonus symbol. The other bees include the stern looking guard, the nurse and the worker bee carrying honey, nectar and the bee post. The high value card symbols have been replaced by the products of the hive and include honey, honeycomb, jelly, pollen puffs and bees wax. The bonus game is triggered when three or more bonus symbols appear on the reels. Thirty honey cells are displayed on the second screen. Players keep choosing honey cells to reveal bonus prize amounts, until a Stop Honey Cell message is revealed.

The best honey bee themed online slot game is Bee Land from Top Game. It was released only last year and its technical excellence is apparent. As is the practice with Top Game, there is a comic touch to the symbols. The crown is the wild symbol. When it substitutes in winning combinations then the queen bee appears on her throne with two drones in attendance. The hive has a TV dish and windows. The symbols include sunflower, lamp, traffic signal and bees as guitarist, artist, dancer, policeman and janitor. The honey maker activates the free spins. Players are awarded 12 free spins. Three honey maker symbols offer a 3x multiplier, four symbols offer a 5x multiplier and five symbols offer a 10x multiplier. The Honey Queen Bonus is a three stage bonus game. In the first stage the player picks a flower and the bee collects pollen from it. The bee then takes the pollen to one of the three honey makers chosen by the player and converts it to honey. The bee finally takes the honey to the queen bee in a hive chosen by the player. In each stage the player gets bonus credits. However, if the player selects a booby trap the bonus game will be aborted prematurely.
