About Pollen Run
A real forager bee makes 10-12 foraging trips a day, visiting up to a thousand flowers per trip, while dodging predators, weather, and — increasingly — pesticide drift. Pollen Run turns that obstacle course into an endless flyer: collect pollen from flowers, dodge wasps, rain, and pesticide clouds, and see how far you get before a hazard ends the run.
The hazards aren't decorative — they're modeled on the actual pressures researchers point to when explaining declining bee populations, so a long run in this game maps to a genuinely hard day for a real forager.
