== Description ==
In a distant future where humanity has vanished, the humble honeybee has evolved into a highly advanced society known as Mellifera. These bees have mastered technology, including space travel, and they now inhabit the Earth. In Apiary, players take control of one of twenty unique factions, each starting with a hive, resources, and worker bees. The game combines worker placement, hive-building, and exploration as players compete to gather resources, develop technologies, and demonstrate their faction's strengths over a year. However, the impending Dearth forces players to make strategic decisions to thrive or merely survive.
