I've always found Tafl type games interesting and the mechanics here are really unique.
I'll need to play it myself before judging, but from the sound of things it seems like the game could potentially favor the bees. One idea I had that could boost the wasp side would be that when they're defeated, it could destroy the space they were on, which would both block the bees and be used as an escape path for the wasps.
I'm a bit confused about moving a line of bees. It says:
"Similarly, if a Bee moves and there are other Bees in a line extending from it, every Bee along the axisthat line forms may move together with the initial Bee. There may not be gaps in the line or queue."
Suppose I have a row with 4 bees: [B B B - B].
1) Can I move the 3 adjacent bees? (even though there's a fourth bee on that axis)
2 Can I move just 2 adjacent Bees? (even though there's a third bee next to them)
Yes to both. Thanks for the feedback; it was hard to write the text in a way that'd parse easily. I'll try to adjust the wording to make it clearer; the "every bee along the axis" bit gives a wrong idea.
I think this is great! I think you'd definitely benefit from adding the tag "print-and-play". There's such a big community around that and I bet your game would get even more visibility there!

Ah, neat, so it's basically just "you may move any straight line of bees".

these games are not your style.
Dragging bees around to mess up their tempo is so cooool
We can absolutely recommend this hive :3
