The first bees existed around 130 million years ago. As pollinators are fundamental to humanity’s survival and ecosystem’s balance. Yet, now they face extinction due to climate crisis and overtourism. What are the consequences on our ecosystems? In this speculative video game, among multiple characters and agents, a young woman—the Beeseeker—equipped with an ancient magical basket, the Smarologos, embarks on a journey to find the last surviving bee swarm and form an alliance with them. Telling the Bees (The Game) is currently in progress.

The concept of Telling the Bees (The Game) was developed within the framework of Onassis AiR and ONX Residency in 2024.

A teaser of Telling the Bees (The Game) was presented at ONX winter exhibition in February 2025 in New York.
