About I commissioned some bees 0
I Commissioned Some Bees 0 is a hidden‑object game where players search for over a thousand bees hidden inside ten distinct artworks. Each painting is paired with its own music and ambience, giving each level a unique atmosphere while you hunt.
The game offers unlimited hints, a timer, three save slots, and the ability to restore a small number of bees so you can replay a scene. Steam Achievements and Family Sharing are supported, and progress can be reset entirely.
01 / THE GUIDE
Bee Hunting
Players move the view with the mouse or WASD keys and zoom with the mouse wheel or arrow keys. When a bee is clicked it disappears, counting toward the level’s total.
The game contains more than 1,000 bees across ten unique paintings, providing a large amount of searching for each session.
- Zoom in slowly to scan detailed areas where bees may blend with the background.
- Use unlimited hints when you feel stuck to keep momentum.

Artwork Variety
Ten distinct artworks serve as the visual stages, each created by commissioned artists. Every piece has its own music and ambient sounds, adding a unique mood to the search.
The variety of scenes encourages players to adapt their scanning strategies to different visual styles and colour palettes.
- Listen to the ambient track; it can hint at the painting’s theme and guide your focus.
- Compare earlier paintings to later ones to notice recurring hiding spots.

Progress Management
The game saves automatically as you play and offers three separate save slots for replaying without losing progress. A timer records how long each level takes.
You can also reset all progress to start fresh, letting you track improvement or experiment with different difficulty approaches.
- Use separate slots to try both casual and speed‑run styles.
- Check the timer after each level to gauge your efficiency.

Hint System
If a player cannot locate a bee, the game provides an unlimited hint feature that can be accessed at any time.
Because hints are unlimited, they act as a safety net rather than a limited resource, ensuring difficulty spikes do not halt progress.
- Activate a hint early if a particular area feels empty; it can reveal a bee’s location.
- Combine hints with zooming to pinpoint the exact location quickly.

Controls and Accessibility
Movement and zoom can be performed with mouse dragging or the WASD keys, while zooming is also possible with the arrow keys. Keyboard controls for moving and zooming are available for users without a scroll wheel.
Clicking a bee still requires the mouse, but the multiple input methods make navigation approachable for a range of hardware setups.
- If you lack a scroll wheel, rely on the arrow keys for precise zoom control.
- Experiment with both mouse and keyboard to find the most comfortable navigation style.
