Take Flight, Little Bee

Imagine you are small, almost defenseless and endangered. This is the life of wild bees.

In Take Flight, Little Bee you try to survive long enough to  reach a place of comfort so that you can breed and pass on your legacy. What will happen to you, until you reach that point?

To play you need a d6, a d4, a d3 (or your d6 halved and rounded up) and something to write. You can choose the Bee sheet, provided as a separate file, but it is not necessary.  It just helps you keep track your stats and to visualise your bee.
You can play it solo, co-op or with a GM. As a short session or as a daily journaling experience.

Example of play: The Life of Andi the Andrena Angilissima.
Andi was on the search for pollen, but most flowers around were scorched by the glazing sun in the 40°C heat.  He endured, lowering his Food from 5 to 2.
When the temperatures regulated a bit, humans moved in closer. They started to take down trees, moving in on Andi's home. He fled, taking his Flight from 3 to 2.
Andi found a new home in a swampy area. It kept raining and the fight against the weather made survival difficult. But he was keen to make a new home. He endured, taking his Health from 3 to 1.
The rain died down enough to survive, but it left the fields flooded. The flora Andi relied on to live was dying. He saw no hope here, despite all his efforts. He fled, taking his Flight down to 1.
Andi was looking for a new home, buzzing for days. When tried to catch his breath for a moment, he heard the shriek of a shrike. Knowing that these birds are relentless and love to toy with their prey, Andi used his last energy to flee, leaving him with no Flight.
As he had no energy to fly much more, Andi decided to stay near a residential area. He thought humans might care for their flowers. And while he is right, these flowers were no use to him. The current trend in this neighborhood seemed to be cacti. He can do nothing but hope to endure, taking his Food down to 2.
The fad of cacti faded, and proper flowers took their place. But while going on the hunt for hive materials, Andi landed in something sticky. Desperately trying to get out, the floor seems to move. He now noticed that he landed in a net, and something approached fast. A crab spider. Andi couldn't flee, he tried to endure. He stood no chance. The spider killed him.
Andi had a long and difficult life. Right before his deserved retirement, he fell prey to a vicious spider. May he rest in peace.
