The Birds and the Bees II: Antics was a computer game released for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
Boris the Bee was kidnapped by a group of anti-social ants and his cousin Barnabee must rescue him. The player must travel through an underground ant complex; which has four different entrances into the above-ground world. Ants must be avoided; as they force the player to lose strength. Pollen must be accessed through flowers in order to gain lost strength.
The general arrangement of the game is a maze; flowers will remove barriers elsewhere in the complex. The individual screens are also self-contained mazes. Each screen may have more than one exit.
Critical reaction
Antics was placed at number 46 in the official top 100 list that was created by British gaming magazine Your Sinclair.
