Run the Best Honey Farm in Bottled by Bears
Independent developer Monoii Studio has revealed Bottled By Bears, a cozy idle management game that lets players help a family of bears run a thriving honey farm. The studio plans to launch the game on Steam in 2026 and will release a free demo this June to give players an early preview.
In Bottled By Bears, players actively build their farm by opening “beepacks” to discover different types of bees. Each bee comes with its own rarity and quality, and stronger or shinier bees produce more valuable honey. Players sell this honey to earn money, which they can then use to buy more beepacks and upgrade their farm. This loop keeps the progression steady while rewarding smart management decisions.
The game also encourages players to collect and customize. Players can track down every bee in the catalogue, including rare shiny variants, while shaping their farm’s layout to match their style. The game even allows flowers to grow dynamically based on the bees living in each hive, which means the farm’s appearance evolves alongside the collection.
Players can upgrade hives, improve their selling stands, serve walk-in customers, and fulfill large honey orders to grow their business further. As they progress, they unlock new beepacks and expand their operations.
With its relaxing gameplay, engaging collection system, and creative customization, Bottled By Bears aims to deliver a satisfying idle experience. The upcoming demo in June will offer a closer look before the full release later in 2026.
