In July 2004, I was fortunate enough to play the Alternate Reality Game I Love Bees from the very beginning. As I started playing, I realized there was going to be more information than I could possibly keep track of in my head, so I wrote this guide in an effort to document all the information that was discovered. It was written more-or-less in "real time" and thus is a pretty accurate description of how one person (myself) played the game from start to finish.

Below are quick links to each section of the Guide, separated by dates and major update cycles. If you are having trouble using the Guide, please read the Intro as it describes the conventions used in the Guide.
