It's snowing, which is something even Sweden wouldn't expect in May.
Uh. Regardless of that though, the game is pretty charming. Very simple and focused, which is good. Looks nice and moves quite smoothly. I have two main gripes. The scrolling is a bit sudden, so I often move too quickly towards the edge only to be surprised by a huge bees in my face. I think the screen should be more centered on the player, although not completely locked. Just give more room at the edges so you can see what's ahead. Secondly, the bees take too many hits before they die. It's more like a boss fight than a normal enemy encounter. Mainly, this discourages new players. After a while I started to doubt if they could actually be killed, but then I did manage to off one. Might be able to use weaker enemies at first, in a different color, then introduce these ones, and maybe even vary their speed to shake things up. Instant death without even an animation is harsh and also a bit discouraging.
