Move the Bee! 🐝

Bees fly from flower to flower to collect nectar. Let's make a bee move! The Motion blocks are blue.

Moving and turning

when flag clicked
move (50) steps
turn right (15) degrees
move (50) steps

• move (50) steps goes forward. A bigger number = farther.
• turn right (15) degrees turns the sprite a little.

Gliding is smooth ✨

glide moves slowly, like real flying:

when flag clicked
go to x: (-150) y: (0)
glide (2) secs to x: (150) y: (50)
say [Yum, nectar!] for (2) seconds

💡

🧠 x is left ↔ right. y is down ↕ up. The middle of the stage is x: 0, y: 0.

🛠️ Build it!

1. Click the cat and delete it, or keep it as a friend.
2. Click Choose a Sprite 🐱+ and search for a bee (a butterfly or ladybug works too). Add a flower as well, or paint one!
3. Click the bee and build the glide script above.
4. Drag the flower to the right side of the stage.
5. Click the 🟢 flag. Does the bee reach the flower?

⭐ Bonus: add a second glide block so the bee visits two flowers.

🌸 Fun fact

Bees help plants make fruit and seeds by carrying pollen from flower to flower. Many fruits and vegetables need them!
