"It is in the most tiny of places you can find the most unlikely of heroes. They do all the little work which makes for big changes down the line, and they do so without any fanfare or personal gain. For their Queen and the quests they are given, it is a very studious bee who becomes a part of something bigger without even knowing.
In Five Fields, you play as a bee of one of the hives which are on the edge of Bee Ridge, dipping down across the varied environments and flora within to gather pollen for your hive. Though you do not go any which way to get what you need to make honey. No, your Queen is very particular about what kinds of pollen should be brought back, issuing you Quests that will gain your hive more points of favor among the rest. The better you do, the more likely that your hive will be recognized and its products utilized by others. Will you be an Unlikely Hero?"
