Fly, land and wander
Bees enter from different screen edges, fly into position, land, then transition into slower crawling and wandering behavior.
Windows Screensaver • Version 0.12.2
HighCloud Bee Flight
Turn your Windows desktop into a living bee playground. Bees fly in from the edges, flap their wings, land, wander and crawl across the screen—now with optional honey trails, image-reveal effects, user-managed backgrounds and adjustable mouse interaction.
More than bees sliding across a screen.
Bee Flight combines animated bee behavior with customizable backgrounds, trail effects and interaction controls so the screensaver can stay subtle—or get gloriously out of hand.
Visible wing animation
Animated sprite frames and a dedicated wing-flap pass make the bees visibly flap instead of simply drifting across the screen.
Optional mouse reaction
Choose whether touching a bee with the cursor makes it spin, fall and disappear—or turn that reaction off and leave the bees alone.
Honey Trail
Bees can leave a light, translucent golden honey trail close to their path. The honey builds up as they move and can gradually cover the screen.
Image Reveal
Instead of painting honey, crawling bee trails can gradually reveal a selected image underneath until the screen is uncovered along their paths.
Transparent mode
Keep the live Windows desktop and open windows visible while the bees move across the top of the screen.
Background mode
Use a selected image behind the bees and display it using Fill, Fit, Stretch or Center modes.
Your saved image library
Add the images you actually want to use and manage them yourself. Bee Flight no longer depends on a bundled set of preloaded backgrounds.
Extensive controls
Adjust bee count, choose from 12 speed levels, scale bees from 40% to 300%, and fine-tune trail coverage from narrow paths to broad coverage.
Version 0.12.2
More control over the bees—and what they leave behind.
The current release adds the trail and image systems, improves background management, and packages Bee Flight as a cleaner public Windows release.
Trail Effects
Choose exactly what the bees paint across the screen while they crawl.
- Trail Effect choices: Off, Honey Trail or Image Reveal
- Honey uses a light, transparent golden appearance
- Trail stays close to the bee path instead of forming a large halo around the bee
- Trail Width / Coverage can be adjusted from 18 to 160 px
- Honey Trail can build up until the screen is covered
Image Reveal
Turn the bee paths themselves into a moving reveal effect.
- Select an image specifically for Image Reveal
- Use Fill, Fit, Stretch or Center display modes
- In Transparent mode, the image begins hidden over the live desktop
- Bee paths gradually reveal the selected image underneath
- Image Reveal controls stay separate from the normal Background image controls
Background & Image Management
The two image systems now have distinct jobs instead of looking like duplicate background selectors.
- Screen Appearance chooses Transparent or Background mode
- Background mode uses the normal chosen background image
- Image Reveal image settings only apply when Image Reveal is selected
- Add and manage your own saved images
- No required preloaded background collection
Mouse Behavior
The classic cursor reaction is now your choice instead of being forced on every user.
- Toggle: “Spin and kill bee when cursor touches it”
- When enabled, cursor contact makes the bee spin, fall and disappear
- When disabled, moving over a bee does not kill it
- Normal screensaver exit controls remain available
Self-Installing Windows Release
Bee Flight is packaged as a normal public-facing Windows installer rather than a pile of development files.
- Self-installs the screensaver and required application files
- Uses Bee Flight artwork/icons for the application and installer
- Preserves settings and the saved image library during upgrades
- Uninstall can remove Bee Flight and optionally clean up saved data
- Customer-facing release text avoids internal build/test wording
Core Bee Controls
All of the original swarm controls are still here alongside the newer effects.
- 3 to 60 bees on screen
- 12 speed levels from Ultra Slow to Maximum
- Bee size from 40% to 300%
- Animated flight, landing, crawling and wing movement
- Preview settings before saving them
Make it subtle—or completely ridiculous.
A few normal-sized bees moving slowly across a transparent desktop can stay understated. Or turn the swarm up, make the bees huge, enable honey coverage, and let them slowly paint the whole screen. Your desktop, your level of bee nonsense.
