The Birds and the Bees II: Antics is a video game released for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum in 1983.

Boris the Bee has been kidnapped by a group of anti-social ants and his cousin Barnabee must rescue him. The player must travel through an underground ant complex, which has four different entrances into the above-ground world. Ants must be avoided; contact reduces the player's energy level. The game is over when energy reaches zero, but can be replenished by finding pollen from flowers present in the maze.[1]

The general arrangement of the game is a maze; flowers will remove barriers elsewhere in the complex. The individual screens are also self-contained mazes. Each screen may have more than one exit.[1]

Reception

Antics was placed at number 46 in the official top 100 list that was created by British gaming magazine Your Sinclair.
