Introduction:
Fulfill your apian fantasies with Bee Simulator! Bee-come Beescuit, one bee of a colony settled in a tree in the middle of a zoo. When the colony's hive is endangered by humans, it's up to Beescuit to balance finding her colony a new home with her day to day activities.
Currently the only way to obtain this platinum is to play on version 1.00 at least until you've unlocked Lord Of The Flies


Tips and Tricks:
Turn down the sensitivity! The default controller sensitivity is, I found, still far too sensitive. If you turn it down a few notches, you'll find you'll have an easier time with the races.
The game tracks trophy progress! Periodically you will see indicators on the right side of the screen when you've hit a numerical milestone, but you can see this and more at any time by going to the pause menu, then accessing Extras - Archive - Feats, and you'll be able to see what you've unlocked, what you haven't, and exactly how many of what you still have left to do.
Fast travel is also accessed by the pause menu. The game never actually tells you this. Use it.
Trophy progress carries over between save slots. You will be using this to your advantage with Gotta Catch 'Em All

Not all of the challenges and side-quests spawn at once. This is especially important to remember for the challenges. If you can't find any, fast travel to areas you've already cleared; you'll likely find something new. There's also a challenge workaround; see I Won't Do This?

Walkthrough:
Step 1: Play through the story mode, specifically on Save Slot 1, collecting and delivering pollen when you can, unlocking the two missable trophies on the way
Simply play through the story. Keep in mind that the chapter names will be given once you've cleared the chapters, not once you start them! Make sure you unlock the two missable trophies - one beginning in Chapter 3: Winter is Coming (you have until the end of Chapter 6 to unlock it), and one in a very short window of time at the very beginning of Chapter 7: Exodus (watch for the scene where the hive is shaking; that's the end of Chapter 6). If you don't unlock those two trophies, you'll need to start a new game.
The most important thing to remember for your playthrough: Don't purchase any statues. You will be required to purchase one during the story; after that, don't purchase any. To get Gotta Catch 'Em All

Collect and deliver pollen between story missions to lessen the grind post-game. I recommend saving challenges and side-quests for post-game, but it won't hurt your progress if you do them during the story mode.

Step 2: Side-quests, Miscellaneous Trophies, and Pollen Collection.
Now is the time to do whatever side-quests you didn't do during your story playthrough. Side-quests are marked by white pillars of light. Also use this time to unlock all of the random miscellaneous trophies. Finally, finish your pollen collection. It may seem early to grind that trophy out now, but due to the way the save file trick works, you don't want to mess up the pollen tracker, so get it out of the way now.

Step 3: Challenges
Now is the time to tackle the challenges. Thankfully the challenge counters are pretty solid; if any are going to glitch on you, it will be the bully challenges, so get those done first. I do recommend backing up your save prior to starting the challenges, so you have a clean save to go back to in case something happens.
There's an interesting counter glitch that you can use to your benefit near the end; see I Won't Do This?
