Busy Bee

This program is called Busy Bee and runs on the Spectrum
16 and 48K. [Oh, no it doesn't! It's small enough to, but
the code is loaded slap bang across the 32768 16K RAMtop.
And at this size, it's hardly surprising that it is not
relocatable, either. Strictly 48K only.] It's a maze type
game where you have to cut the grass on a lawn, avoiding
the bees who are attracted to you because of the lawn mower
noise.
  Upon loading, the game auto-runs and the instructions are
displayed and the keys to be used - cursor keys - then P
must be pressed to play. The screen is set up and you must
move around the flower beds and cut the grass avoiding the
bees who are moving about. When all the grass is cut you
leave the screen via the bottom and then your bonus is
added according to the time you took to clear the grass.
Then you go on to the differently shaped screen 2.
  This carries on with screens 1 and 2 in turn and each
stage the bees are attracted more and more to you until it
is nearly impossible to get away from them. By then all
your lives will have been used up. When all three lives are
used, the game over sign will be displayed and tell you if
it is a new high score.
