The very basics:

Join the game
Claim your honey pot
Hire miners - bees first!
Bees create honey. Their mining rate is your leaderboard position.

Honey can be burnt for the burn-em-honey pot, or used to buy more bees/sloth.

Hire Sloth miners:
Sloths mine honeycomb; this is your attack/defence.
Attack other players and steal their honey, or attack the boss and earn a share of his pool!
