I am on day 33 and I have only made it down the river once. The determination to get down keeps me going

I can get down the beginner river, but on to the advanced and the bees are getting me before I get there. What's with the nasty bees??? How can I avoid them?

I'm hopeless at this I just burst my bubble straight away ! I must persevere.

Does this really have to do with balance? I can see where we really need to not be bouncing off the walls, but a bee attack?

its about speed, Go fast enough and the bees leave you alone.

I use to lean forward to get good forward speed but found out, after watching my granddaughter, that I can position my feet forward with my toes hanging off the board and get the best forward speed. Near the end, I wait for the first two bees to move and then go forward fast as possible. I have managed to complete the course under one minute five times so far with Wii Fit Plus. I still get hit by bees about 80% of the time.

I was much better at this today, but still no bees, thank God, I'm phobic about them !

BEES???!! oh crap. I think I'll just run into the wall and pop my bubble right away, like I've been doing.....

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's never actually got to the bees.

The general trick with the bees is to watch them carefully. There are two types: straight and circular.

Straight bees wiggle their tails before they sprint along a line and then rest before turning round to go back. Most go across the river, a couple go along, and the one just before the finish line starts to cross, but stops directly in your path.

Circular bees fly in circles, either singly or in a pair.

Either way, they all fly according to a time-based pattern which you can exploit.
