	During the game, you will collect basic resources (pollen, fiber, water) and valuable resources (wax, honey). These are stored in your hive, but storage capacity is limited and only certain types can be stored in certain places. BGA will auto-arrange resources for you when they are gained, but if you are over capacity, you will have to choose what is discarded. For each resource discarded, you gain 1 Queen's Favor.

	Some effects let passive players gain something out of turn (for example, a resource or an optional move on the Queens Favor track); these benefits occur at the start of that player's turn (instead of immediately). Also, if a worker is bumped (and does not hibernate), the bumped player can decide to add the worker to their active pool or landing area at the start of their next turn. This helps speed up play as there is less turn switching. It also allows the active player to undo moves that provide passive effects.
