	The show began recording in December 2023, with two pilot episodes in the subseries "Season 1: The Best of the 1980s" uploaded unlisted in early 2024, which then released publicly on June 3, 2024. As of December 2025, it is still only halfway through its initial 36-episode season, due to episodes like "[[Metal Gear (Argie Bee Plays episode)\|Metal Gear]]", "[[Final Fantasy (Argie Bee Plays episode)\|Final Fantasy]]", and "[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Argie Bee Plays episode)\|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]" taking too long to record.

	'''''Argie Bee Plays''''' is an Australian Let's Play web series hosted by [[Flye (Vtuber)\|Vtuber Flye]] (an avatar based on the NeonWabbit character [[Flye]]; created and portrayed by [[NeonWabbit\|Darien Brice Dickinson]]).

	The name of the series is derived from combining the abbrievated term for red, green, and blue ("RGB") with bees - two things which have been used in [[Studio RGB-Newt]] branding in the past, and likewise, the bee-inspired phrases "Buzz: On" and "Buzz: Off" cap the beginning and end of each video, respectively.

It is also a reference to the Australian and British slang phrase "argie bargie", which means "argument".
