- Oh now that's just frustrating!

Path

(Sea_of_Azov ➡️ Nelumbo ➡️ Pollinator ➡️ Bumblebee)

Notes

The link "Nelumbo" showed up as "sacred lily" in the flora section of "Sea of Azov". I nearly added an unnecessary step by clicking "bee" after going to "pollinator", but scrolling down revealed "bumblebee" as an option.

- Oh that's a clever approach you were trying to take there. Shame it took so long to actually work.
  
  I can't see the path they took, sadly.
- I agree with Zagorath, I like the cleverness of the path you took. I found a way to cut two steps off of that route:

  Sea of Azov ➡️ Bumblebee ⏰ 01:32 🦶7 (Sea_of_Azov ➡️ Greek_colonization ➡️ Latin_alphabet ➡️ B ➡️ B_(disambiguation) ➡️ Bee_(disambiguation) ➡️ Bee ➡️ Bumblebee)
  
  Notes
  
  Instead of having to make the transition between "Beta" and "B", you can go to "Latin_Alphabet" directly from "Greek_colonization". And once you've gotten to "Bee_(disambiguation)" you can go straight to "Bee" from the first link on that page.
  
  I like following other routes after I've submitted my own. I think it's useful to see what leaps someone else makes, and to learn from someone else's approach to a problem.
  
  Thanks for sharing, so I could also learn!

- Commentary
  
  I like that path, it seems like it would be better at more universal applications. It's a good approach that probably relies less on luck.
