Hatching bees and bonding with them are the main ways of collecting pollen and making money in Bee Swarm Simulator. To get pollen faster and make more honey, you need as many bees as you can, and you can’t get bees without making honey.
How to get Bees in Bee Swarm Simulator
You start Bee Swarm Simulator with a free Basic Egg to place in your Hive. You need to collect pollen by using your shovel on the flower fields. Take that pollen to the Hive and transform it into honey. You need to make 1,000 honey and spend it in the Basic Egg Shop at the entrance of the flower fields, facing the Hives, to buy your first Bee Egg.
As you collect honey, you can spend it to buy a Basic Egg. The price will go up each time you buy from the Basic Egg Shop, capping at 10,000,000 Honey. The Basic Egg will hatch a Basic Bee most of the time, but there is a small chance it will hatch a Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, or Gifted Bee.
There are a total of 46 types of Bees, including the Bear Bee, which is the only Bee you can exclusively get by spending Robux. Aside from the Basic Egg, you can hatch Bees from Silver, Gold, Diamond, Mythic, and Star Eggs. You can get them by completing questlines, getting lucky on a drop from mobs, or buying them with Robux. These eggs will have a higher chance of hatching different Bees with higher stats.
What Bees can do in Bee Swarm Simulator
Bees will follow you around and automatically collect pollen for you when you are in a flower field, but they can do more than that. If you click on the Bee spot in the Hive, you’ll notice there are different stats for Energy, Gathering, Converting, Speed, and Attack.
Once a Bee runs out of energy, it will return to the Hive to sleep, and you’ll have fewer bees collecting pollen for you in the field. Gathering relates to how much pollen a Bee collects in four seconds. Converting equals how much pollen the Bee converts into Honey every four seconds. Speed is how fast the Bee flies, and Attack is how much damage the Bee will do against a mob.
The number of Bees you carry around can also determine the areas you have access to. You need at least five Bees to reach the Panda and its questlines, for example. So the number of Bees is more important than their type, but if you want more than the Basic Bee, you can use Royal Jelly to turn any Bee into a Rare Epic, Legendary, Mythic, or Gifted Bee. There is also a small chance to get a mutated Bee.
