Beehive and honey
The beehive produces honey after you buy a queen and build up enough worker bees. Ready flowers in the Flower Garden determine the honey type. Collect stored honey into inventory, then sell it for coins.
Get a queen and start workers
Section titled “Get a queen and start workers”/beehiveRequires farmer level 7 and an active vote, or 2 total votes for permanent access.

An active vote is a recorded vote less than 12 hours old and gives temporary vote access. Two total recorded votes make that access permanent. The farmer level requirement applies either way.
Open /market, choose Beekeeping, and buy Queen Bee for 500 coins. One queen is enough; the market blocks another purchase when your hive already has one. Return to /beehive to see the queen, workers, honey stock, and production status.
The queen creates one worker every 15 seconds, up to your hive’s worker cap. A new hive holds 20 workers and 10 honey. Honey production starts when there are at least 10 workers; reaching ten takes about 2 minutes 30 seconds from a new queen. The first honey cycle then needs its own production time.
You do not need to keep the hive message open for time to pass. Reopen /beehive or press Refresh to update its stored production.
Honey speed and storage
Section titled “Honey speed and storage”| Worker count | Time per honey |
|---|---|
| Fewer than 10 | No production yet |
| 10–19 | 60 sec |
| 20–29 | 55 sec |
| 30–39 | 50 sec |
| 50–59 | 40 sec |
| 100 | 15 sec |
Every ten workers after the first ten shortens the cycle by five seconds. The new hive reaches its 20-worker cap in about five minutes; its normal full-worker production speed is then one honey every 55 seconds.
Honey stops accumulating when the combined honey stock reaches the hive’s storage cap. The limit covers all colors together, rather than giving each color its own full cap. Waiting longer with a full hive does not bank unlimited honey.
Press Collect Honey to move all stored honey types into /inventory. Collection empties the hive’s honey stock; the queen and workers remain. Honey collection itself does not pay sale coins. Use inventory Sell for the collected honey.
Choose honey with flower pollen
Section titled “Choose honey with flower pollen”Only ready, unharvested flowers provide active pollen. The species with the most ready plots becomes the dominant pollen. Sprouts and harvested flowers do not count.
| Active source | Honey type | Base sale value each |
|---|---|---|
| No ready flowers | Common | 120 coins |
| Daisy | White | 130 coins |
| Sunflower | Yellow | 150 coins |
| Tulip or Hibiscus | Pink | 160 coins |
| Rose | Red | 180 coins |
| Hyacinth | Purple | 220 coins |
Plant the flower you want, wait for it to become ready, and leave enough ready plots unharvested to dominate. Check the pollen status in the garden and hive before collecting. Harvesting the dominant flowers can switch the source to another ready species or return production to common honey.
The hive checks available pollen when its production is updated. Check the hive while your intended ready flowers are still present; do not assume it remembers every flower change while you were away. The flower guide and flower price table help plan the seed cost.
Upgrade the hive
Section titled “Upgrade the hive”Beehive upgrades appear in /upgrades at farmer level 12. They raise worker and honey capacity; upgrades lists prices and full capacity limits.
An upgrade does not instantly create missing workers. The queen fills the new capacity at the same 15-second interval, and honey production speeds up as the colony grows. Review the current confirmation before buying.
If the hive is not producing
Section titled “If the hive is not producing”| Situation | Check or next step |
|---|---|
| Hive locked | Meet level 7, then have an active vote or two total votes |
| No queen | Buy the queen in /market → Beekeeping |
| Workers below 10 | Wait for the queen to create more workers, then refresh |
| Workers present but no honey yet | Wait for a complete honey cycle after reaching ten workers |
| Honey stock at cap | Collect Honey to free storage |
| Wrong honey color | Check which ready flower species has the most plots |
| Coins unchanged after collection | Sell the honey from /inventory |
| Feed control says it is coming later | Feeding is not an active production requirement in this release |
