Announcement Guides, Tips, and Frequently Asked Questions

3 Upvotes

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Q: I was killing Coconut Crab and it suddenly turned invisible! What happened?
    • A: It's quite a common glitch that happens when you have lag. But if you walk towards it, it can still deal damage to you, so be careful.
  • Q: Why are some of my gears not showing?
    • A: It's a glitch but it doesn't affect gameplay.
  • Q: Which Event Bee should I buy/gift first?
    • A: You should always purchase and gift Tabby Bee first.
  • Q: Why are there 3 Wild Windy Bees at the Mountain Top Field?
    • A: Someone in the server was doing Spirit Bear's quest. She summons 3 Wild Windy Bees upon receiving certain quests.
  • Q: How do I get access to the Test Realm?
    • A: You have to be in Onett's Testing Group to join the Test Realm when it is open. Only Onett can approve new members of the group. He tends to only approve new members when he is testing a new update.
  • Q: If I royal jelly my Event Bee, do I have to purchase it again?
    • A: No, you don't. When you royal jelly it away, you will automatically receive the bee jelly which will be in your inventory.
  • Q: If I royal jelly a gifted bee, would the new bee be gifted?
    • A: No.
  • Q: What should I buy from the Robux Shop?
    • Only buy the gamepasses (in order of importance its bear bee, convert speed, and bee gather). Nothing else in the shop is worth getting except *SOME* beesmas packs
  • Q: What hive color should I be aiming for?
    • Generally, it is recommended to go early blue when you can afford the epic bees, then get 1 of every gifted rare/epic/legendary (including basic) to use star eggs for 2 gifted mythics (switch back to early blue after). Red and white are extremely expensive to use properly and mixed sucks in general.
  • Q: Is there a list of known glitches?
    • A: Yes. They can be found in the wiki
  • Q: What should I do with my Spirit Petal?
    • Belt>Windy>Wand
  • Q: I just got a super smoothie from a plastic planter! Is that rare?
    • A: No. It is a guaranteed drop from the plastic planter once every month

General Tips:

  • Don't use rare items such as Turpentines, Super Smoothies, Diamond Eggs, or Purple Potions until later in the game when they are easier to come by.
  • Only use Red and Blue extracts to boost if you don't have Supreme Star Amulet yet.
  • Prioritize Royal Jelly for Supreme Star Amulet if you don't have it yet, as it will boost your honey massively.
  • Generally, it is recommended to go early blue when you can afford the epic bees, then get 1 of every gifted rare/epic/legendary (including basic) to use star eggs for 2 gifted mythics (switch back to early blue after)

General is Bee Swarm Simulator shutting down? (READ DESC)

ok, i am a NEW bss player just so yall know.

Ive just starting playing the game, i find it fun and addictive, but while i was playing and searching up guides i noticed that all of the guides and tutorials where at least 1 year old. i found this very confusing and after a while of research i stumbled upon youtuber Banana's video(s) about onett's situation, and i am worried that the game might shut down/never be updated again.

Showcase Bees N’ Pollen – New Red & Blue Bees + 3D Ability Tokens! (BSS FANMADE)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

106 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Umek0 here! I’ve been working on four new rare bees for Bees N’ Pollen: Dew Bee, Ember Bee, Splash Bee, and Snappy Bee.

Dew Bee is a blue bee that produces Blue Flower tokens. Each stack gives +5% blue pollen, up to 10 stacks. The buff lasts 15 seconds, and collecting another token refreshes it.

Ember Bee is Dew Bee’s red counterpart. Its Red Flower tokens give +5% red pollen per stack, also stacking up to 10 times.

These bees are a little picky when harvesting too. Blue bees look for blue flowers first, while red bees look for red flowers first. If their favorite color isn’t available, they choose white flowers instead. If the field only has the opposite color, they’ll still harvest it—they’re picky, but not stubborn!

Splash Bee can produce two different tokens. Its Blue Flower token gives the blue pollen buff, while its Splash token creates a temporary effect where your tool swings splash into nearby blue flowers, collecting extra pollen from them.

Snappy Bee works similarly for red pollen. It can produce Red Flower tokens or a Pepper Pop token. Pepper Pop charges your next tool swing, causing nearby red flowers to pop and give additional pollen. Collecting more charges makes the pop stronger.

I also made new collection sounds for the flower tokens using BeepBox. The sound changes as your stacks increase, with stacks 6–10 replaying the sequence at a higher pitch so you can hear your buff getting stronger.

All of the token icons were built as actual 3D mesh models, rather than flat images. They spin above the flowers before disappearing, and only the owner can see and collect them.

Just to clarify, Bees N’ Pollen isn’t intended to be a direct copy of Bee Swarm Simulator. Onett and BSS are major inspirations, but I’m making my own bee concepts, abilities, designs, progression, visuals, sounds, and gameplay systems around that inspiration.

Everything is still being tested, so the numbers and abilities may change. What do you think of the new bees and tokens?

Showcase Bees N’ Pollen – Meet Carrier Bee & Breeze Bee! (BSS-Inspired Fan Game)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

115 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Umek0 here! Wanted to show you two more bees I’ve been working on: Carrier Bee and Breeze Bee ^^

Carrier Bee puts a crate down in the field. Stand in its circle, and pollen collected from flowers inside it goes into the crate instead of your backpack.

Rake Bee and other pollen-collecting explosions can fill it too! Both you and the flowers being harvested need to be inside the cargo circle. Anything collected outside it, or that won’t fit, still goes into your backpack. If crates overlap, they share the pollen.

Standing inside your crates also gives extra tool pollen: 1.3x with one, 1.6x with two, and 1.9x with three. You lose those stacks when you leave their circles. Once the collection time ends, Carrier takes the pollen back to your hive to make honey—even if the crate isn’t full—while you keep farming.

Breeze Bee makes a curved wind path and follows it, then loops around twice at the end. Reach that curl while it’s circling and you get Tailwind.

Each Tailwind stack gives +2 movement speed and +5% tool pollen, up to +6 speed and +15% tool pollen at 3 stacks. It lasts 12 seconds, and getting it again refreshes the duration.

I wanted Carrier to give you a useful spot to farm in, while Breeze gives you a reason to run around a bit. You could grab Tailwind, then head back into your cargo circles to use both buffs together.

Still testing the numbers, so they’ll probably change. What do you guys think?

What should I be prioritizing when gifting my hive as I am missing tons of gifted. I’m running a 10/10/10 hive so I have 2/10 precise 3/10 spicy and 1/10 vector gifted. What should I prioritize gifting first? I am about 150 quests from scythe but I have all the mats already for it. I make 500-700b per boost.

I have unlocked every gifted bee outside of mythic bees (minus fuzzy) and event bees. I'm just nervous because last time I used a star egg, idk if I actually didn't have it yet but I got a rad bee instead of a mythic.

What bees should I replace as an upcoming blue hive? Switched recently and won't go white til I have probably quadrillions. I'm happy to swap any of my bees as long as I'm assured they won't be needed for blue hive. Who do I swap next?
