Bees turn flower pollen into honey, drop ability tokens, and help your hive handle mobs and long field runs. Rarity and color show where a bee fits, while its base stats, abilities, gifted hive bonus, and route to obtain it help you decide which bees earn a hive slot.

Starter Bee (Common)
The starter bee is colorless and straightforward, giving new hives a reliable base while you learn the pollen and honey loop.
Early Hatch Pool (Rare)
Rare bees are the first normal hatch choices to compare. Their colors, boosts, bombs, speed, and early gifted bonuses can fill a missing job in a mixed hive.
Midgame Hatch Pool (Epic)
Epic bees add stronger colored tools and support effects, so compare the ability token with your field plan instead of chasing rarity alone.
Advanced Hatch Pool (Legendary)
Legendary bees are useful for more focused hive roles, from conversion and critical support to marks, speed, and combat.
Mythic Chase (Mythic)
Mythic bees specialize around balloons, bubbles, flames, marks, targets, or summoned helpers. Their ability loops often decide where they fit better than a single base stat.
Event and Special Unlocks (Event)
Event bees use special routes and bring mechanics that normal hatches do not. Check the route, color, combat role, and gifted bonus before spending scarce tickets or other rewards.
How to compare bees
Rarity is a useful starting point, not a verdict. Common and Rare bees are easier to hatch, while higher rarity bees usually bring more specialized abilities or stronger base stats. Color points toward red, blue, or colorless pollen plans, but mixed hives can still benefit from support bees that create Focus, Haste, marks, bombs, or conversion tokens.
Check energy, speed, attack, pollen, and honey together. Energy decides how long a bee can work before resting, speed affects how quickly it moves and cycles, attack matters against mobs, and pollen and honey show whether it leans toward gathering or conversion. A bee with a lower number in a stat can still be worth keeping when its abilities fill a gap in your hive.
Abilities and gifted bees
Abilities create tokens or field effects that shape how a hive plays. Boosts and bombs improve colored pollen, marks reward you for working near them, and support effects such as Baby Love, Melody, Token Link, bubbles, flames, goo, rain, or balloons can matter more than a plain stat comparison. Read the ability line with the color and your main farming field in mind.
A gifted bee is a stronger state of an existing species, not a separate species to count twice. Its gifted hive bonus applies to the hive while that bee is gifted, so a useful bonus can justify keeping a bee even after its base stats stop looking exciting. Favorite treats help you build bond when feeding, while event bees without a favorite treat use their special unlock routes instead.
Hatching and special unlocks
Royal Jelly and regular eggs cover the normal hatch pool, while Mythic Eggs and rare reward routes are used for the mythic chase. Event bees follow their own paths through tickets, quests, the Wind Shrine, stingers, special eggs, or other event-related rewards, so do not treat them like ordinary Royal Jelly results.
When you have a new slot, compare the job your hive needs before replacing a bee. Keep a color boost for the fields you farm, a support ability you cannot easily replace, or a strong combat effect for mob work. Save Royal Jelly for a real upgrade instead of rolling away a useful ability because another bee has a higher rarity label.
Common mistakes
- Treating rarity as a ranking and ignoring the job a bee performs.
- Building around a color before your equipment and fields support that choice.
- Replacing gifted bees without checking the hive bonus they provide.
- Assuming every event bee comes from the same shop or currency.
- Comparing attack alone when energy, speed, gathering, conversion, and abilities decide the better fit.
FAQ
Should I choose a bee by rarity alone?
No. Compare its color, energy, speed, attack, pollen, honey, abilities, and gifted hive bonus with the job your hive needs. A lower rarity bee can still be the better fit when it supplies a missing boost, mark, bomb, or support effect.
What does a gifted bee do?
Gifted is a stronger state of an existing bee species. It adds that bee's gifted hive bonus, and some bees also gain an enhanced ability, so check the bonus before replacing a gifted bee.
How do I get normal bees?
The normal hatch pool comes from Royal Jelly and non-event eggs. The exact result is random, so use the bee's role and your current hive plan to decide whether a new result is worth keeping.
How are mythic and event bees obtained?
Mythic bees can come from Royal Jelly, Mythic Eggs, and rare reward routes. Event bees use special routes such as tickets, quests, the Wind Shrine, stingers, or event-specific rewards rather than the normal hatch pool.
What do bee colors mean?
Red and blue bees support different colored pollen plans, while colorless bees bring flexible or neutral effects. Color is a guide for hive building, and every hive can choose how strongly to follow that color.
Which base stats matter most?
Energy affects how long a bee works, speed affects movement and cycles, attack helps with mobs, and pollen and honey show gathering and conversion output. Weigh those stats against abilities and gifted bonuses instead of using a single number.
