There are two main types of Bees in the Honeyverse: Queen Bees and male Bees.
Bees can be earned through game play and by purchasing them from other players via the in-game Marketplace.
Queen Bee
The Queen Bee is necessary for Breeding. If you plan to Breed your Queen, her level is very important as the level of a Queen tells you how many upgrade slots she will pass to her offspring. Queens start at level 10 and can be upgraded to level 20. It's very common for players to upgrade their Queen to level 20 before starting to Breed her. Learn more about upgrading here.
You receive significant boosts when your Queen's mood matches the mood of the Bees you send on missions. Most players will acquire Bees that match their strongest Queen's mood to take advantage of these boosts for their Hunting and Harvesting missions.
If your Bee's like matches your Queen's like, it offers a PvP mission boost.
Queen Bees are also necessary in order to explore new universes. Players must have a Queen Bee from the universe they wish to explore in order to play and earn in that universe. Genesis Queen Bees will be able to explore all universes, regardless of which universe they are from.
Male Bee
Each player will have a colony of male Bees that go out on Harvesting missions to bring back Honey and Hunting missions to bring back Honeypots (filled with shards) which allow you to progress in the game. They can also participate in Player vs. Player (PvP), Quests, and other activities in Honeyland. Players are encouraged to grow and upgrade their colony of Bees over time to perform more missions and earn more game rewards.
Five different kinds of Queens and Bees
There are five different kinds of Queens and Bees: Genesis, Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, and Training. See the chart below for full details on the differences between them.
Ready to grow your Swarm? A larger Swarm gives you more options to send on Missions meaning more chances to secure mission boosts. Add to your Swarm by Breeding new Bees, buying Bees, and redeeming Bee Egg shards.
NOTE: Genesis Bees cannot be created by gameplay. You can purchase them from other players by visiting the in-game Marketplace.
