Keep Your Bees Buzzing

Build your reserves of Honey (HXD) by Harvesting. Discover amazing gameplay items by Hunting. Complete Quests to learn the Honeyland story and earn shards. Keep your Bees buzzing to maximize your rewards!

Endurance Stat

Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 Bee's Endurance stat determines which Zone it can reach. Training Bee's reach is determined by the player's XP level. See the chart below for details.

NOTE: Genesis Bees can reach all 8 Zones in Universe one. Landowners can send their Genesis, Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 Bees to their own Lands regardless of the Bee's Endurance stat.

Harvesting

Harvesting is how you earn Honey. Honey is used to play games, buy assets, join events, and much more! Select a Land from the Universe map to see that Land’s details. Need help choosing which Land to Harvest? Sonar Buzz saves you time by identifying optimal Lands for Missions. Depending on its rarity, it will show between 8 and 16 Lands.

Want to Harvest extra Honey? - Keep an eye out for Lands that have an active Paradise Maker as it will increase the Agility stat of your Bee which speeds up your Harvest.

Maximize your earnings - Ready to explore more ways to increase the amount of Honey your Bees will bring back from their missions? Go deeper by visiting mission boosts.

REMINDER - Lands reserves are produced when Honey production is higher than the amount being harvested. This means that Lands with 0 reserves can still be harvested! Bees tend to Harvest faster on Lands that have reserves so be sure to take advantage when you see a Land with reserves.

Send your Bees on lots of Harvesting missions to build your reserves of Honey. Honey opens the door to a wide variety of fun activities.

Training Bees have their own style of game play. See the Training Bee Charts for more details

Hunting

Hunting is how you collect Honeypots. The shards inside can then be redeemed for all sorts of helpful and valuable items. You can use the full items in the game to upgrade your Bees, hatch new Bees, receive mission boosts, and more!

EXAMPLE: Your Bee finishes his Hunt and you open the Honeypot he found. The Honeypot contains ten Shield shards and five Luck Upgrade shards. Those shards are now in your Inventory. Check your Inventory to see if you have enough shards to redeem them for an item!

Watch out for the weather! - Learn more about Land Climates and how they affect what you will receive from your Hunt.

Where should you send your Bees to Hunt? - Sonar Buzz will list some Extreme Lands to Hunt on. Depending on the rarity, it will show 4-12 Extreme Lands and what type of shard is available for that day.

Want extra shards? - Keep an eye out for Lands that have an active Lantern. Lanterns reduce the drop time for Honeypots, meaning a higher output for those Lands with an active Lantern.

Maximize your earnings - Ready to understand how to increase your Bee’s efficiency on their missions? Go deeper by visiting mission boosts.

A single Honeypot can hold hundreds of shards! It’s always a fun surprise to see what your Bee has brought back to the Hive.

 

Fees

Each time you send a Bee to Hunt or Harvest a Land, you pay a commission or entry fee (in Honey) to the Landowner. The fees will be automatically transferred from your in-game account to the Landowner’s in-game account.

Hunting - The entry fee for Hunting is a flat rate paid in Honey for each Bee you send Hunting. The rate is set by the Landowner and can range from 0 to 1 Honey. The default fee is 0.4 Honey.

NOTE: If you remove a Bee from a Hunting mission, you will not receive a refund of the entry fee.

Harvesting - The commission for Harvesting is a percentage of the Honey that each Bee Harvests. The rate is set by the Landowner and can range from 0% to 10%. The default commission 4%.

NOTE: If you remove a Bee from Harvesting before the Bee has finished, you will not receive any of the Honey the Bee has collected.

REMINDER: Hunting and Harvesting fees are automatically transferred from your in-game account to the Landowner’s in-game account.

Hunting and Harvesting Squads

You can organize your Bees into squads based on whatever criteria you wish! Additionally, you can use the "Filter" option to narrow down your list of Bees.

Some ideas for squads:

• Harvesting squad - organize your strongest harvesters in one squad

• Hunting squad - gather up your highest Luck stat Bees

• Zone squad - divide your Bees by the zone they can reach

• Landform speciality squad - put all of your Desert Bees in one squads

• Off Mood squad - Bees that don't match your Queen's mood

• ??? - Whatever you want!

You can create squads using HiveMind or by visiting the My Bees section inside the game. Visit this FAQ for full instructions.

Quests

Each universe has unique Pests who have laid out Quests for you to follow. Explore the history of Honeyland while battling the Pests. Successful Quests will earn you valuable shards!

REMINDER: Quests can only be played with Training Bees. When choosing which Bees to send on Quests, pick the ones that have the same mood as your active Queen. This will give you stat boosts to help you win! Retired Training Bees can still be used for Quests (and PvP). If your retired Training Bees match your Queen's mood, it may be a good idea to wait on converting them so you have them available for Quests and PvP.
