Bee Swarm Simulator Guide: Your first five minutes
About
OverviewBee Swarm Simulator is a Roblox game where you build a hive of bees, collect pollen from flower fields, and convert it into honey. That honey buys better tools, bags, and eggs, which lets you reach new areas and take on tougher monsters. This guide covers everything you need to go from your first hive slot to unlocking advanced shops and earning badges.

Bag upgrades to pair with your tools
Tips
The Noob Shop sells the Jar (750 pollen capacity, 650 honey) and Backpack (3,500 pollen, 5,500 honey). The Pro Shop continues the line up through the Port-O-Hive at 1,250,000 honey, which also adds a 5% instant conversion bonus on top of raw capacity.
- Start with the Jar — it costs only 650 honey.
- Grab the Backpack next for 5,500 honey.
- The Canister (22,000 honey) and Mega-Jug (50,000 honey) both add a convert rate bonus on top of capacity.
- The Port-O-Hive adds a 5% instant conversion bonus, meaning some pollen converts to honey automatically without a hive trip.
- Blue Port-O-Hive and Red Port-O-Hive from their respective HQ shops each add colour-specific pollen and attack bonuses on top of capacity.
Opening the bee-count gates
CheckEggs get more expensive each time you buy the same type, so quest-reward eggs are especially valuable.
- Use quest-reward eggs to fill hive slots rather than buying new eggs whenever possible.
- Royal Jelly changes one existing bee into a random new type it does not add a bee.
Bear quests and why they matter
TableQuest rewards range from honey and eggs to tickets, royal jellies, and rare crafting materials. Science Bear's translator questline and Spirit Bear's questline must both be finished to unlock certain later content, making them the only quests that are strictly required for progression.
| Black Bear | pollen collection quests that scale up to Gold Egg and Diamond Egg rewards as you progress. |
| Panda Bear | combat-focused quests past the 5-bee gate. |
| Science Bear | variety quests covering bee discovery, goo, and ability tokens. |
Badges, tickets, and locked areas
SummaryEvery non-event badge announces itself to the whole server when you earn it. Higher ranks overwrite the boost from lower ranks in the same category rather than stacking. Event badges do not give tickets or boosts, but Beesmas badges unlock two special masks with their own bonuses.
- Tickets earned Cadet pays 5, Hotshot pays 10, Ace pays 15, Master pays 25, Grandmaster pays 40.
- Honey badges reward a convert rate boost; ranks at 1M, 10M, 100M, 1B, and 20B honey collected.
- Field badges each flower field has its own badge line starting at 250,000 pollen; different fields give different stat bonuses (capacity, conversion speed, pollen colour bonuses).
- Battle badges reward critical power; ranks at 100, 1,000, 10,000, 50,000, and 500,000 battle points.
- Goo Hotshot badge required to enter Gummy Bear's Lair (needs 5,000,000 goo collected).
- 15 badges of any rank required to enter the Badge Bearer's Guild, which sells sprinklers and houses the Blender; one Ace badge then unlocks the inner room with the Honey Mask and high-tier guards.
Gifted bees and where to spend tickets
Tips
A Gifted bee's Hive Bonus applies to your entire hive, but owning two Gifted bees of the same species does not double the bonus. Star Treat is the only item that guarantees a Gifted result. Royal Jelly randomises the species of one existing bee — it does not increase your bee count.
- Save Gold Eggs — five are needed to craft the Honey Mask at the Badge Bearer's Guild.
- Save Diamond Eggs — five are needed to craft the Diamond Mask.
Fighting monsters
WarnYour bees deal the damage automatically; your job is to stay alive and position yourself well.
Mutations
TipsA mutated bee shows a different-coloured level number in its hive slot. Feeding a bee a Bitterberry gives a 1-in-1,000 chance of triggering a mutation. If the bee is already radioactive, that chance jumps to 1-in-100. Atomic Treats guarantee a mutation outright. Using a Royal Jelly or egg on a mutated bee almost always removes the mutation, just as it strips Gifted status.
- Radioactive bees spread radiation to neighbouring hive slots, which raises mutation odds for adjacent bees as well.
- Higher-level bees can receive stronger mutation values.
- Percentage mutations multiply the bee's base stat after all other modifiers; flat number mutations add to the base before multiplicative bonuses apply.
- Equipping a Beequip unequips automatically when a mutation triggers, so re-equip it manually afterward.
- Royal Jellies and Star Jellies also have a small chance (1-in-5,000, or 1-in-100 if the bee is radioactive) to trigger a mutation on their own.

- Gifted Bee
- A bee in a special glowing state that grants a Hive Bonus to every bee in your hive on top of its own stats.

Common questions
FAQShould I spend Gold Eggs or Diamond Eggs right away?
Hold onto both. Five Gold Eggs are required to craft the Honey Mask at the Badge Bearer's Guild, and five Diamond Eggs are required for the Diamond Mask.
My bees keep going back to the hive to sleep — is something broken?
That is normal. Bees have an energy stat and return to the hive to rest when it runs out, then come back to you automatically once they have recovered.
Can I undo a Royal Jelly if I do not like the result?
There is no undo. You can use another Royal Jelly or egg on the same slot to reroll again, but there is no guarantee you will get a specific bee back.
How do I enter the Badge Bearer's Guild?
You need at least 15 badges of any rank. Once inside, a second inner room is locked behind a gate that requires at least one Ace badge to pass through.
Do badges in the same category stack with each other?
No. Earning a higher-rank badge in a category replaces the boost from the lower rank rather than adding to it.
