Bee

A busy pollinator that sweetens the farm.

The Bee Egg¶

Sold by Farmhand Steve after you defeat him in battle. It is a one-time-use spawn egg: right-click the ground inside a claim or rented plot where you can build (overworld only) to release a permanent Bee onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 85 to buy AND to use, and the animal counts toward your 50-animal ranch cap. Ranch Protection (toggled per claim in /claimmanager) keeps released animals safe from harm.

Steve's price:

A Turtle Ticket (earned by defeating the Ninja Turtle) pays for any ONE egg in place of its full item cost - the Gathering gate still applies.

Other ways to find the egg¶

Once you have the Gathering level, bees can hand you the egg themselves: every time you feed one, defeat one in combat, or startle one with the Leaf Staff, there is a 1 in 10,000 chance it leaves a Bee Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding bees¶

Right-click any adult bee while holding a Dandelion or Poppy to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a Honeycomb. While your Bee Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).

The Bee Pet¶

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling bees can earn you the Bee Pet - one per player, ever. While it follows you it improves that animal's feeding odds and can add a bonus drop on your kills. Its unique perk - Pollinator's Favor: your out bee pet speeds its cycles by up to 25%. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.

The Bee Spawner¶

Trade Bee Eggs back to Steve for a Bee Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable bee on your claim - complete with its own job.
