All Bee Swarm Simulator Stats Mechanics
Here is a complete list of all mechanics related to stats in Bee Swarm Simulator. Check them out!
1. Balloons
Balloons float around fields and collect pollen for you automatically . They grab pollen from flowers underneath them and bring it back to your hive. There are six types, and each one has different stats:
2. Beequips
These are special items you put on your bees to make them stronger . Beequips are like equipment or armor for your bees . You can only give a Beequip to a bee that’s at or above the Beequip’s level. When you first get Beequips , they go into a Beequip Case that Dapper Bear gives you. You start with 5 slots, but can get up to 15 slots total from completing quests.
3. Bubbles
Bubbles pop up when certain bees gather pollen or when you use specific tools . When you pop a bubble, it collects pollen from 29 flowers around it . Each bubble grabs 4 red pollen , 6 white pollen , and 8 blue pollen .
Bubbles last 4 seconds . The amount of pollen bubbles collected depends on your Bubble Pollen stat, which you can check on your System Page. Golden Bubbles are special, though. They collect twice as much pollen per field boost stack, help Pop Star grow 50% faster, convert all pollen instantly, and have a 10% chance to drop honey tokens.
You can boost your bubble pollen with the Diamond Mask (1.5x), Bubble Mask (1.25x), Gifted Bubble Bee (1.25x), and various Beequips.
4. Buffs and Debuffs
Buffs make you stronger while debuffs make things harder. You can see all your active effects at the top of your screen. Hover over any icon to see what it does and how long it lasts.
You get buffs from items, quest NPCs, ability tokens, codes , and dispensers. Some buffs are super rare and only come from specific sources.
5. Clouds
Clouds are like moving sprinklers that rain on flowers. They float around fields for 1 to 5 minutes , watering 49 flowers at a time . Standing under a cloud gives you the Cloud Boost buff. Cloud Boost gives you 25% more pollen and 10% Unique Instant Conversion . The buff lasts up to 8 seconds after you leave the cloud.
You can have up to 6 clouds in one field. You get clouds from using Cloud Vials, donating to the Wind Shrine, fighting Wild Windy Bee, or from your own Windy Bee.
6. Critical Hits
Critical Hits are when you collect way more pollen or deal more damage than normal. The base power doubles everything. When you get a critical hit, the numbers shake and change color on your screen. Your Critical Chance stat controls how often this happens. Your Critical Power stat makes them even stronger when they do happen.
7. Field Boosts
The Field Boost stat makes you collect more pollen from one specific field . Each stack doubles your pollen from that field (100% increase). You can stack this 4 times for a total of 4x pollen . You get field boosts from:
- Field Boosters
- Coconut Dispenser (only for Coconut Field)
- Glitter
- Giving presents during Beesmas
- Field Dice items
- Special codes
When you use another boost on the same field, the stacks add up, and the timer resets to 15 minutes . So you can keep stacking boosts right before they run out. Fields with active boosts give off white sparkles.
8. Field Capacity
Field Capacity increases how much pollen your bag can hold in certain fields. There are two types: colored field capacity and specific field capacity .
Red Field Capacity comes from:
- Riley Bee (When gifted)
- Demon Mask
- Scorching Star
Blue Field Capacity comes from:
- Bucko Bee (when gifted)
- Bubble Bloat
White Field Capacity comes from:
- Exhausted Bee (when gifted)
- Gummy Mask
- Gummy Star
The Coconut Canister gives 1.25x capacity just for Coconut Field. Some Beequips also boost field capacity, like the Rose Headband, giving 14% to 40% more capacity in Rose Field.
9. Field Winds
Field Winds work like field boosts but last 30 minutes instead of 15. Each stack gives you more pollen from one field and 3% instant conversion, starting at 25% base conversion. You can stack winds up to 15 times.
You get field winds by donating items to the Wind Shrine or using codes , and different items give winds for different fields. Here is the list:
| Field | Pollen Per Stack | Max Pollen (15 Stacks) | Max Conversion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunflower | +31% | +115% | +50% |
| Dandelion | +31% | +115% | +50% |
| Clover | +30% | +100% | +50% |
| Mountain Top | +28% | +70% | +50% |
| Coconut | +28% | +70% | +50% |
10. Flames
Flames appears on flowers and collect pollen while burning . They last 4 seconds and collect 4 red, 2 white, or 1 blue pollen from 9 flowers every second. The amount increases by 2% per red bee you have and 4% per gifted red bee. Flames also damage mobs , dealing 10 damage per second plus 25% of your base bee attack. Each second under flames gives you the Flame Heat buff.
You get flames from:
- Scythe
- Fire Bee
- Demon Bee
- Spicy Bee’s Inferno ability
- Bees with Bead Lizard or Electric Candle beequips
- Fire Mask’s Ignite passive
- Demon Mask’s X-Flame passive
11. Goo
The Goo is that purple stuff that appears on flowers and gives you bonus honey. The bigger the goo puddle, the more bonus honey you get when collecting pollen from it. Many quests require you to collect goo.
The easiest way to spread goo is with Gumdrops that can be crafted with the Blender , or Gummy Boots. Other players can use your goo too, and using their goo doesn’t take it away. Goo puddles disappear on their own after a short time.
12. Honey Per Pollen
This stat controls how much honey you get from each piece of pollen . Everyone starts at 100%, which means 10 pollen becomes 10 honey. At 110%, that same 10 pollen becomes 11 honey.
You can check you Honey per Pollen percentage on the System Page anytime. This stat works with instant conversion to massively boost your honey production. When combined with goo and extra capacity, you will make honey way faster.
13. Instant Conversion
Instant Conversion turns pollen into honey automatically while you’re still in the field. This basically makes your bag bigger because converted pollen doesn’t take up space. There are 8 types of Instant Conversion:
- Flame Conversion – Works when you collect from flames.
- Field Conversion – Comes from field winds in specific fields.
- Colored Conversion – Only converts red, blue, or white pollen.
- Goo Conversion – Only works on pollen from goo.
- Bomb Conversion – Activates when you collect from bombs.
- Unique Instant Conversion – Comes from clouds and some items.
- Instant Tool Conversion – Only works on pollen from your tools.
- Bee Gather Conversion – Only converts pollen that bees collect.
14. Nectar
Nectar gives you buffs that can last up to 24 hours . You get nectar from planters, harvesting them, having bees sip from them, using Dapper Bear’s Samovar during Beesmas, or using nectar vials.
There are 5 nectar types and each one boosts different stats. The strength of the boost depends on how much time is left:
| Nectar Type | Main Buffs | Best Fields |
|---|---|---|
| Comforting | • 1.1x – 2x Colorless Convert • 1.05x – 1.5x Blue Pollen • 1.1x – 2x Convert Rate at Hive | Dandelion, Bamboo, Pine Tree |
| Motivating | • 1.05x – 1.5x Convert Rate • 1.05x – 1.5x Blue Pollen • 1% – 5% Bee Ability Rate | Mushroom, Spider, Stump, Rose |
| Satisfying | • 1.1x – 2x Red Convert • 1.1x – 2x White Pollen • 1.05x – 1.5x Honey at Hive | Sunflower, Pineapple, Pumpkin |
| Refreshing | • 1.1x – 2x Blue Convert • 1.05x – 1.5x Red Pollen • 5% – 20% Unique Instant Conversion | Blue Flower, Strawberry, Coconut |
| Invigorating | • 1.05x – 1.5x Convert Rate • 1.02x – 1.10x Red Pollen • 1.02x- 1.10x Bee Attack | Clover, Cactus, Mountain Top, Pepper |
15. Passive Abilities
Passives are special effects that work automatically when you wear certain items or have certain bees . They show up near your hotbar with icons. Some passives need you to do something multiple times before they activate.
The number on a passive icon shows how close you are to activating it. When it activates, the number resets to zero. Some passives have cooldowns, shown in pale red numbers counting down the seconds.
16. Pollination
Pollination makes flowers grow bigger, so they can hold more pollen and give you better multipliers. Flowers can be pollinated up to 5 times , with each level lasting 1 minute . After a minute without new pollination, the flower drops down one tier.
You can pollinate flowers in several ways:
- Fuzzy Bee’s Fuzz Bombs pollinate flowers when they pop.
- Fuzzy Bee’s Fuzzy Coat passive pollinates up to 5 flowers while collecting (9 when gifted).
- Fuzzy Bee’s Pollen Haze pollinates 30 flowers every second.
- Diamond Mask’s Diamond Drain pollinates 10 blue flowers, plus 3 more for each blue bee you have.
- If Guiding Star is active, it pollinates 15 flowers every 15 seconds (plus 1 per gifted bee type).
- Poinsettia Beequip has an 11%-20% chance to pollinate while gathering.
- Lei Beequip has a 20%-50% chance
- Rose Headband Beequip has a 10%-20% chance.
