All Bees in Build A Beehive
Last updated:
You cannot purchase, trade, or upgrade bees independently in Build A Beehive. Every bee in your hive comes from a flower you planted, and each bee type has fixed speed and pollen carry stats tied to its source bloom. This database documents every major bee type, their stats, how to obtain them, and when to replace underperformers. Cross-reference our bee tier list for ranked comparisons and the flower database to see which seed produces each bee.
How Bee Stats Work
Bees continuously fly between their assigned flower and your hive. Each completed trip deposits pollen that converts into honey. Two numbers control efficiency: speed measured in meters per second, and carry measured in pollen per trip. Honey per minute equals trips completed multiplied by carry per trip �?so a bee that is faster and carries more is exponentially more productive, not just incrementally better.
Travel distance adds a third factor. A fast bee assigned to a flower far from the hive wastes time in transit. Always pair your strongest bees with plots closest to the hive. Our optimal garden layout guide explains how to assign bees to plots for maximum output.
Starter Bees
Daisy Bee
Daisy Bee is every player's first bee, attracted when a Daisy flower fully grows. It moves at 12 m/s and carries only 5 pollen per trip. These stats are fine for learning the collect-and-sell loop during your first few minutes, but Daisy Bee is the weakest bee in the entire game. Replace the underlying Daisy with a Tulip or better as soon as your income allows. Keeping Daisy Bees in hive-adjacent plots is the single most common reason new players feel stuck.
Mid-Tier Bees
Tulip Bee
Tulip Bee is the benchmark for mid-game performance. It flies at roughly 14 m/s and carries about 130 pollen per trip �?a 26x carry increase over Daisy Bee from only a modest speed bump. Most players first encounter Tulip Bee when they buy their first Tulip from a shop restock. The income difference is immediately noticeable. Tulip Bee is the bee that transforms progression from grinding to compounding growth.
Sunflower Bee
Sunflower Bee attracts from Sunflower-tier blooms and lands in A tier alongside Tulip Bee. Speed and carry values are competitive with Tulip Bee, making Sunflower Bee an excellent choice for filling multiple hive-adjacent plots during mid-game. Sunflower seeds appear regularly enough in shop restocks to build a full row of Sunflower Bees before transitioning to endgame tiers.
Bluebell Bee
Bluebell Bee arrives from Bluebell flowers and ranks in A tier with stats that match or exceed Tulip Bee in some cases. Bluebell seeds come from shop restocks and code redemptions like HappyHoliday. If you obtain Bluebell seeds, prioritize planting them in your closest plots to the hive for immediate income gains.
High-Tier and Endgame Bees
Fire Blossom Bee
Bees attracted by Fire Blossom rank in S tier with elite speed and massive pollen carry. Fire Blossom Bee production rates dwarf mid-tier options and form the backbone of late-game gardens. Fire Blossom seeds are expensive and rare �?buy on sight when stocked and protect the plot permanently unless upgrading to something even stronger.
Cactus Bee
Cactus Bee is widely considered one of the strongest standard bees in the game, clocking in at approximately 18 m/s with around 1,000 pollen carry. Cactus-tier flowers are expensive and appear rarely in shop restocks. A single Cactus Bee in a front-row plot can outperform an entire row of mid-tier bees in far plots.
Giant Bees
Occasionally a planted flower mutates into a Giant Flower, attracting an oversized bee with boosted speed and carry beyond its normal tier. Giant Bees effectively break the standard stat table �?a Giant Daisy Bee could outperform a normal Tulip Bee. These mutations are rare and valuable. Never shovel a Giant Flower regardless of its base type. Learn more in our giant flowers and bees guide.
Giant Bees appear without warning during normal planting. There is no way to force the mutation, so treat every Giant as a permanent garden asset. Place Giant Flowers in the closest available plot to the hive and leave them untouched for the rest of your playthrough unless a higher-tier Giant appears.
Mythic Bee �?100K Likes Milestone
The Mythic Bee is an exclusive endgame reward tied to the Roblox game page reaching 100,000 likes. When the community hits this milestone, fantastic_games typically releases a code or in-game reward granting access to the Mythic Bee �?the pinnacle of bee stats in Build A Beehive. Mythic Bee represents the ultimate honey farming tool and should be placed in your absolute best plot near the hive.
Community milestones like the 100K likes goal are worth supporting because the rewards directly accelerate endgame progression. Check our active codes page regularly around milestone announcements, and follow the progression guide to ensure your garden is ready to capitalize on Mythic Bee the moment it becomes available.

When to Replace Bees
Check your in-game bee sidebar regularly. Any bee with speed under 13 m/s and carry under 50 pollen in a front-row plot is a replacement candidate. Shovel the underlying flower and replant with a higher-tier seed from the next shop restock. There is no separate bee upgrade path �?flower replacement is the only method.
Follow our get better bees guide for a step-by-step upgrade path from Daisy Bee to endgame tiers. Use the honey calculator to model your garden output before spending on expensive seeds, and match bee upgrades with the flower tier list to know which seeds to target.
