If you’ve been playing Roblox Grow A Garden, you’ve probably heard about the Honey Bee pet. It’s one of the rarer pets in the game, introduced during the Bizzy Bee Event update. In this guide, I’ll explain how the Honey Bee works, how to get it, and what makes it unique, all from the perspective of someone who plays regularly.
What Is the Honey Bee?
The Honey Bee is a rare pet that shares the basic model of a normal Bee but comes with a honey-themed look. Its wings are yellow-gold, the body has a more orange tint, and it even has little falling honey particles, which makes it easy to recognize.
Most players find the Honey Bee interesting because it’s not just a cosmetic upgrade—it has a useful trait called Beeter Pollinator, which can help your garden in subtle ways.
How Do You Get the Honey Bee?
In general, the Honey Bee can be obtained from the Bee Egg, which is the event-specific egg from the Bizzy Bee Event. There are two main ways to buy the Bee Egg:
-
Using Honey, the in-game currency, for 18 Honey
-
Using Robux, for 2019 Logo Black 129
Most players who don’t want to wait for Honey to accumulate will choose Robux. However, the Honey route is usually more cost-effective if you participate in daily garden activities and events.
Some new or casual players ask about other options, like using websites to buy grow a garden items, but in practice, relying on in-game methods is safer and usually faster than looking outside the game.
How Much Hunger Does the Honey Bee Have?
The Honey Bee has 25,000 hunger, which is on the higher side for event pets. This means it can stay active for longer periods without needing to be fed.
In general, players focus on feeding pets with higher hunger capacity first, because it allows them to keep pollination active without constant attention. The Honey Bee fits well into this strategy since its hunger is large compared to many other pets obtained from regular eggs.
What Makes the Honey Bee Special?
The Honey Bee’s main trait, Beeter Pollinator, works in a very specific way. Every 19:58–1:00 minute, the Honey Bee flies to a nearby fruit and pollinates it. This automatically applies the Pollinated mutation to the fruit.
Most players notice that this trait is more effective when the Honey Bee is in a crowded garden with multiple fruit trees. Since it automatically seeks out fruits, it helps save time and increases mutation chances without requiring direct player interaction.
How Does the Honey Bee Compare to Other Pets?
The Honey Bee is often compared to the Golden Bee, mainly because they look somewhat similar. However, the Honey Bee is generally considered an upgrade of the standard Bee.
-
Golden Bee: Usually obtained through other events or eggs, has a shiny golden look, but doesn’t provide as reliable pollination.
-
Honey Bee: Slightly more orange, honey-particle effect, and provides consistent pollination through its Beeter Pollinator trait.
Most players who are aiming to optimize fruit mutations prefer the Honey Bee over the Golden Bee because of the passive pollination it offers.
Tips for Using the Honey Bee Effectively
-
Place near fruit trees: The Honey Bee only pollinates nearby fruits. Make sure it has access to multiple trees to maximize its trait.
-
Pair with other mutation-focused pets: Since pollination affects mutations, having the Honey Bee alongside pets that boost mutation rates can significantly increase your garden’s productivity.
-
Feed regularly: With 25,000 hunger, the Honey Bee lasts longer than most pets, but keeping it fed ensures continuous pollination.
-
Track mutations: Players usually keep an eye on the fruits that the Honey Bee pollinates to plan their breeding or mutation strategy.
Common Questions About the Honey Bee
Q: Can the Honey Bee be used in regular gardening, or only in events? A: It can be used anywhere in your garden, not just in event-specific areas. Its pollination trait is always active, making it useful for ongoing mutation work.
Q: Is it better than a regular Bee? A: Most players agree it is. While regular Bees are fine for basic pollination, the Honey Bee’s trait triggers more predictably and it has a higher hunger, meaning fewer interruptions.
Q: Does it evolve into anything else? A: Not exactly. It’s already considered an upgraded Bee, and while it can contribute to mutations on fruits, the pet itself doesn’t evolve further.
Honey Bee Mutations and Galleries
For those interested in how the Honey Bee interacts with fruit mutations, here’s a quick overview of the types of mutations it can help trigger: Aromatic, Ascended, Corrupted, Dreadbound, Fried, Frozen, GiantBean, Glimmering, Golden, Inverted, IronSkin, Mega, Nightmare, Radiant, Rainbow, Shiny, Silver, Soulflame, Tranquil, and Windy.
Most experienced players use a rotation of the Honey Bee with other mutation-focused pets to systematically trigger these mutations across their fruit trees.
The Honey Bee is a solid pet for anyone looking to increase mutation efficiency in Roblox Grow A Garden. Its passive pollination trait, high hunger, and unique appearance make it a favorite among regular players. While it requires some investment, either in Honey or Robux, its long-term benefits for fruit mutations make it worth considering for any active garden.
