Beekeeping 🐝 Get ready to have some new friends buzzing around your Island, as Bees are making their way to Cosmic Sky!

How Beekeeping Works

The Beekeeping system introduces plenty of island-based content surrounding Bees, such as:

Upgradable Bee Hives & Queen Bees
Bee Larvae incubation
Tiered Worker Bees
Buffed crop growth for crops within range of your Bees
Tiered Pollen
Distilling Honeycomb into Tiered Honey Bottles
And more!

Starting your Beekeeping Journey

To begin, you will first need to craft a Bee Hive!

Bee Hives are crafted using 8x Empty Honeycomb in a Crafting Bench (same shape as a Chest).

Hover Over the Crafting GUI to see What Items to Craft With!

Empty Honeycomb can be obtained via:
- /quest rewards
- Destroying Bee Nests that spawn when an Oak Sapling grows with Flowers nearby
When placed on your Island, each Bee Hive begins with a Level 1 Queen Bee and a Basic Worker Bee.

Worker Bees will:

Leave the hive to forage after resting
Travel to nearby ungrown crops, spreading pollen to fully grow crops
Deposit collected Pollen into the hive before entering a Rest period

Bee Larvae & Incubation

To expand your Beekeeping empire, you’ll need Bee Larvae.

Obtained from /quest rewards or by breaking Bee Nests
Place Larvae in a Hive to begin a 15-minute incubation process
Once ready, transform Larvae into a Worker Bee using:
- 1x Empty Honeycomb
- 10x Pollen (highest tier stored in the Hive)
Transformation creates a random tier Bee from Basic → Mythic
Using higher-tier Pollen increases the chance of stronger Bees

All About Your Bees

Each Bee has unique Traits that define its strength:

Max Forage Time
Forage Speed
Forage Distance
Max Forage per Trip
Rest Time

When Larvae become Worker Bees:

They roll between Basic → Mythic rarities
Higher tier Bees = better Traits
Basic Bees always have fixed base Traits

Each Hive:

Starts with 1x Basic Worker Bee
Can have more Bees added manually (up to slot capacity)
Bees follow a cycle of Foraging → Resting, automatically gathering Pollen

🌼 Pollen Collection and Uses

As Bees work, your Hive fills with Pollen. This can be used for:

Filling Honeycomb

Empty Honeycomb inside the Hive combines with Pollen to form Filled Honeycomb
Uses:
- Feed to your Queen Bee for Hive EXP
  - Higher-tier Honeycomb = more EXP
- Extract and refine into Honey Bottles

Honey Distilling

Place Filled Honeycomb into a Honey Distiller (purchasable in /shop for $100,000)
Each Honeycomb → 1x Honey Bottle (60s process, matching tier)
Honey Bottles can be:
- Sold in /shop
- Used in custom recipes (Coming Soon!)
