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
  • Electric Bee Hives – powered hives with enhanced crop growth
  • 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

Electric Bee Hives

Electric Bee Hives are a powered variant of Bee Hives that provide enhanced crop growth capabilities.

Recipe:

  • 1x Bee Hive + 1x Basic Electricity Adapter

Requirements:

Electricity Stats:

Stat Value
Max Input 50,000 watts
Storage Buffer 500,000 watts

Features:

  • Enables 2x2 Bee Growth – Bees can grow crops in a 2x2 area instead of 1x1
  • Must have a 5 block gap between Electric Bee Hives
  • Functions like a normal Bee Hive when powered

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



Bee Juicer

The Bee Juicer is a new Custom Block that can be placed on your Island. It converts Worker Bees into Empty Honeycomb with a chance to produce a Bee Larvae!

The higher the tier of Bee you place into the Juicer, the more Honeycomb you'll receive and the higher the chance of a Larvae dropping:

  • Basic Bee: 1x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
  • Elite Bee: 2x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
  • Legendary Bee: 3x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
  • Godly Bee: 4x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
  • Heroic Bee: 5x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
  • Mythic Bee: 6x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
