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!)
