Additionally, all surrounding Bees less than about a screen away - killer or otherwise - will join the fight. If a Bee is attacked or caught with a Bug Net, all members of the hive still inside the box will emerge immediately as Killer Bees and engage. Thus, Killer Bees do not slow Honey production by competing with workers for living space as they are essentially the same thing.
Therefore, the same specimen can fight off a threat as a Killer Bee, enter the hive, and then re-emerge as a worker to gather pollen. When a Bee returns to the hive, that role gets erased.
Every time a Bee leaves the hive, the game assigns it a role. Instead, the same specimen can act as a worker or a fighter depending on what the current situation calls for. Technically, Bees do not have a fixed role. All Bees will return to their box at dusk, but they will leave it during daytime one at a time every 37.5 seconds. When destroyed by a Hammer, it will return 1 Honeycomb and 1 Boards, and will release any Bees inside the Box.Ī Bee Box will (re)spawn a new Bee every 4 game hours (2 minutes) up to the maximum population of 4 per box. It takes 1 Honeycomb, 4 Bees, and 2 Boards to build. Bee Boxes are found in the Food Tab and require a Science Machine to prototype.
”Ī Bee Box is a craftable Structure that uses Bees to accumulate Honey that can be harvested. “ I thought I heard some buzzing coming from over here.
