Pollen

Pollen is collected to make honey in Bee Swarm Simulator.

Pollen can be obtained by using tools (by tapping/clicking), on flowers or from bees gathering themselves and activating their abilities. Flowers can have different sizes and different colors. Some quests require pollen to be collected from a specific flower color.

Pollen is mainly used to convert it into honey at the player's hive. This is one of the most common ways to get honey. Pollen is also used as a counter to track how much a player has farmed from a field in badges.

Pollen Amount Per Flower
In order to get more pollen per collection, collect the biggest flowers on the field. The bigger the flower, the larger the pollen multiplier. There are 5 different flower sizes: single, double, triple, large, and star.

Collection amount and efficiency can be increased by using better tools (either collecting in a large area or multiplying pollen collection. For example, the Scythe and the Bubble Wand each collect double red and blue pollen, respectively. Collecting bear morph, beesmas cheer, and baby love ability tokens, Bear Bee and Basic Bee gifted bonuses, badges, using game mechanics, expanding the hive, different amulets, using items, and different passive abilities can all lead to better pollen collection.

Trivia

 * Single, double, and triple flowers are the only types of flowers that can naturally spawn in fields. Large and star flowers can only be spawned through pollination.
 * Before the Egg Hunt 2020 update, only the single, double, and large flowers were in the game. When the Egg Hunt 2020 update was released, large flowers became triple flowers and the flower images were polished to look more attractive and simplistic.
