Honey Bee Bonanza! - Spring 2018
What's all the buzz about?
Clara and Finn start work on an important project - they want to build a new beehive to attract the island's bees, maybe even the Jumbo Bee! You will need to use specific items to level up the Beehive (similar principle to the previous gathering events).
How to get[]
The Honey Bee Hive is available from Apr 20th 17h GMT and the event runs until Apr 30th 21h GMT.
You can place the base of the Hive on your island by dragging it in from the game's build menu (free).
Levelling Up and Rewards[]
To upgrade your Hive you must "feed" it with special flower arrangements crafted at the Blacksmith mill :
Peony Parcel, Aqua Amphorae and Luxurious Lei
The make times and heart rewards for these items are shown below :
Item | Time to make | Reward gain/h | |
---|---|---|---|
Peony Parcel | 30 min | 50 | 100 |
Aqua Amphorae | 60 min | 500 | 500 |
Luxurious Lei | 2 hrs | 1000 | 500 |
Note: Standard make times without Mill Mastery upgrades.
Note: Heart values for flower arrangements may be reduced while the "Short Build Time" booster is active.
You will receive 2x Paradise Pot which will yield the flowers needed to make the special arrangements. You can buy more for 100 each. Paradise Pots can be harvested every 30 minutes for the duration of the event. You'll also need plenty of Bottle and Thread..!
Paradise Pots will sometimes yield Karma Camellia flowers. Share your Karma Camellia with other TradeMasters to receive a Vivacious Violet. These are needed to make the Luxurious Lei.
Each time you supply flower arrangements to your Hive you will receive and rewards.
Each time you level up your Hive you will receive various rewards and decorations (see below).

Clara: "Well, we need more honey bees around here."
Clara: "Get ready for a Honey Bee Bonanza in Paradise Bay!"
Clara: "First, help me place this Honey Bee Hive, will you please?"
Clara: "That spot is perfect! Bees are so important, Finn!"
Clara: "If we are going to attract them, we need some flowers!"
Clara: "Find a nice place for these Paradise Pots, Trademaster!"
Clara: "Perfect! These special Paradise Pots will grow more than one type of flower!"
Finn: "How do we know which one it will be?"
Clara: "That's part of the surprise, Finn. We just see what grows!"
Clara: "We need to make our Hive an attractive place for bees to move into."
Clara: "While we're waiting for our first flowers to grow, here are some flowers to get us started!"
Clara: "Let's go the Blacksmith! We can prepare sturdy arrangements with our flowers there!"
Clara: "Check the Blacksmith to see what we need to craft!"
Finn: "Let's hurry this up, Trademaster! I want to see what it makes!"
Clara: "Oh, look at that! Beautiful! Now, if we place this on the Honey Bee Hive it'll help attract bees!"
Finn: "Wow! The Hive got bigger!"
Clara: "Yes it did! Now, all we have to do is keep stacking flower arrangements around the Hive."
Clara: "That's how we'll attract bees. Maybe even the biggest bee of all!"
Clara: "You got a Karma Camellia! Give it to a friend's Hive and you'll get a Vivacious Violet in return!"
Clara: "You can use your Vivacious Violet to make a Luxurious Lei at the Blacksmith!"
Finn: "What did you mean by the “biggest bee of all", Clara?"
Clara: "There's a Jumbo Bee, on the island, Finn! If we can attract him to our Hive, we'll get bonus honey!"
Finn: "I like the sound of that!"
Finn: "The Hive gets more impressive every time I turn around!"
Clara: "I know! I really hope the Jumbo Bee is impressed!"
Finn: "Bees make life better all over Paradise Bay!"
Clara: "That's true, Finn! Bees are like little friends that help up grow beautiful crops and flowers!"
Finn: "I used to be scared of them, but they're pretty good to have around I guess."
Clara: "That's exactly right, Finn!"
Wesley: "Well what do we have here? Building a Bee Hive?"
Finn: "That's right, Wesley! We're going to build the bees a nice house!"
Wesley: "Very good idea, young man! I'll lend you a hand."
Finn: "Just keep making these arrangements at the Blacksmith, Wesley!"
Finn: "We're getting very close to finishing our Honey Bee Hive, Clara!"
Clara: "That's true! And if we can finish it in time, the Jumbo Bee will move in!"
Clara: "And if that happens, he'll give us honey!"
Finn: "Really?!"
Clara: "He really will!"
Clara: "We did it!"
Wesley: "And the Jumbo Bee has decided to move into our Honey Bee Hive!"
Clara: "Thank you so much for your help, Finn! And you too, Trademaster!"
Finn: "Do you think these bees know how hard it was to make this?"
Clara: "Believe me, Finn. These bees are no strangers to hard work!"
Clara: "They'll be working hard to help us have a beautiful, successful island!"
Finn: "Well, do they ever take naps?"
Clara: "Of course!"
Finn: "Me too! And I'm taking one right now! Phew!"
