User: This is my current hive in Bee Swarm Simulator.

This is my current hive in Bee Swarm Simulator. The second photo is my current gear. Can you learn as much as you can about bee swarm simulator and tell me what the absolute best way to progress from here is?

Assistant: Got it.

Got it. I’ll treat this as mid-game Bee Swarm Simulator, and I’ll be very direct and practical.

What you currently have (from the screenshots)

Hive

• ~43M honey → solid mid-game
• ~35 bees
• Bees are mostly level 7–8
• Very mixed hive (red, blue, white all together)
• You have several good rares/epics, but: - No clear specialization - Too many low-impact duplicates - No strong synergy yet

This hive is fine for now, but it is holding you back long-term.

Gear (from the second image)

You appear to have:

• Porcelain Dipper (white scoop, blue/red wings)
• Porcelain Port-O-Hive
• Mid-tier accessories
• No endgame masks (Demon/Diamond/Gummy)
• No Petal Wand yet

So: classic pre–Spirit Bear / early Spirit Bear stage.

Your exact stage

You are at the most important transition point in the game:

From “general grinding” → efficient progression

From here, random upgrades waste weeks if done wrong.

Absolute best way to progress (step-by-step)

1. Stop upgrading randomly

Do NOT:

• Buy random bees
• Level all bees evenly
• Chase mythics yet
• Switch hive colors yet

Your goal right now is quest efficiency, not honey flexing.

2. Your #1 priority: Spirit Bear quests

Everything funnels into this.

You want:

• Petal Wand
• Petal Belt
• Eventually Wind Shrine

What to do:

• Focus Spirit Bear, Mother Bear, Science Bear
• Ignore grindy optional quests unless needed

Petal Wand > everything else at your stage.

3. Hive cleanup (this is critical)

You need to convert this hive into a quest-efficient mixed hive.

Bees you WANT to keep / aim for

(rough target counts)

Core utility

• 2–3x Music Bee (token link + focus)
• 2x Baby Bee (baby love = massive boost)
• 1x Carpenter Bee (marks)
• 1x Commander Bee (crit chance)

Bomb support

• 2x Bucko Bee
• 2x Riley Bee
• 2–3x Demo Bee

Collection

• 2x Diamond Bee
• 1x Lion Bee

Event bees (priority order)

1. Tabby Bee (absolute must)
2. Photon Bee
3. Gummy Bee
4. Festive Bee
5. Crimson/Cobalt (later)

If you don’t have Tabby + Photon, stop everything and get them.

Bees to REMOVE gradually

• Extra Rage Bees
• Extra Fire Bees
• Redundant low-impact rares
• Too many Looker/Cool/Hasty duplicates

Every slot must justify itself.

4. Leveling strategy (very important)

Do NOT:

• Level everyone to 9 equally

Do this instead:

• Push 10–12 core bees to level 9 first: - Tabby - Photon - Music Bees - Baby Bees - Commander - Carpenter

This gives way more power per treat.

5. Masks – what you should do

Short term

• Get Gummy Mask first if possible Why: - Universal - Insane goo + white pollen - Best for quests

Do NOT rush:

• Demon Mask
• Diamond Mask

Those are post-Petal Wand goals.

6. Fields & grinding strategy

You should rotate based on quests, but generally:

• Sunflower / Pine Tree / Mushroom early
• Cactus / Rose / Spider mid
• Always boost fields with: - Field Dice - Enzymes - Oil - Glue (don’t waste too much)

Learn micro-boosting, not macro AFK yet.

7. Honey spending priority

Exact order:

1. Hive slots (to ~40)
2. Event bees
3. Petal Wand materials
4. Masks
5. Bee leveling

Never dump honey into random royal jelly rolls yet.

8. What NOT to do yet

This is where most people stall:

• ❌ Don’t pick a hive color
• ❌ Don’t chase mythics
• ❌ Don’t AFK macro endlessly
• ❌ Don’t buy Demon/Diamond mask early

That comes after Spirit Bear + Petal Wand.

If you want, next steps I can give you

If you want to go deeper, I can:

• Give you a precise bee replacement plan (slot by slot)
• Tell you exactly which bees to jelly next
• Help you choose Gummy vs Demon vs Diamond later
• Design your first real boost setup
• Plan a clean transition to red/blue/white hive later

Just tell me which one you want to tackle next.
