The Bee Biome event is active from the moment you spawn. Explore the forest to find the Bee Biome by looking for flying bees and honey-themed trees and buildings. You can activate Bee Hives by planting flowers, collect Honey passively over time, and spend it at the Beekeeper Shop for gear and recipes. Pollinate the Giant Beehive at the center of the biome to boost all Hive output. Three event badges are available, each rewarding permanent Diamonds.
The Bee Biome is 99 Nights in the Forest's latest limited-time event, and unlike previous events, the it's already active the moment your run begins. The event adds Honey as a new currency earned passively from leveled-up Bee Hives, a Beekeeper Shop that refreshes daily, and a Giant Beehive you can Pollinate for stronger production across all Hives. So, this complete guide covers every mechanic, all available rewards, and the three badges tied to the event.
How Do You Start the Bee Biome Event in 99 Nights in the Forest?
The event is active in every run automatically with no special trigger required. As soon as you spawn, begin exploring nearby areas and look for the Bee Biome. You can identify it by flying bees in the air, honey-themed trees, and bee-related structures scattered through that section of the forest. Once you find it, you can start completing the event.
How Do You Get Honey in 99 Nights in the Forest?
Honey is earned passively by activating and leveling up Bee Hives scattered across the Bee Biome. To start producing Honey, pick up flowers found throughout the forest and interact with a Hive to plant them inside.
This activates the Hive and begins generating Honey per minute. Hives can be upgraded by planting additional flowers to increase their output rate:
| Hive Level | Flowers Required | Honey Per Minute |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 1 flower | 1 Honey/min |
| Level 2 | 15 flowers | 3 Honey/min |
| Level 3 | TBA | TBA |
TIP: Prioritize collecting as many flowers as possible before spending Honey in the shop. A higher Hive level compounds over time, so investing flowers early into upgrades pays off significantly more than spending Honey immediately.
How Do You Pollinate in 99 Nights in the Forest?
Pollinating the Giant Beehive boosts the Honey generation strength across all active Bee Hives on the map, making it one of the most impactful actions in the event. The Giant Beehive is located roughly at the center of the Bee Biome.
To Pollinate, collect enough Honey, find the Giant Beehive, interact with it, and press Pollinate. Each Pollination tier costs more Honey than the last:
| Pollination Level | Honey Required |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | 20 Honey |
| Level 2 | 60 Honey |
| Level 3 | 150 Honey |
What Are the Rewards for the Bee Biome Event in 99 Nights in the Forest?
Spend Honey at the Beekeeper NPC in the Bee Biome to open the Beekeeper Shop. All items in the shop refresh daily, so you can return each day to purchase them again.
| Item | Honey Cost |
|---|---|
| Bee Box Recipe Tablet | 360 Honey |
| Bee Stinger Spear | 100 Honey |
| Jar o' Honey | 40 Honey |
| Revolver Ammo | 15 Honey |
| Rifle Ammo | 15 Honey |
| Honeycomb | 10 Honey |
NOTE: Honeycomb can be combined with Meat at a crafting station to create Candied Meat, a new recipe added with this update. Pick up a Honeycomb early if you want to experiment with the new crafting option.
How Do You Get Every Bee Biome Event Badge in 99 Nights in the Forest?
Three permanent badges are available from the Bee Biome event, each rewarding Diamonds on completion. Here's how to get each of them:
| Badge | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Apiary | Level up 3 Bee Hives to Level 3 in a single run |
| Beekeeping | Pollinate the Giant Beehive 10 times (progress carries across multiple runs) |
| Hivecraft | Purchase the Bee Box Recipe Tablet from the Beekeeper Shop |
Hivecraft is the fastest badge to complete since it only requires accumulating 360 Honey and buying the tablet once. Beekeeping is the most grind-friendly conversely Apiary is the one that requires the most grind.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No. The event activates automatically at the start of every run without needing a cutscene, a specific night, or any trigger. Simply explore the forest from your spawn point and follow the flying bees to find the Bee Biome.
Yes. The Beekeeping badge requires 10 total Pollinations, and this progress accumulates across multiple separate runs. You do not need to Pollinate 10 times in a single game, which makes the badge accessible even without long surviving runs.
The Beekeeper Shop refreshes every day, meaning all items become available for purchase again each reset. This makes daily Honey farming worthwhile even after you have purchased the main items, particularly ammo, Honeycomb, and the Jar o' Honey, which are useful to stock up on repeatedly.
