Bizzy Bee Event – Grow a Garden Wiki
Your complete guide to the Bizzy Bee Event in Grow a Garden.
Bizzy Bee Event
Overview
The Bizzy Bee Event was a limited-time celebration where players helped the Queen Bee and her helpers collect honey, craft unique bee-themed items, and take part in hourly swarm events. Most of the activities took place around the Honey Merchant Shop, where players could exchange honey for special event rewards.
Event Mechanics
Honey System
Players earned Honey by delivering Pollinated Plants to the Honey Combpressor, a machine run by Onett. Each delivery required at least 10 kg of plants, and once processed for 30 seconds, rewarded the player with 10 Honey. Honey was used as the main event currency, traded directly with the Queen Bee, who refreshed her offers every 30 minutes.
Bee Swarm Events
Every hour, the Queen Bee sent out bee swarms for a short 10-minute event. During this time, bees flew across random plants to pollinate them every 30 seconds, helping players collect more pollinated crops for honey making.
Working Bee Swarm
A rare version of the event could occur — the Working Bee Swarm — with about a 1 in 3 chance to appear instead of the normal swarm. These bees wore tiny builder hats and appeared in multiple colors, sending three bees per cycle to pollinate faster. When active, all Bizzy Bear crafting became 10× faster, making it a key time to craft items efficiently.
Bizzy Bear Crafting
Instead of completing specific fetch quests like in earlier updates, this event introduced Bizzy Bear Crafting, where players could choose what they wanted to make. Each recipe needed certain ingredients — for example, a Flower Seed Pack and 10 Honey could create a Crafter’s Seed Pack. After starting a recipe, players simply waited for the timer to finish before collecting their new item. This replaced the old quest system, giving players more freedom to progress at their own pace while staying involved in the honey theme.
Event Items
The Bizzy Bee Event introduced a wide range of exclusive seeds, items, and cosmetics.
