Bees belonging to different hives do not cooperate with each other at all. Bees already outside engage from about a screen afar while those still inside all leave the hive immediately and attack regardless of distance (though they give up the chase after 8 seconds if they can't reach their target). Hiveless Bees will pollinate Flowers through dusk since they have no hive to go home to during that time.īoth types of Bees attack in response to a 'cry for help' from a member of their own hive this occurs when a Killer Bee or worker Bee is attacked or caught with a Bug Net. Evil Flowers can also be spread in this manner if a Bee pollinates 6 of them. They can't be forced to spawn Flowers like captive Butterflies, but will do so every once in a while on their own. When their link to a Beehive is severed (either through catch-and-release or by destroying the hive) a Bee will gain the ability to spawn a new Flower after pollinating a minimum of 6 different Flowers. Although they can fly over Walls when neutral, Bees cannot cross the Ocean. If there are no Flowers nearby or if all Flowers are occupied, Bees will sometimes simply land on the ground and wait. The closer the Flowers are to the nest, the faster the Bees will produce Honey however, gathering rate only affects Honey contained in Bee Boxes, the amount is fixed at 3 in Beehives. When they reach a Flower, they will usually land on it for a short time before moving on again. They leave their nest in the morning one at a time at regular intervals and all return home at dusk or when they have collected pollen from 6 different sources. Bees are usually seen traveling between their nest and nearby Flowers during the day.
