Not to be confused with Bear Bee, an Event bee with a similar name.
Bee Bear is a traveling bear who appears during Beesmas. He is one of the four temporary quest givers, the others being Sun Bear, Gummy Bear and Bubble Bee Man.
In 2018, his quests were focused on creating Presents, which could be later given to NPCs. At the end of his quests, he gave players a special bee, Festive Bee. Alternatively, if the player already had one by buying the Festive Bee Pack or from the Ticket Tent, he gave 500 Tickets instead. He was located in front of the Ant Gate between December 19, 2018, to January 31, 2019.
His second visit was from December 22, 2019, to February 10, 2020. Bee Bear rewarded the player a Cub Buddy after the 10 quests that a player completed, and the Bee Cub after another 5 quests. His quests consisted of a variety of different requirements. Some included collecting Pollen, Tokens, Goo, defeating mobs, putting Ornaments on the Beesmas Tree, and more. He stood in front of the Dandelion Field, next to the Festive Present, the first time that a traveling Bear was not located in front of the Ant Gate.
His third visit was from December 25, 2020, to March 1, 2021. His quests were used to help introduce Beequips. His quests also required completing and using Beesmas Decorations from multiple NPCs, collecting Snowflakes, purchasing items from his Catalog, and delivering Presents. He rewarded players with a Festive Bee ( or 500 Tickets if Festive Bee was already owned by the player) when his first 15 quests were completed, and rewarded a Festive Wreath Beequip for the Festive Bee when all his quests were completed.
His fourth visit was from December 26, 2021, to April 1, 2022. His quests were used to help introduce the new planters, rewarded a special type of his own (Festive Planters), alongside giving players the opportunity to obtain a Cub Buddy (or a Star Treat if already owned) by completing his first 15 quests once again. In the second part of Beesmas, he rewards players a Snow Cub after all of his quests (new ones included) were completed.
His fifth visit was from December 26, 2022, to May 7, 2023. His quests were used to help introduce the Robo Bear Challenge and drives, another new addition in the update. He rewarded players with a Cub Buddy (or a Star Treat if Cub Buddy was already owned by the player) when his first 15 quests were completed. In the second part of Beesmas, he rewarded players a Peppermint Robo Cub after all of his quests (new ones included) were completed.
His sixth visit was from July 17, 2024, to October 29, 2024 (confirmed with an in-game timer). His quests were used to help introduce stickers. After 5 of his quests were completed, he rewarded players a Sticker Planter and a Star Jelly. After 10 of his quests were completed, he rewarded players a Wavy Festive Hive Skin. Upon completing a further 5 quests, he rewarded players a Cub Buddy (Cub Buddy Voucher if the player already owns a Cub Buddy). When completing the final 5 quests, he rewarded players with a Doodle Cub.
His seventh visit was originally for a Roblox event, the Winter Spotlight; however, he remained in the game for a few more months even though the event had ended. His visit lasted from December 17, 2024, at 9-10 pm 2024 to May 1, 2025. The focus was on almost everything in the game, not just one specific concept. The rewards included a Festive Planter, a Cub Buddy, and a Gloomy Cub.
His eighth visit started on December 25, 2025; however, none of his quests were introduced until December 27, 2025, where he gave out ten quests for rewards including a Festive Planter. On January 16, 2026, 5 more quests were introduced for a Cub Buddy (Cub Buddy Voucher if the player already owns a Cub Buddy). On April 23, 2026, the last 5 quests were released, rewarding the player with the Petal Cub skin on completion. The main focus on his quests were Blooms. His visit ended on June 8, 2026, at midnight EST (GMT-5).

1 Dialogue¶
| Quest name | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Beesmas Begins | Ho ho ho hoo! Merry Beesmas!! Happy Honeydays!!! It's me, Bee Bear! The magical half-bee, half-bear winter mascot of Beesmas. Here to spread festive cheer with my jolly crew: Festive Bee, Reindeer Puppy Bee, and Cub Buddy too! Yes, it's Beesmas, the most wonderful time of the year. A time to celebrate our bees. A time for making honey. And a time for handing out [Presents]! If you help me complete my quests, I've got many surprises in store for you. Including [Presents] you can give to the bears around the map for [Ornaments] to hang on the Beesmas Tree! Each [Ornament] on the tree grants special boosts to you and your bees, all winter long! With all the boosts Beesmas has in store, it's never been a better time to play Re://:Swarm! Ho ho! So lets [sic] get to the festivities! We've so much to do. The joy of all the bears and bees on the mountain depends on me and YOU! Convert 400 Pollen into Honey at your hive... Collect 200 Pollen in the Dandelion Field behind me... Collect 200 Pollen from Red Flowers... And collect 10 [Snowflakes], which you'll see fall onto the fields every now and then.
Beesmas is a blessing to every bear, bee and beekeeper. With all the buffs the Beesmas tree provides, honey flows abundantly! NOONE has to go lacking! But to get those buffs, we've got to spread some cheer with these quests. That's how we make the [Presents]!
🎵 We wish you a merry Beesmas 🎵 🎵 We Wish you a merry Beesmas.. 🎵 🎵 We WISH you a merry Beesmas... 🎵 🎵 Full of honey and cheer! 🎵 Splendid work, little one! We're off to a good start. I've got a few rewards for you: A [Royal Jelly], which you can use to transform a bee in your hive into a random type... And a [Gingerbread Bear], which you can use to purchase goods from my extremely generously priced Catalog! Have a look for yourself. To open my catalog [sic] Gingerbread Bear icon on the right of the screen. In there, you can spend [Snowflakes] and [Gingerbread Bears] on all sorts of goodies! I've got everything a beekeeper needs to start making serious moolah. Now let's continue! Complete 1 more quest, and we'll wrap up the first [Present] for you to hand out. |
| Blooms For Beesmas | Collecting Pollen can be quite a chore if you aren't smart about it! But there are so many magical things that really speed things up. Like the Ability Tokens of your Bees! Boosts, Bombs, and so much more. And there's something new and extra useful this year: Blooms! Blooms are big flowers that sometimes pop up on the field. Collect pollen near them to pop them! When they do, their petals will fly into the air. Catch them for honey and special, powerful buffs! Ho ho hoo. Collecting petals is yet another joyful activity that will make this Beesmas truly special. Go test them out to complete your first [Present]: Collect 2,500 Pollen from Blue Flowers... Collect 25 Ability Tokens spawned by your bees... And catch 50 Petals from Blooms!
Catching Blooms of the same color in a short duration increases their power. They reach their maximum potential at 100 stacks. Ho ho! That's a lot of Blooms to catch.
Ho hoooo! I saw you catch those! You're quick! But not as quick as me and my Festive Bee. Each Beesmas night, we fly around the world at 10,000 MPH, delivering gifts to every cub and keeper. I don't mean to brag. Just saying though - we're fast! And we've just completed wrapping up the first [Present]! Take this and deliver it to a bear of your choice. You'll bring them so much Beesmas joy! And they'll give you something very special in return... |
| Time To Decorate | During Beesmas, the bears all work to set up seasonal decorations, which are as useful as they are pretty! But they need YOUR help to compelte them. Beesmas is about teamwork, after all! So for my next quest, you'll need to complete someone ELSES [sic] quest, too. The more decorations you help set up, the more honey you'll be able to make! Because each decoration offers special powerful perks and abilities. Now let's get out there and start sprucing this place up! Collect 20,000 pollen from the Clover Field... Collect 10,000 Pollen from White Flowers... Pop 10 Level 3 Blooms, or higher. Blooms increase in level each time you pop them! Catch 5 Green Bloom Petals, which you'll probably see on the Clover Field... Defeat 1 Spider... Deliver 1 [Present] to a character of your choosing... And complete one other character's Beesmas quest, to set up a special decoration.
Green Blooms grant Critical Chance. Which is absolutely splendiforous! Critical Chance grants your pollen collection and attacks a chance to be doubled in power.
|
| A Season For Stickers | Beesmas is blooming with decorations and joy! The whole map is getting more pretty. So lets [sic] make your hive more pretty, too! Let's find a Sticker, somewhere around the map. You might see them stuck walls [sic]. Collect them to stick on your hive. They [sic] purely cosmetic, but that stuff is important too! Why? Because nobody wants to look at a boring old basic bland hive, silly. Not during Beesmas! That wouldn't be right! We're all trying to look our best out here, for this most wonderful time of the year. Collect 100,000 Pollen from Red Flowers... Catch 50 Bloom Petals... Collect 10 Pink Bloom petals, often found on the Strawberry Field... Collect 100 Bomb Ability Tokens... Collect 50 [Strawberries]... Collect a Sticker... And stick a Sticker onto your hive.
If you find a Sticker, be sure to look it up in the Sticker Index. And try to learn the worth of each one of your Stickers. Some are quite valuable - if you find one used in quests, you could trade it for some cool stuff!
|
| Searching For Snowflakes | [Snowflakes] are so special, and they only appear at this time of year. You can use them to give temporary blessings to all players in your server! They'll be very thankful, because those blessings speed up honeymaking. But think before you use them - because you might want to spend them in my catalog. It's quite a conundrum. Do you save them up for the catalog, or do you use them? I'll let you choose... but you should probably save them. Just saying. Collect 100,000 Pollen from White Flowers... Collect 5,000 Goo by using [Gumdrops] on a field... Catch 50 Bloom Petals in the Spider Field... Catch 50 Bloom Petals in the Pineapple Patch... Pop 10 Level 4+ Blooms... Collect 100 [Snowflakes]... Defeat 5 Mantises, which you can find on the Pineapple Patch and in the Pine Tree Forest... Use Black Bear's Honey Wreath decoration... And purchase 1 offer from Bee Bear's Catalog!
Every bundle in my catalog was meticulously assembled by hand. by [sic] one of my many Festive Bees back at my workshop. There they work all day, 24/7, without even a peep of complaining. Because they live purely to spread the joy of others! Isn't that right Festive Bee? ... That's what I thought. Ho hoo!
|
| Let Beesmas Joy Sprout | Want to know the best way to collect lots and lots of [Treats] and fruits? From Sprouts, of course! They're magical plants that spread gifts all around the field when popped. These spawn every once in a while in the middle of fields. They've got huge spotlights on them, so you can't miss them. They can be quite difficult to pop, so it's best to work as a team! I'm sure other players will just love having you there to collect tokens from their Sprouts. Because Beesmas is about sharing. And who wouldn't want to share with other players??? Collect 250,000 Pollen from the Sunflower Field... Collect 300 Yellow Bloom Petals... Collect 50 Violet Bloom Petals, which are quite rare, but you can sometimes find them on Mushroom, Clover, and Blue Flower field and more. Collect 50 Tokens from Sprouts... Collect 10 Gumdrops Tokens... Defeat 3 Spiders... And defeat a level 5 Snowbear! Talk to Panda Bear to learn more about that.
Violet Petals are a little tricky, but they show up most often in the Clover Field. They grant Super Crit Chance! It's like critical hits for critical hits! And Super Crits even instantly convert! Sounds like magic to me.
Wonderful! Your work out there has helped spread enough joy to manifest yet another [Present]! Deliver it to another NPC to make them really happy, and to make the Beesmas Tree even more powerful. |
| The Presents of Planters | What ARE Planters??? Do you know? Not many do. I gave you some earlier, but do you know how they work? Well, I know! Because I'm magic. And also because I read up on them on the wiki. Listen closely, little one. If you're serious about honeymaking, you NEED to use your Planters. They are the best source of Nectar - special buffs which grant insane multipliers to your pollen and more! Farming without Nectar is like shoveling snow with your hands instead of a shovel. Or like writing a book with a pencil, instead of a computer... Like, you COULD do it, but why would you?? Unless you just like taking 100 times longer to do stuff. Ho ho! Nectar is magic, and magic is joy, and joy is love and love is what Beesmas is all about. Plus, Planters give lots of materials you will need for crafting serious gear. That's where Festive Bee gets all the fruits for her Festive Gifts, you know. So for this next quest, go plant some Planters!
Want to know a jolly little tip for collecting Planter tokens fast? Ho ho! Well, just use a [Paper Planter]! [Paper Planters] may not give great Nectar, but they give plenty of Tokens, and they grow extra fast. Don't forget, you can buy them in the shop near the Pineapple Patch.
🎵 Planter pot, planter pot, planter pot rock 🎵 🎵 They're gonna bring you so many things 🎵 🎵 Wax and Nectar and even a [Treat] 🎵 🎵 That's the Planter pot rocckk ~ 🎵 Ho hoooo! Did you get anything good in those things? Maybe some [Soft Wax]? That stuff is great for crafting even BETTER planters! Now, let's keep spreading that cheer to each and every field. Complete my next quest, and I'll have another [Present] ready for you! |
| Slaying the Slimey Scrooges | The mountain is reall starting to look merry, thanks to you and your bees! But the mountain isn't the ONLY place we need to worry about. Every inch of the universe needs to know Beesmas cheer! And there's one inch which is straight up un-jolly, overrun with nasty scrooges. The Retro Swarm Challenge! A forsaken land, forgotten to time. In there, nasty Zombies and Slimes from the year 2010 are terrorizing the hives, and RUINING Beesmas! They come from a time before Re://:Swarm even existed. A time before the world even knew proper JOY! Sad! And now they've come to destroy our fun in the present. Oh ho no no no, not on our watch. Quickly, take yourself to the purple portal and go clean that place up. Teach that naughty 1x1x1x1 the meaning of Beesmas, by obliterating his forces. If you don't, Beesmas will be ruined, and this [Present] we're working on for you may as well go in the trash!
Reindeer Puppy Bee LOVES the Retro Swarm Challenge. Why? Well, I think it thinks all the Slimes are just giant tennis balls! A world full of smelly rotting Zombies and giant tennis balls?? That's like puppy heaven!
Ho hooo! We're saved! Cub Buddy was so worried, but you saved the day! Not just for destroying those Slimes. But for helping to fund this whole operation through my catalog! Every [Snowflake] and [Gingerbread Bear] spent there goes straight to my quest reward fund for next year Will [sic] a small percentage kept to fund my jolly lifestyle, of course. But that means it's actually YOU who is bringing Beesmas joy to all the Bee Swarm players! And for that, you deserve the next [Present]. Go get yourself another [Ornament], and keep pumping up that Beesmas Tree! I want it to glow bright and gaudy so that the naughty mobs might know its might. |
| Festive Fetching Frolic | This Reindeer Puppy Bee is useless in the fields nowadays. Why so? Well, with all the falling Petals, [Snowflakes], and Beesmas Lights... He just can't stay focused! He loses track of his ball, and keeps chasing random stuff around. But maybe he's got the right idea. You see, those jolly things are great for honeymaking! Blooms, especially, can amplify your boosting to an incredibly [sic] degree! You might even call it magic! The Instant Conversion they provide can present your backpack from filling up too quickly. Especially helpful when you have field boosts and other effects multiplying your pollen Such as the Inspire stacks you obtain from the Falling Beesmas Lights. So go make like a Puppy Bee and try to catch all the stuff you can!
Marigold Petals look like a dark, orangish yellow. Sunflower Field is your best bet for finding them. Although they show up in lots of fields, like Clover and Blue Flower.
🎵 Jingle Blooms, Jingle Blooms, Jingle all the wayyy 🎵 🎵 Oh what fun it is to catch those Petals as they sway!🎵 🎵 Jingle Blooms, Jingle Blooms, Jingle all the wayyyy 🎵 🎵 Unique instant converting will help to save the day! 🎵 Yaaaay! That looked like so much fun. But we don't have time to frolic around forever... We've got many more [Presents] to wrap. So let's get right back into it! |
| An Extra Merry Mission | As a magical half-bee myself, I know how it can be for bees sometimes out there. It's a hard life, digging around in flowers. Shooting lasers out your butt at ladybugs. A thankless life, often. ALL that work for what? A couple hundred thousand [Treats]?? How is a poor little bee supposed to even fit those in its square little body? But it's times like Beesmas that makes it all worth it. Times when the WHOLE world comes together to celebrate these little troopers. Their precious, wobbly little wings. Their derpy, low-resolution faces. They bring us such joy! And they make us a LOT of honey! Let's celebrate them extra hard with this next, more challenging quest. Complete it, and I'll have another [Present], as well as a few more extra special things for you.
Scarlet Petals are quite tricky to spot. They're basically just slightly darker Red Petals. You can find a LOT of them in the Pepper Patch, if you're not a little noobie who can't even go there. But for everyone else, the Rose Field's not a bad option, too. Ho ho!
Ho ho ho! That was faster than I expected! Your bees seem so exhausted! But also fulfilled. That’s exactly where they want to be - a day well lived! And with that, Festive Bee and I have finished a few extra special rewards for you. Cub Buddy helped wrap a little bit too. It’s not very good at it but we try to keep it busy too. Here’s what you earned: a [Present], of course... But also a [Festive Planter]! This is the most special type of single-use Planter of all. It grants TONS of Nectar and crafting goodies. You never know what you might get! And you’ve also earned this: a [Ticket Voucher]! You can redeem 1 [Ticket Voucher] per day for 100 [Tickets]! A pretty decent chunk, if you need it. But you could also trade it. Now, go enjoy your gifts, but return soon. Because I think it might be time for you to start earning a Cub Buddy of your own... |
| The Night Before Beesmas | Twas the night before Beesmas, and all through the flowers... There were beekeepers farming, for hours and hours. Catching those petals, and popping those Sprouts... Spreading Honeyday cheer, without fear or doubts. Until all of a sudden, oh ho ho, what a fright: The Vicious Bee appeared to ruin the night! And it killed every beekeeper, bee, cub and bear... And Beesmas was ruined. Despair. Despair, Despair. ... We can't let that happen. We still have [Presents] to hand out! And we've even got a Cub Buddy just for you. If you complete these next 5 quests. So get out there and save Beesmas! Put that naughty spikey scrooge in its place!
Violet Petals in the Strawberry Field and Grey Petals in the Rose Field are super rare! But don’t lose hope - they spawn with small chances. It might take 10, 50, or 100 Blooms but you’ll find them! They’ll show up eventually, as long as you bee-lieve.
🎵 It's beginning to look a lot like Beesmas 🎵 🎵 Everywhere you gooo 🎵 🎵 There's a spirit in the air, jolly junk is everywhere 🎵 🎵 And there's soooo muuuch snoowww ~ 🎵 Ho ho ho ho hooo! I like snow. Splendid work! Showed that Vicious Bee who's boss! Oh, and that Petal catching - now that was impressive. Your honeymaking moves make even the scroogiest non-beeliever feel the spirit of the Honeydays! Complete 1 more quest, and we'll have another [Present] for you! And complete 4 more quests, and I think this Cub Buddy might want to ditch little ol Bee Bear and hang out with someone cooler. |
| Family Festivities | Beesmas is about celebrating the ones we love most - OUR BEES. But also, we mustn't forget our dear families. Ho ho. That's why every winter I come to this mountain to spend quality time with my dear dear cousin, Polar Bear. But with all the [Present] packing and quest giving and catalog stocking I'm tasked to do, I haven't been able to spend much time with him. Say, why don't you and your bees go pay a visit to my culinarily gifted cousin? Keep him company while Festive Bee and I wrap up your next [Present]. You know, completing his quests for Polar Power is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your bees. Each Polar Power stack permanently increases the maximum energy of your bees. So if you're sick of your lazy bees leaving you hung out to dry, you'll need to whip up some dishes with Polar Bear! And remember, if you complete 4 more quests, there's a Cub Buddy waiting for you!
Advanced beekeepers will have hundreds, even THOUSANDS of stacks of Polar Power! With that much bee energy, your bees will hardly ever have to sleep at all! Considering that bees spend energy every time they gather from flowers or attack an enemy, that's a big help. So do make sure you're spending time with dear Polar Bear. Those Scorpion Salads aren't going to toss themselves!
How is dear Polar Bear doing? He still up there cooking stuff? Ho ho hoo! You could say whipping up magical recipes runs in the family. Except while he's busy baking boring old potatoes and turkeys, I'm cooking up merrily magical [Presents]!Like this one! It's the 6th [Present] I've given you so far. Deliver it with haste, and return for your next quest. The joy of the Honeydays is at stake! So do make sure you're spending time with dear Polar Bear. Those Scorpion Salads aren't going to toss themselves! |
| Black Beesmas | Sometimes I wonder, what would the world look like without Beesmas? Oooohh... I shudder at the thought! A dark, dark world, without the splendorous glow of the Beesmas Tree. No Gift Boxes to open, no [Presents] to hand out, OOOOhhh, cover your ears, Festive Bee! Don't even imagine such horrors! A world without a Cub Buddy, or equivalently valued voucher, to look forward too... A world without the ridiculously cheap offerings in my generous catalog. A world without value! A dark, dark world, which we shall NOT let happen. By the merry might of questing and petal catching, we will preserve Beesmas for all eternity! We will pluck out every petal of sadness, and cast them into oblivion! As the world shifts and shakes and melts away in the inevitable flux of time - BEESMAS will remain. For as long as there is a spark of consciousness in this universe, Festive Bee and I will work diligently in my workshop! For the ONLY thing eternal is the relentless merry might of BEESMAS. By the great Bubble Bee Man in the sky - SO LET IT BE! HO HOOOO!!
Black Petals double the pollen you receive from Bomb abilities! Which sounds like a blessing - although too much Pollen can become a bag-filling curse. But Petals also grant UNIQUE INSTANT CONVERSION! What does that even mean? Well, think of it this way. Before your Pollen even has a chance to go into your bag, the Petal converts 40% of it into Honey immediately! And each type of Petal will perform this independently. If you catch 3 different colored Petals, that means around 78% of all Pollen you collect will be instantly converted for the duration of their buffs. Too confusing? That's alright. Just think of it as MAGIC!
🎵 I'm dreammming, of a Blaaaack Beesmas ~ 🎵 🎵 Where we have finally met our doom 🎵 🎵 Where the mobs, so scary 🎵 🎵 Destroy everything merry 🎵 🎵 And all that remains, is a singular.. sad and lonely... black bloom 🎵 ... Ugh! Enough of all that doom and gloom! We've got [Presents] to wrap, and a Cub Buddy to build! Good work out there, little one! Just 2 more quests until your Cub Buddy is done. |
| Stocking Up On Stickers | Pollen is splendid, and honey's oh so sweet... But there's something else, extra magical, which makes Beesmas complete. Something everyone asked for. And everyone loves! Ho ho! Oh yes, something sticky, and scrappy, and doodly, and just so jolly I can barely stand to look at them. I'm talking about STICKERS! The real reason everyone plays this beekeeping themed game. Stick them to your hive to express yourself, in a very limited fashion. Trade them for Beequips to maximize your profits. Heck, the Cub Buddies themselves are just elaborate stickers brought to life by honeyday magic! Stickers are everywhere! They're stuck to walls, stuffed into Sticker Sprouts, and even given in exchange for eggs at the Sticker Printer. And most importantly, they're sometimes required for quests. Like this one. Don't worry, though. I'll keep it simple. Just a dash of sticker magic to spruce the season up. And in exchange, we'll be able to wrap up yet another [Present] for you to deliver! Ho hoo, sounds fair??
Some stickers are super valuable, worth a bunch of "signs"! What are signs? They're Star Signs! The stickers representing the astrological symbols. Why do Bee Swarm players assign values in signs? Are they weirdly obsessed with semiotics? Ho ho hoo! No, I don't think so. It just happened. Nobody really knows why! Just roll with it!
Marvelous! Merry! I can feel it - the magic of Beesmas emanating off that Sticker you got for me! Now - we'll just extract that magic very carefully... ...(clip clip)... ...(krumple krumple)... Now we have to feed the scraps to Puppy Bee... ...(nom nom nom)... Watch as his nose begins to GLOW! Cool! And what's that, hidden behind his reindeer horns??? It's a [Present]!!! Ho ho! Wow! Here, you take it and give it to someone special. You'll make their day. Then return for an extra special quest... Cause it's time to make your CUB BUDDY! |
| Festive Bee's Trial | Look around, little ones! Look at all the cheer we've already spread! And it's all thanks to YOU and your merry bee crew! Ho hooo! In fact, I think you may have proven yourself worthy for a CUB BUDDY! ... Oh? What's that, Festive Bee? ...(she's buzzing in his ear)... Hmm. You make a good point. Festive Bee says she's just about convinced. But not quite. You see, she pours hundreds of hours of jolly, joyful labor into each and every one of these cubs. She stuffs them with fluff, fills them with cogs, and then performs the secret ritual which brings them to life! It's a lot of work! And she doesn't want all that to go waste on just any old beekeeper. Each Cub Buddy should only be given to one of the chosen HEROES of Beesmas. And right now, you're more of a sidekick. You've spread a lot of cheer, sure. But not, you know, a magically HEROIC amount. But if you complete this final trial, Festive Bee agrees you will have proven yourself worthy! Are you ready to complete this ridiculous quest to prove Festive Bee wrong once and for all? We all want to see you do it! We're all rooting for you! And Beesmas itself depends on it. So go, get out there and make us proud! Or else Festive Bee might just give this Cub Buddy to someone a bit more worthy. You can live up to our expectations!!! As long as you bee-lieve...
This Festive Bee is the most magical one of all. That's why she gets to wear a Festive Wreath! It's a special Beequip which teaches her the Festive Mark ability, which grants boosts and gifts to all players! If you want a Festive Wreath for YOUR Festive Bee, well, you'll need to make this Beesmas truly special. We've hidden one in the Festive Gift Box behind Onett's Lid Art...

Its cuteness will inspired joy year round. Thank you! You have proven yourself to be Bee Bear's most valuable helper. Keep spreading that cheer! And completing those decoration quests!

What could it be? Ho hooo! That's a Bee Bear's secret ~ |
| Presents For Petal Cub (1/5): Daisies | Ho ho! You did it, you earned a plain old Cub Buddy! Sure, it's cute. But what if it could be BEAUTIFUL? As beautiful as a blooming flower... Ooooh, wouldn't that be splendid? Well it can! Through the power of Beesmas, we can yassify your Cub Buddy with pretty pretty petals! But it won't be easy. If you want this year's exclusive [Petal Cub Skin], you'll have to complete 5 brutally bloom-centric quests. Are you ready to catch even MORE petals? I hope so, because Beesmas depends on it. And all the other Honeydays depend on it too. It's April, so let's save Beester while we're at it! Catch petals to save Beester and we'll give you another [Present] to deliver! On your mark, get set, GO!!!!
Petal Cub flower fact: A single daisy is actually made of a bunch of tiny flowers called flourets bounched together. Every petal is it's [sic] own flower, and every yellow thingy in the middle is too. It's like an entire flower swarm - how appropriate! Ho ho ho! -Completion- Petal Cub Buddy sure is sweet, but also a bit hard to please. We'll have to hope these gifts of flower themed stickers will win it over. Wonderful work catching all those white petals, by the way! Each one you catch spawns 100 [Snowflakes] in a different server. In fact, that's where all [Snowflakes] come from. If you stopped catching white petals, it would stop snowing altogether, and Beesmas would be impossible to complete. Complete 4 more quests, and the [Petal Cub Skin] will be yours! |
| Presents for Petal Cub (2/5): Forget-Me-Nots | Petal Cub is a botany expert. It knows more about flowers than any bee, and flowers are all bees think about. Heck, Petal Cub knows more about botany than I do! And I'm magic! Petal Cub taught me that flowers are made of 4 main parts: petals, sepals, pistils, and stamens. Petal Cub also taught me that there are sooo many different types of flowers. Daisies, Sunflowers, Roses and uh... This one other type of flower that's blue... What's it called again? Hmm. I forget, ho ho hoo! Why don't you go pluck a bunch of Blue petals while I try to remember.
Petal Cub flower fact: In real life, blue petals are super super rare. The blue color actually comes from chemically altering red pigments. In fact, they're almost as rare as blue petals are in the Coconut Field. I'd guess it'll take around 200 Blooms to find a single blue petal in there. -Completion- 🎵 Sending you forget-me-nots 🎵 🎵 To help you to remember 🎵🎵 Baby Bee, forget-me-not 🎵🎵 I want you to remember 🎵🎵 Sending you forget-me-nots 🎵🎵 To help you to remember 🎵🎵 Cub Buddy, forget-me-not 🎵🎵 I want you to rememberrr ~ 🎵Ho hoo! What a great song, thank you Patrice Rushen. Circa 1982. Post-disco.OH! And that's what the flower was called: Forget-Me-Not!Fantastic work out there, little one. You're winning over Petal Cub slowly but surely.And you're making the world more merry while you're at it.Complete 3 more quests, and your [Petal Cub Skin] will be ready! |
| Presents for Petal Cub (3/5): Tulips | I remember the day I first met Petal Cub. Reindeer Puppy Bee and I were playing fetch in the Tulip Field when all of a sudden, it popped out of a Bloom! I remember Petal Cub's first words: "Flowers use visual, olfactory, and tactile cues to guide pollinator species. Cues we perceive as emergent beauty! It was a Beesmas miracle!! But ever since, I've been trying to find a home for Petal Cub. My crew is already too big... But this delicate cub requires special care. It can't be overwatered, and it requires plenty of sunlight. That's why we're training you with these extra challenging Petal-themed quests. Complete just 3 more, and I'll feel good rehoming Petal Cub with you and your bees.
Petal Cub flower fact: In the 1600s, a single tulip bulb could cost more than an entire house! Instead of crypto or stocks, people were investing in flowers! Tulips were truly the Cub Buddy skins of their time. -Completion- Marvelous! You tip-toed through the tulips and caught thousands of Petals without even losing your mind! For that, you've earned a very special gift. No, not the [Petal Cub Skin]... It's another [Present]! You know the drill - deliver this to an NPC to make their Beesmas/Beester extra special! After that, return for the last 2 of my quests. The [Petal Cub Skin] is nearly yours! |
| Presents for Petal Cub (4/5): Lilacs | Beesmas is all about celebrating bees, obviously. But when you really think about it, it's about celebrating flowers too! Ho hoo, oh yes! The bees and the flowers go hand in hand. They are an inseparable duo! Flowers attract the bees and grant them the special presents of nectar and pollen. In return, the bees grant the flowering plants the greatest gift of alll: the magic of pollination - OF REPRODUCTION ITSELF! It's the perfect exchange of gifts. And giving gifts is what the honeydays are all about! Do you get it now?? Do you see why petals are so important this Beesmas? It's because without PETALS, the BEES wouldn't even know where to go. They'd be lost. We'd all be lost. This entire mountain, this entire game, can only exist thanks to the magical guidance of FLOWERS and their PETALS. So we need MORE petals. MOOOOORE PETALS!!! Festive Bee, tell the factory to ramp up [Bloom Shaker] production to maximum overdrive! And you, beekeeper - get back out there and start catching if you ever want that [Petal Cub Skin]!
Petal Cub flower fact: A lilac bush can live for HUNDREDS of years. Some lilac bushes are nearly as old as I am! Now that's magic!!! -Completion- 🎵 I don't want a lot of Beesmas...🎵 🎵 There is just one thing I need 🎵 🎵 I don't care about the [Ornaments] 🎵 🎵 Hanging on the Beesmas Tree... 🎵 🎵 Pollen quests are quite alright 🎵 🎵 But they just don't hit as right 🎵 🎵 As catching petals dOOoo... 🎵 🎵 All I want for Beesmas, is BLOOMS!! 🎵 And I got them, ho hoo! Thanks to the work of you and your bees! Your work out there was simply MAGICAL! There's no other way to explain it. And that magic inspired Festive Bee to finish this: a [Present]! That's the last [Present] my jolly crew and I will grant you this Beesmas... But we've one more gift to give you, the most wonderful gift of all. The [Petal Cub Skin]! Complete just one more quest to save Beesmas and earn the most precious Cub Skin we've concocted yet. |
| Presents for Petal Cub (5/5): The Final Bouquet | Look around us, little ones! Look at how fantastically festive every inch of the map has become! Ho hoo! Yes, we've really outdone ourselves this very long Beesmas. And that's all thanks to YOU and your petal catching dedication! In fact, I think you've nearly proven yourself as worthy of caring for a Petal Cub. But not just yet. It's time for our last quest... the merriest mission of all... Let's assemble a grand Beesmas bouquet, by catching a bunch of EVERY type of petal! Only then will you earn your [Petal Cub Skin], and Beesmas will be saved!! We're so so close, don't lose hope now! Let's finalize the festivities, and move on with our year! Goood luuck little one!
-During- Petal Cub flower fact: Bees can see super secret hidden patterns on flowers that us bears and beekeepers are blind to. These patterns are only visible through ultraviolet light. They help guide the bees to the sweet stuff in the middle. That's why we'd never be able to collect as much nectar or pollen as our precious bees can. All the more reason to celebrate them! Ho ho! -Completion- GATHER ROUND FESTIVE BEE, PUPPY BEE, CUB BUDDIES TOO! Take a look at all those PETALS! Our Beesmas dreams have come true! Every bee, bear, and buddy is brimming with cheer. Because the end of our questing is finally here! So thank you, little one, for all you have done. You and your bees sure know festive fun! You funded my magic, through catalog spend [sic]. And popped every bloom needed until the very end. So take this dear Petal Cub, and treat it just right. Merry Beesmas to ALL, and to ALL a good night! |

Tips¶
- Use field boosters whenever possible. They help with collecting pollen, these can also be stacked using present rewards or codes. If necessary, using crafting material boosts can also help.
- Collect honey tokens from sprouts, honeystorms, and the Stick Bug Challenge. Players can summon a honey storm using the Honey Storm Summoner near Brown Bear every 4 hours or use the Special Sprout Summoner every 16 hours near the Red HQ. Stick Bug, Stick Nymphs, and Stick Bug's Defense Totems also drop honey tokens so collect those too. This applies to A Pinch Of Magic and Honeyday Harvest. Many of Bee Bear's quests (All I want for Beesmas is Goo, Unsilent Night, and A Beesmas Miracle) also require special tokens (Gumdrops/Moon Charms) that require active firefly hunting or sprout planting.
- Use the Glue Dispenser. If the player doesn't have a Gummy Bee but has a Goo Hotshot badge, use a Field Booster and then the Glue Dispenser in Gummy Bear's Lair. Using it gives the player the Unlimited Gumdrops buff that, when coupled with a field booster, would help the player with the goo requirements in Festive Bee Workshops 1 and 3, as well as in All I Want for Beesmas is Goo.
- Give presents to NPCs. If an NPC gives a Field Boost that the player needs for a quest, they should give them a present if they haven't yet. In 2018, players could only give a present to Onett after completing all of his Star Journey quests. Gifted Bucko Bee, Gifted Riley Bee, and Stick Bug require a Translator before a present can be given to them.
- Use Magic Beans to summon Sprouts. In some of Bee Bear's quests, it is required to collect special treats such as strawberries. Sprouts are the best way to collect special treats. Sprout drops are varied towards the field it is in. For example, a sprout found in the Strawberry Field will drop more strawberry tokens than any other treat. Sprouts are especially useful for Festive Bee Workshop 3. Some of Bee Bear's 2019 quests also required tokens from sprouts.
- Avoid defeating any mobs that take a long time to respawn if one of Bee Bear's upcoming quests requires completing Polar Bear quests. This includes mantises, scorpions, spiders, and werewolves. Otherwise, the player may have to wait longer to complete these quests due to their cooldowns.
- Server-hop for Rogue Vicious Bees, Wild Windy Bees, and Bean Bugs. This is as many of Bee Bear's Cub Buddy quests require tokens from Wild Windy Bee or the defeat of Wild Windy Bee.
- Place planters in specific fields ahead of time if you know you will need to harvest hours' worth of nectar in an upcoming quest.
- During Beesmas Summer 2024, trade in the Hive Hub as much as possible to get all the stickers required for Bee Bear's quests.

In your darkest hour, he'll be your light!" is telling players to go to the 30 Bee Zone at night, do the Moon Charm Parkour, and talk to Bubble Bee Man in the 30 Bee Gate to get the final event quest: 'B.B.M.

- The quest title, 'Bee-liz Honey-dad,' refers to 'Feliz Navidad,' ('Merry Christmas' in Spanish) a popular Christmas song. Similarly, 'White Beesmas', 'Black Beesmas' and 'Blue Beesmas' are all an allusion to the classic Christmas song (and movie), 'White Christmas,' and 'All I Want For Beesmas Is Goo' references the song, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'. Also, the quest titles, "Walking In A Windy Wonderland" and "Shopping In A Winter Wonderland" are references to the song 'Walking In A Winter Wonderland'.
- Bee Bear is bilingual, or at least knows enough Spanish to rewrite the "Prospero año y felicidad" ("prosperous year and happiness"), a line of 'Feliz Navidad' to "Osos felices, esa es la verdad" ("happy bears, that's the truth").
- The dialogue in 'All I Want For Beesmas Is Goo' referenced hidden tokens in the Beesmas Tree.
- In Festive Wreath Workshop 8, Bee Bear says "Have you ever seen Monsters Inc? The Pixar movie? Well, you know how the monsters charge up batteries by scaring children? Ho ho ho, well what we're doing is basically that, but the opposite! We charge up our festive powers through spreading pure joy! ... Festive Bee has just informed me that the monsters end up charging their batteries through laughter. So basically the same thing we're doing. Please don't sue us Pixar! Ho ho ho ho!", which is a direct reference to Monsters. Inc.
- The completion dialogue for the quest Merry Mechsquitos is a reference to the song “Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms.
