Emoticons¶
Emoticons are a mechanic for showing a bee's mood. The mood can affect how much bond a bee gets when it collects pollen[1], bee movespeed[1], and can even enable some bees to find certain stickers when collecting. It does not affect other stats, such as pollen collection rate or honey conversion speed.
Bee Moods¶
A bee will express happiness if it is fed a treat or if it is working (or most recently was working) in a field that it likes. Bees gain extra bond from gathering when working in a field they like and also move slightly faster than usual[1]. Precise Bee will also express happiness when it shoots all the targets during its Target Practice ability.
A bee will express unhappiness if it is working in a field it dislikes or if the last field it worked in was one it dislikes. Bees gain less bond from gathering in fields they dislike, but do not move slower than usual.
Field Preferences¶
Note: Bee preferences will remain unchanged after leaving a field, only updating after entering another.
