Rewards¶
The reward will vary depending on the number of quests the player has completed. Rewards will always contain one Blue Extract and Honey.
Bucko Bee's "Petals" quest rewards a Bloom Shaker.
The amount of honey the player receives when completing a quest is based on this table, where Q is the number of quests the player has completed plus 1. Only the highest value in the table is taken.
| Quest Milestone | Honey Amount |
|---|---|
| Every 100th quest | \(25,000,000\times Q\) |
| Every 5th quest | \(2,500,000\times \left\lfloor Q^{0.95}\right\rfloor\) |
| All other quests | \(1,000,000\times \left\lfloor Q^{0.9}\right\rfloor\) |
In addition to Blue Extract and Honey for completing each quest, certain thresholds may reward other items as well:
- If the player has reached a quest milestone, they're given a reward based on the below table:
| Quest Number | Reward |
|---|---|
| 3 |  5 Moon Charms

|
| 250 | 1 Gifted Diamond Egg
Access to the |
| 500, 750, 1000 | 1 Gifted Diamond Egg

| Bucko Bee's Snow Machine |
Winter is when Blue Bees truly excel. We crave the crisp, cool air. We thrive in the soothing snow. But sometimes winters are just a bit too mild for our liking. That's why this year, we're giving nature a helping hand. With this Snow Machine, we'll be able to summon Snow Storms on command! Unfortunately, construction is still under way. If you and your swarm pitch in, we should have it operational in no time. Time to paint this Beesmas white and blue.
N/A
Beautiful! The Snow Machine is just about ready to go. Just a few more adjustments and... It's online! Now that's cool. Using the Snow Machine, you'll be able to summon Snow Storms on command every 2 hours. Think of all those [Snowflakes]. I bet your friends will really appreciate it too. We here at the Blue HQ can't thank you enough. Now it's time to enjoy our Blue Beesmas! |

- This Bee is the only quest bee to reside indoors, though Gifted Riley Bee resided indoors too before an update.
