Mortar Bee update

Mortar Bee update

Released: September 18, 2026

A new Mythic bee, new bag models, the Honeycomb Blueprint and many fixes.

What's new

  • New Mythic bee: Mortar Bee, "A lazy artillery bee who would rather shell the field than work." More info is in the in-game Index.
  • New pack: Mortar Bee Pack, with two Mortar Bee Eggs, a Flying Mortar Bee sticker, a Happy Mortar Bee sticker and an Explosion sticker.
  • New sticker: Flying Mortar Bee, a rare drop from Mortar Bee's shells.
  • New item: Honeycomb Blueprint, a free permanent item unlocked at Rebirth 10. Open it from your inventory to rearrange your hive: tap a bee, then another slot, to swap them. Bees keep their gift, mutations, levels and Beequips when moved. Zoom in and out to see more of your hive.
  • New models for every bag (see them in the shops).
  • Bucko Bee and Riley Bee quests now give a permanent stacking buff: +0.01x blue pollen (Bucko Stack) or +0.01x red pollen (Riley Stack) per quest completed.
  • Added a skip option to the Tutorial.
  • Buying a Basic Egg auto-hatches it if you have an empty hive slot.
  • New settings: Festive Gifts toggle (sound and popup) and Loot Popups toggle (all loot popups).

Changes

  • Bucko and Riley quests scale much harder and go further into the endgame.
  • Refreshed styles for all tool stickers, and made them about 10x easier to get.
  • Shop restock every 7 days > every 2 days.
  • Changes to endgame Melittology requirements.
  • Rebirth quests are given automatically.
  • Removed the Ant Challenge from Rebirth 5.
  • All Memory Match cooldowns halved.
  • Mortar Bee now deals area damage at 50% of its attack, and is more likely to shoot at other bees.
  • Mortar Bee converts 5% of current pollen per bee, instead of 10k + bee conversion x (6% + 6% per boost stack).

Fixes

  • Fixed collector tools breaking apart or having gaps when your avatar is scaled down.
  • Fixed floating tool parts (Gummyballer ball, Tide Popper orbs) being pulled around when another player walked into them.
  • Fixed the Honey Hammer taking your head.
  • Fixed some tools having collision.
  • Fixed some hive issues.
  • Fixed click-to-turn-in on Melittology quests.
  • Fixed not being able to peel vouchers off your hive.
  • Fixed Memory Match.
