FarmVille Apiary

Bee Hive
One can buy a beehive which will store up to 100 bees. One beehive takes the space equivalent of one plot. One beehive costs 10000 coins and gives you 10 XP on buying. One can sell a beehive for 1000 coins


Bees
One can buy or gift bees in batches of 5. The cost of 5 bees is 500 coins and buying/gifting them gives no XP. Selling bees in batches of 5 earns only 50 coins. Bees need flowers to survive. Absence of flowers on one’s own farm for 2 consecutive days reduces the number of bees owned. Absence of flowers on one’s own farm will reduce the number of bees in two ways.

1.    Being adopted on neighbors farm 20 at a time. When a neighbor visits your farm and your bees are up for adoption [owing to no flowers being planted for more than 2 days]. The neighbor can adopt 20 bees with every visit [which is once in a one day cycle]2.    Kill them because of not being adopted. If your bees are not adopted by your neighbors then they will die

*Bees cannot be put up for adoption. The only way to get rid of them quicker is to sell them at 50 coins per batch of 5 bees


 

Harvesting
One beehive will be ready for harvest when 10,000 honey drops are collected. Harvesting one Beehive will give 10,000 coins and 5 XP

There are two methods of profiting from bees. Honey drops can be collected from only flowers that are ready for harvest.

1.    From Neighbors Farm: One must have neighbors who are growing flowers. Neighbor’s farm needs to be visited to collect honey drops. From neighbors farms each bee can collect 10 honey drops irrespective of type of flowers on the neighbor’s farm. This can be done in the same manner as fertilizing plots. One will be able to collect honey drops from any one neighbor only once in a one day cycle time period [23 hours??] quite like helping / fertilizing a neighbor’s farm. 

2.    From Own Farm: One must have flowers planted in plots on one’s own farm for the bees to survive. Different Flowers yield different number of honey drops for own farm.
