Topic: [32319] Missing Bees Event

It's not just about drop rates, it's time that you have to watch.

Sunflower that give you 1 drop in 8 hours as opposed to the 5 - 6 from violets in the same amount of time if you only use 1 field.  I have 9 fields currently.

Doesn't make a lot of sense (at least to me) to use 30+ Violet seeds just to "win" 20 Rose seeds and a few XP though. Or to "Trade" 10+ Sunflower Seeds for 20 Rose Seeds. Why bother?

I plant wheat overnight and do corn during the day, and I've never failed to get all the bees before the end of the event. If anything, I'd wait until the last day of the event to use a few violet seeds to get the last bee or 2 (if it came to that).  But to speed through it in 5 hours with a bunch of special seeds "just" to finish it as fast as possible? Why?

I bother because I am still leveling up the achievements for planting/growing roses/violets.


Also because I need all the time I can get to do other events, without this event interfering with the other event or the drop rates

That's what I do.  I always plant wheat overnight, and corn during the day when I'm on, and almost never fail to get all the bees.  Not about to trade valuable event seeds for less valuable ones.

One of the players says they have had to collect bees twice...is this possible?  and do it again?

You will find that planting sunflowers before bed you will wake up and harvest all the bees if you have 10 fields.

True, but sunflower seeds are far more valuable than rose seeds, which is what you win. I find I can manage to get all 10 bees with corn and regular alfalfa (when I'm on), and wheat overnight. Takes about 3 days.

@fastpat (US1)  I have never heard of that happening - Once you have collected all the bees you get the reward, but the event still stays on your farm until it ends.

yes once you collect all the bee's you get you reward, it's not a really good reward but you don't have to do much to collect the bees.
