# Age & Evolution

## Age of a Bee

The age of an endemic bee plays an essential role in the rewards you can obtain! It is therefore crucial to master the aging and rejuvenation of your bee depending on your strategy.

<summary>Aging</summary>

_How to make a bee age?_

* **Main Bee**

Using an endemic bee **as the main bee** causes its progressive aging.\
The age of the endemic bee increases by 0.25% for each energy spent.

* **Pollen**

Using pollen causes the aging of an endemic bee in increments of 5% to 25%, depending on the amount of pollen used.

* **Genesis Bees**

**Genesis** bees benefit from a unique bonus: You can adjust their age progression by **±0.2% per energy spent**, thus limiting or accelerating the pace of their natural aging.

<summary>Rejuvenation</summary>

**Emerald Jelly**

Using Emerald Jelly allows you to rejuvenate an endemic bee in increments of 5% to 25%, depending on the amount of Emerald Jelly used.

<summary>Bonus/Malus and Evolution – What is the age effect?</summary>

The age of the bee directly influences its economic performance according to the following ranges:

* 0% to 54.99%: No impact
* 55% - 74.99%: **+5% Bonus on Efficiency and** **on Final Specialization**
* 75% - 99.99%: **-7% Malus on Efficiency and** **on Final Specialization**
* **100%:** Random function evolution, and reset of age to 0%

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:**

* _During its evolution, a new function can be added to the one it already had._
* _If the endemic option is activated, your bee can accumulate additional new functions._
* _The higher the specialization attribute, the slower the growth of the age effect._
{% endhint %}

## Evolution of a Bee

<details>

<summary><em>How does an endemic bee evolve?</em></summary>

**Endemic bees evolve when they reach 100% age.**

* They can **accumulate new functions during their evolution.**

- **This evolution is random** and does not follow the natural chronological evolution of bees.

* At each evolution, a new **function can be added to the previous one it already had**, while **its age is reset to 0%.**

- When a function is added to a bee, **all its other attributes remain unchanged.** _(level, efficiency, instinct, specialization, endurance, etc.)_
- If you have not activated the endemic bee option, you cannot accumulate new functions.

> **IMPORTANT NOTE:**\
> &#xNAN;_**When the age of a bee is greater than 10%, it cannot be sold or transferred.**_
