👴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.
Aging
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.
Endemic Bees: 0.05%, 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.35% or 0.45%
OG Bees
OG bees benefit from a unique bonus: You can adjust their age progression by ±0.1% per energy spent, thus limiting or accelerating the pace of their natural aging.
Endemic Bees: 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.35%
Impact of the Specialization Attribute (Not available at the launch of the aging system)
The allocation of specialization points (earned through level-ups) can influence the aging speed of your bee.
Effect of level-up points allocated to Specialization:
0 to 10 points → Aging unchanged (no aging reduction)
10 to 20 points → −0.05% aging per energy
20 to 30 points → −0.1% aging per energy
30 to 40 points → −0.15% aging per energy
40 to 50 points → −0.2% aging per energy
50+ points → Aging unchanged (no aging reduction)
⚠️ Important: A bee’s aging rate has a minimum floor of 0.1% per energy, regardless of any optimizations applied.
Rejuvenation
Emerald Jelly
Using Emerald Jelly allows you to rejuvenate a bee by 5% to 25%, depending on the amount of Emerald Jelly used.
Emerald Jelly XS = Rejuvenation 5% S = Rejuvenation 10% M = Rejuvenation 25%
Bonus/Malus and Evolution – What is the age effect?
A bee’s age directly impacts its economic performance according to the following ranges:
0% – 54.99%: No impact
55% – 74.99%: +5% bonus on Efficiency and Final Specialization
75% – 99.99%: -7% penalty on Efficiency and Final Specialization
100%: Random role evolution and reset of age to 0%
Important:
When a bee evolves, its role is replaced by a different one from what it previously had.
If the endemic option is enabled, your bee can become endemic. Check the Endemic Bees section to learn more.
The higher the specialization attribute, the slower the growth of the age effect.
Evolution of a Bee
How does an endemic bee evolve?
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: When the age of a bee is greater than 10%, it cannot be sold or transferred.
