### ***1. Pollen Yield (HELT Lock)***

Pollen Yield allows users to **earn Pollen by locking $HELT tokens** in the Imperial Hive.

**🔒 How it works**

* The user chooses a **lock duration** for their $HELT
* During this period, the tokens are **immobilized**
* In return, **Pollen is generated every day**

**⏱️** The longer the lock period, the higher the daily Pollen rate.

* **7 days** → **0.10 Pollen / day** per **$1 in HELT** locked
* **14 days** → **0.12 Pollen / day** per **$1 in HELT** locked
* **30 days** → **0.15 Pollen / day** per **$1 in HELT** locked

👉 **Longer duration = higher daily yield**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

* Locked $HELT **cannot be used** for the chosen duration
* The HELT/$ rate is fixed at the time of locking and remains unchanged for the entire lock period.
* Pollen is generated **automatically every day at 00:00 UTC**
* At the end of the lock, you **recover your $HELT**

### ***3. Synergy #5***

**Synergy #5 allows the user to benefit from additional Pollen collection.**

This synergy is based on the **combined level of the three forager bees** that make up the team, in order to determine the **collection rate per energy point**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warning**: activating Synergy #5 comes **at the expense of $CATKN, $HELT and Nectar earnings**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
🌦️ **Local weather may influence collection** *(feature coming soon)*.
