👴Age & Evolution
A bee’s age plays a crucial role in the rewards you can obtain and in your pursuit of an Endemic Bee.
🦕 Aging
Natural Aging
Using a bee as your Main Bee leads to its gradual aging. Its age increases by 0.3% per energy spent.
Nurturer Bees age much faster, at 0.6% per energy spent.

💡 In the future, Support Bees may also be affected by aging once more than 45 energy points are held.
Artificial Aging
Pollen
Using Pollen allows you to artificially age a bee in increments ranging from 5% to 25%, depending on the amount of Pollen used.
This gives users the ability to reach age-related bonus thresholds more quickly — or even reach the maximum age (100%) faster to attempt obtaining an Endemic Bee.

The cumulative "artificial" ageing of all your bees cannot exceed 25% per day.
Modulated Aging
The ageing of Genesis & OG Bees can be adjusted from one run to another, depending on the strategy you adopt.
Genesis Bees
You can adjust their age progression by ±0.2% per Energy spent, thereby slowing down or accelerating their natural ageing rate.
Nurse Bees: 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7% or 0.8% Other Functions: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4% or 0.5%
OG Bees
You can adjust their age progression by ±0.1% per Energy spent, thereby slowing down or accelerating their natural ageing rate.
Nurse Bees: 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7% Other Functions: 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%
🐢 Slow Down Aging

Specialization points obtained through Level Ups will eventually be able to influence your bee’s ageing speed.
Each point invested in specialization will act as a strategic lever, allowing you to modulate its ageing rate.
🎯 Direct Effect: Specialization points allocated will reduce the ageing speed.

⚠️ A bee’s ageing rate cannot be reduced below 0.1% per Energy, regardless of any optimization applied.

🦠 Age Effect: Bonuses/Penalties and Evolution
A bee’s age directly influences its economic performance according to the following thresholds:
0% to 54.99%: No impact
55% – 74.99%: +5% bonus to Efficiency and Final Specialization
75% – 99.99%: −7% penalty to Efficiency and Final Specialization
100%: Random function evolution, and age reset to 0%
🧬 Bee Evolution
In nature, each worker bee changes roles throughout its life, based on age and experience. The Life Bomb draws inspiration from this natural mechanic to bring your in-game bees to life.
Worker Bees evolve once they reach 100% age.
They may remain Worker Bees or become Endemic Bees.
This evolution is random and does not follow the natural chronological role progression observed in real bees.
At each evolution, the bee’s function is replaced with a different one from the role it previously held, while its age is reset to 0%.
When a bee’s function changes, all its other attributes remain unchanged (Level, Mint, Efficiency, Instinct, Specialization, Endurance, etc.).
If you enable the Endemic Bee option, there is a 1 in 6 chance that your Worker Bee will evolve into an Endemic Bee.
Please refer to the Endemic Bees section for more information.
When a bee’s age exceeds 10%, it can no longer be listed for sale or transferred.
