# How to Mint?

**Give Birth to a New Bee**

1. Select **2 Worker Bees** to initiate the process.
2. At least one of the two must be **Level 16 or higher** for the mint to be possible.
3. Each Worker Bee can participate in a maximum of **9 mints** during its lifetime.
4. A **36-hour cooldown** applies to your account after each mint *(rest time before a new reproduction)*.
5. The minting cost is variable and depends on several factors. It will become dynamic following the **$HELT LP launch**.

**Larvae**\
At the end of the minting process, you receive a larva, ready to transform into a bee.

Two options are available to you:

1. **Immediate Transformation:** You can transform your larva into a young bee instantly and for free.
2. **Incubation:** You may choose to incubate it *(a strategic feature offering numerous advantages)*. *<mark style="color:red;">(Currently unavailable)</mark>*
