0:01Blue hives are one of the three main
0:03honeym hives that you're going to see.
0:05And quite honestly, they're the best out
0:08of the three. Now, you may be thinking
0:10to yourself, there's no way. I mean,
0:13white hives make the most honey by far.
0:15And although you may be right, white is
0:19extremely expensive, and most people
0:21aren't ever going to be able to afford
0:23the requirements for it. On the other
0:25hand, there's red, and it's pretty well
0:27balanced for everything. I mean, it's
0:29good at RBC, decent for honeym, and good
0:32at damage. So, why do I say blue is the
0:36best?
0:38Quite honestly, it comes down to its
0:40simplicity. Its simplicity makes it far
0:43different from the other colors. The
0:45possibility of making so much honey so
0:48easily without having to do nearly as
0:50much as red or white do is complete
0:52bliss. And for most people, they won't
0:56be able to afford the extreme cost of
0:58red or white, and blue is easily going
1:00to outshine them in this case.
1:02On top of that, blue isn't necessarily
1:05bad at anything in the game either. And
1:07despite what early reds may tell you,
1:10it's good enough at stick bug to get on
1:12the daily leaderboard, not hard to
1:14compete in RBC, and you need at least
1:18one blue for puff runs. Anyways,
1:21this guide is completely based off the
1:23Bluehive Guide 101, which I wrote along
1:26with the help of some others. The link
1:28to this will be in the description, so
1:31please check it out if you can. And if
1:33this guide helps you in any way, please
1:36like and subscribe and join the Discord
1:39server. The link will be in the
1:41description and the link is also right
1:44here in the actual document. Thank you
1:46and enjoy the video. So, how do you
1:50become blue? And that's exactly what
1:52I'll be talking about in this video. You
1:55won't immediately be able to afford all
1:57the mythics you need. So, you're going
1:58to want to be early blue first. The only
2:01real requirement to be early blue is to
2:04have a supreme star amulet with the pop
2:06star passive. And your hive should look
2:09a little something like this. Due to not
2:12being able to afford the mythics, you're
2:13going to have to rely on bubble and
2:15frosty bees. The exact amount doesn't
2:17matter too much, but you want at least
2:19three frosty bees for the blue boost
2:22upkeep. And otherwise, bubble bees are
2:25actually better due to helping with the
2:27bloat and the fact that bubbles collect
2:28more than bombs do. And ideally, you
2:31should have these bubbles gifted for a
2:33higher chance to spawn these bubbles,
2:35but it's not a complete necessity.
2:38The reason that you're going to have
2:39baby bees is that you likely will not
2:42have many, if any, gifted tadpoles.
2:45Without the gifted tadpoles, you're
2:47heavily lacking in baby love tokens,
2:49which give times two pollen, and the
2:51replacement for it is going to be these
2:53baby bees. When you get more gifted
2:56tadpoles, you should be replacing the
2:58baby bees at a rate of one baby bee per
3:00about 1.5 gifted tadpoles, or two per
3:04three gifted tadpoles. You're generally
3:06going to be filling very fast as early,
3:09and it's mainly due to the lack of point
3:11bees and bloat. This is why cobalt is in
3:14the hive. If you still fill super fast,
3:16you can keep Photon and Gifted Demon for
3:19the moment and replacing them later when
3:21you become an actual blue hive. Also, if
3:24you don't have a thousand polar power,
3:26you can keep gifted vicious speed to
3:28reach it faster. It's absolutely not a
3:31necessity. There's absolutely no need
3:34for any non-blue mythics or high levels,
3:37and you should be completely focusing on
3:39getting your mythic bees first at this
3:41stage. After you finish this early blue
3:44hive, you should be going for mythics,
3:46and you should be trying to achieve a
3:47hive that looks something like this.
3:50This is also the time you should be
3:51going for levels, gifting, and the
3:54better SSA. After you get all 50 slots,
3:57you have two main goals. And the first
4:00one is going to be to go to for a five
4:02out of five solo passive SSA. You should
4:05be around level 15 to 16 at this time.
4:08And the chance for it is 1 in 756,
4:12which is going to cost around 7.56
4:15trillion.
4:17The second is to gift your bees. And the
4:20first way to do this is by buying
4:21tickets from the ticket shop to buy star
4:23trees with. You can stop doing this when
4:26your tickets exceed around four trill
4:28for 500 tickets. However, if it's still
4:32cheap for you, don't be scared to go
4:34higher, but be wary as the price can
4:36increase fast. Some other options for
4:39gifting can include gifting with
4:41blueberries, which have a 1 in 24,000
4:44chance to gift Mythic Bees, getting star
4:48treats with tickets from passive gain,
4:50which is mostly from wealth clock, but
4:52it can be from king beetle, tunnel bear,
4:55mantis, werewolf, or more. Bug running
4:58for tickets or berries can be helpful to
5:00do when you're going for a thousand
5:02polar power, but if you do that, it'll
5:04completely ruin your honeym if you focus
5:07on that entirely. Another thing you can
5:09do is use gingerbread bears, both aged
5:12and normal. However, if it's beesmiss,
5:15you should make sure that you have the
5:16important packs first, such as the 50
5:18super smoothies pack, as it can save you
5:21a lot of time later on. Lastly, you can
5:24also just use royal jelly. It has 1 in
5:276.25 million chance for a random gifted
5:30mythic bee. And that's around 6.25
5:33trillion honey worth of royal jelly.
5:36Now, going back to the hive, you should
5:39not be following this hive one to one as
5:42there are a lot of changes that could be
5:45made. Now, before I go into what changes
5:47you can make, keep note of these two
5:50main things.
5:52Not all of these changes are going to
5:54help you. They may even reduce your
5:56honeym and you're going to need to test
5:58it for yourself. And if you don't have
6:01barbe, you need to trade for it. Not
6:04having barbe is automatically losing out
6:06on like 1.75 times your honeym, possibly
6:11even more. It's completely detrimental.
6:14Now, when you're replacing or adding
6:16bees, you should be adding or replacing
6:18buoyant bees, unless you need to swap a
6:21bee that just isn't working for you to
6:23another one.
6:25And to start off, we have shy and lion
6:28bees. Now, these bees aren't usually
6:31that good, and usually adding another
6:34tadpole is better until you have around
6:3612 or more tadpoles already. Now, the
6:39issue with that is that at that point,
6:42you should be looking at other things to
6:44help with your fill, such as gifting
6:45your bees or getting better amulets.
6:48Not to mention, Lion Bee is also
6:51completely useless if your hive is
6:53ungifted. With windy bee, it's pretty
6:56simple. If you can run tad alts, then
6:59you should keep it. If not, then it's
7:01going to be useless. Digital bee is a
7:04weird case. I mean, it's not nearly as
7:07good as it is in red and white hives.
7:10Although it's one of the best bees in
7:12the game, blue generally doesn't need
7:14it. To run digital while macroing, you
7:16need to run a pattern that was made for
7:18digital, as well as having the max
7:20amount of blue and white drives, and you
7:23also want around half or the max amount
7:25of glitch drives. Now, on the other
7:27hand, if you're boosting or manually
7:29playing for an extended amount of time,
7:31it's an absolute must-have. Puppy B is
7:34one of the main bees that people often
7:36swap. It's a bee you should generally
7:38have if you're below level 18 for
7:40leveling purposes. After level 18, you
7:42can remove it, but make sure to get it
7:44back when you level to higher levels to
7:46save out on a ton of honey. On top of
7:48that, if you have the reindeer antlers
7:50bequip, it can give up to a 1.1 times
7:53boost in capacity if you max out the
7:55buff. The bee equip itself can also get
7:57a capacity high bonus, and it's rather
8:00cheap to buy if you're looking for one
8:02with a low high bonus. If you're
8:04overfilling, there are a few bees you
8:06could swap. I mean, for one, you could
8:08think about removing some bees that are
8:10there mainly for fill purposes. The
8:12least helpful of them all is fuzzy bee.
8:15And the only reason it's even in the
8:17main comp is because most macro servers
8:20still require it because of the pollen
8:21haze. If you macro with friends or a
8:24trusted group, then not even everybody
8:27needs one. You can get away with only
8:29having two to three in an entire server.
8:32On top of that, if you have an alt, it's
8:35just completely useless.
8:37The only time you should really be
8:39removing Lucar bees is if you have dire
8:41overfilling problems. Of course, you
8:44should try to do other steps to fix this
8:46first, which those will be addressed
8:48later. Now, remember that if you kill a
8:51looker, you may need to find another way
8:53to get another focus token from
8:55somewhere else. You could also think
8:57about adding exhausted bee as it gives
8:59roughly 4% more capacity in pine tree
9:02field. Despite the main hive having 10
9:04tadpoles, you don't need to strictly
9:07have this number. If you are having
9:09trouble filling, you can think about
9:11going as high up as 13 tadpoles.
9:15Although, if you're at 13 and still
9:17don't fill properly, then you should
9:20really be looking at other ways to help
9:21fill. On the contrary, you can go down
9:24to as low as seven if you're
9:26overfilling, and going lower than that
9:28is also generally just not recommended.
9:31The last I'll be going over is music be.
9:34The amount of them you have is generally
9:36strongly tied to your bequips and polar
9:38power. If you have low polar power, for
9:40example, you may think about going up to
9:43five music bees. If you have high polar
9:45power as well as bequips to make up for
9:47the missing tokens of replacing the
9:49music bees, you could go down to three.
9:51Another thing that can help you keep
9:53consistent tokens with only three music
9:55bees are bar and BMS mutations. The only
9:58time you should ever go under three is
10:01if you're super rich and can afford the
10:02bequips to swap more. Although this has
10:05its issues, too, like taking up valuable
10:07bequip slots. Now, there is one other
10:11mainstream blue comp that you could
10:13possibly run, and it's called Diamond
10:16Hive. Now, please keep in mind that this
10:19is only meant for people who can fill
10:21properly with a high balloon blessing.
10:24This generally is going to mean that you
10:26need alts to run it. Now, the comp
10:29itself works by replacing 7 to 11 of
10:32your bees for diamond bees. The reason
10:34you use diamond bees instead of others
10:36is because of their passive, shimmering
10:38honey. It gives you a 50% bonus honey
10:42plus 5% per level on top of that for a
10:45grand total of 150% bonus honey at level
10:4920. This helps the hive balance pollen
10:52collected with how much is converted due
10:54to a soft cap in balloons. Now, this
10:58soft cap is basically how much pollen
11:00you can have in your balloons before
11:02deflation makes it difficult to get
11:03more. If you can reach this soft cap,
11:06then adding more pollen collection or
11:08buoyant bees for more balloons becomes
11:10near useless, having you resort to
11:12making more honey from converting, which
11:15in this case is from these diamond bees.
11:17Your soft cap is generally going to be
11:19around 25 times your capacity in field.
11:23The next way you can increase your
11:25honeymur are mutations.
11:28Now, there is a small issue, and it's
11:30that you aren't going to be able to
11:32reach the maximum numbers with lower
11:34level B's. It's generally recommended to
11:37get mutations between levels 18 and 21,
11:40as they have a higher chance to get
11:41higher values for these mutations.
11:44Another issue is that if you plan to
11:46swap hives, these may be completely
11:48useless as you're going to be replacing
11:51the majority of them. There are six main
11:53mutations that are going to be talked
11:54about and they include BMS or B move
11:59speed which goes up to plus 6 bar or B
12:03ability rate which goes up to plus 5%.
12:06Now keep in mind that 5% is only
12:09possible with level 21 or higher bees.
12:11If you have lower level bees, you aren't
12:14going to be able to get that 5%. CC or
12:17crit chance which goes up to 3%.
12:21Convert or convert amount which goes up
12:24to plus 80 numerical or plus 30%age.
12:29With level 20 bees you can get a max of
12:32plus 26%.
12:34And level 21 gives plus 27%
12:38IC or instant conversion which goes up
12:40to plus 20%. gather or gather amount
12:44which goes up to plus 30%. Now,
12:47mutations on legendary, epic, and rare
12:50bees should be gotten with royal jelly
12:52and not bitter berries. For example, if
12:55you're rolling for a music be with bar,
12:58then you should be getting an ungifted
13:00one with royal jellies and then gifted
13:02blueberries.
13:03This is a lot more cost effective and
13:06bitter berries should be saved for
13:08mythic or event bees. Starting off,
13:11point B should have convert mutations.
13:13Whether it's an additive or percentage,
13:15it doesn't really matter. It goes back
13:18and forth on which is better depending
13:20on the value. These are by far the
13:23cheapest and most effective mutations
13:24for buoyance. Although, you could think
13:27about getting bar BMS. And out of the
13:29two, BMS is generally going to be better
13:32because it allows you to convert faster.
13:34However, if you're on diamond hive, bar
13:36is the best mutation as both convert and
13:40BMS will steal converts from your
13:42diamond bees, which is ultimately going
13:44to lose you out on some honey. Tadpool
13:46bees should generally have BMS.
13:49In order of importance for their
13:51mutations, it's BMS, which is better
13:54than bar, which is better than crit
13:56chance, which is better than convert.
13:59BMS is on the top for three main
14:02reasons. First, padpoles originally have
14:05really low move speed, which allows it
14:08to get buffed more than regular bees
14:10with this mutation. Second, it also
14:13indirectly affects bar, allowing them to
14:15summon slightly more summoned frog
14:17tokens and a noticeable amount more blue
14:19boost tokens, which allows for faster
14:22pop stars.
14:24And third, it also indirectly affects
14:26how often you gather, allowing you to
14:28produce more gathering bubbles, which is
14:30the bee's passive ability.
14:34Bar on the other hand is good for more
14:36summoned frog tokens. But the issue with
14:39this is that tadpoles are hardcoded to
14:41only have one frog at a time, which
14:43makes BMS have the advantage as you
14:46don't need bar to have one frog nearly
14:4824/7. Instant convert can be good if
14:51you're overfilling, but there are so
14:53many other ways to combat this issue
14:55that you really don't need to waste a
14:57mutation on it, which is why it's not
14:59even listed.
15:01Next, Tabby and Gummy Bee should stick
15:04to convert mutations, ideally the plus
15:07percentage. Now, if you run diamond
15:09hive, they should definitely have bar.
15:12And on top of this, you can actually
15:13keep gummy be unmutated in diamond hive,
15:16because with stack, having any mutation
15:19gives it a plus 10% convert by default.
15:22The reason Tabby should have a mutation
15:24and gummy shouldn't is because Tabby
15:27actually produces tokens that are
15:28helpful. Whereas gummy bees tokens are
15:30not useful for blue at all.
15:33Best benefits more with convert amount
15:35as its mutation and diamond hive it
15:38should obviously have bar. Diamond bees
15:41should always have a convert amount
15:43percentage mutation. For every other
15:45bee, they should have either BMS or bar.
15:48bar is going to be better for the bees
15:50that have tokens with long cooldowns,
15:52whereas BMS is better for tokens with
15:54short cool downs. I'll link a
15:56spreadsheet underneath if you wish to
15:58see the base cool down for tokens. And
16:01you should be looking at the TGC column.
16:03The main B that should have bar over BMS
16:06is bear B and festive B if you run
16:08Diamond Con. For music bees, you can
16:11think about running half and half with
16:12bar and BMS for balanced focus and
16:15melody benefit. Bar helps more with
16:18melody whereas BMS helps more with
16:20focus. Digital B should have either bar
16:23or gather amount depending on the use
16:25case. You can often times keep digital
16:27unmutated, especially if you plan to
16:29only add it for a boost or two or just
16:32to do drive runs. The only time digital
16:35should realistically have gather is if
16:37you're doing lots of round 20 plus runs
16:39for either glitch drives or amulets.
16:42Otherwise, bar is better in basically
16:45every other circumstance, such as
16:46boosting or macroing. As for your
16:48mutation order, if you're using bear
16:50berries, you should generally follow
16:52this order, where tads come first, and
16:55then your tabby, and then bear, then
16:58festive, then gummy, and lastly, your
17:01buoyance. With royal jelly, the order
17:04doesn't matter too much as they're all
17:05pretty cheap anyways. But you should
17:07always mutate your music and diamond bee
17:09first. Bumblebee is also rather
17:12important because it has the exact same
17:14passive ability as tadpole, gathering
17:16bubbles. On the other hand, some bees
17:18like Bumble and Stubborn aren't as
17:20important. Moving on from mutations, we
17:22have bee equips. Now, these can be some
17:25of the most important things in a good
17:27hive. There's a total of 41 beequips in
17:30the game, and I'm only going to be
17:31talking about half of them in this
17:32video. Now, keep in mind that this
17:35doesn't mean that the others are
17:36useless, as they may all have their use
17:38cases. Starting off, there are seven
17:40necessary B cups for blue, and it's
17:42going to total to nine slots taken. The
17:45first, and definitely the most important
17:47of all of them are pine cones. These
17:49give pine tree field capacity, which
17:52will also increase the capacity your
17:54balloons have in the field. On top of
17:56that, they also give pine tree field
17:58pollen, which should be self-explanatory
18:00what it does and why it's helpful. Now,
18:02these bee quips make pine tree easily
18:05the best field to macro and boost in by
18:07far. You should be using these bee
18:09equips on bear and bumblebees. If you
18:11only have one with ability rate as a bee
18:14bonus, give that one to bear. Otherwise,
18:16it doesn't really matter which get
18:17which. Next, there are elf caps. When
18:20waxed, these can give a honey at hive
18:23hive bonus. This increases the amount of
18:25honey you get from converting balloons,
18:27which is going to be your primary source
18:29of honey when you're blue. Although
18:31these are really bad with the hive
18:33bonus, getting one with 2% honey at hive
18:36costs practically nothing. And on top of
18:38everything, they also give a decent buff
18:40to your convert. They should be used on
18:42tabby and festive bee and possibly
18:44buoyant depending on your circumstances.
18:47If you're on diamond hive, they should
18:49definitely both be on diamond bees. Toy
18:51drums are primarily used as a haste
18:53source in blue. They also have the
18:56benefit of giving bee ability pollen as
18:58a hive bonus when they're waxed, which
18:59makes them even better. This should be
19:02run on buckco.
19:04Whistle is the other be crypt that
19:06serves as a hay source for blue. Its
19:08other buffs aren't that beneficial as
19:10its main high bonus is super crit power
19:12which blue doesn't use. On top of that,
19:16be move speed and player move speed are
19:18rare and don't help all that much and
19:20they're definitely not worth paying for.
19:22The best benefit a whistle can have is
19:24having melody token on it, but that's
19:26insanely expensive to buy and it's super
19:29hard to get yourself.
19:31Now, this bee equip should be used on
19:33commander B. The Chem4 lip balm is also
19:36great despite it being newer than the
19:38rest. It gives a good buff to bubble
19:40pollen and has a chance to buff gold
19:43bubble pollen if you use a costic wax on
19:45it. Main issue is that it usually comes
19:47with low potentials, making it pretty
19:50rare to get good buffs on them. This
19:52should be run on Bumblebee.
19:55Candy ring also came out the same time
19:57as a lip balm, and it's just as good, if
20:00not even better. The bee kip gives an
20:02even larger bonus to honey at hive than
20:05elf caps do on average. It should
20:07generally be run on gummy bee, but you
20:09can run it on diamond bee depending on
20:11the circumstances.
20:13And of course, if you're running diamond
20:14hive, it should go on one of your
20:16diamonds. Lastly, for the necessary bee
20:18quips, we have snow tiara. The snow
20:21tiara gives a decent buff to blue field
20:23capacity. And unfortunately, getting
20:25this value to go over 5% is pretty rare.
20:29it should be used on diamond bee.
20:31However, if you don't use diamond hive
20:34and you have windy bee, you can put on
20:36windy instead if needed. Moving on from
20:39the absolutely necessary beequips, we
20:41have the reindeer antlers. This bee
20:43equip can give a 1.1 times capacity
20:46bonus with the buff reindeer guidance.
20:49The bequip itself can also get a
20:50capacity high bonus. However, your macro
20:53may not be able to keep the reindeer
20:55guidance buff to max, and it's
20:56recommended to use a good pattern such
20:58as pine drift or bull when using the
21:00speed grip. It's also relatively cheap
21:02to buy if you don't go for one with a
21:04high hive bonus or a rare stat. Bead
21:07lizards can also be super important for
21:09blue. It can give token link pretty
21:11commonly if you use a costic wax on it.
21:13On top of that, costic wax also has a
21:16chance to give bubble pollen and the
21:18ability pollen as high bonuses, making
21:20it even more helpful. This should be
21:22used on any rare bee or possibly just on
21:25basic bee for the common bee pollen
21:27leaderboard. Paper angels are mostly
21:29used as a token link source. They also
21:32can give decent buffs to be ability
21:34pollen. However, the issue is that there
21:37are no bees in the base blue hive that
21:39can use it which makes it not necessary
21:41to run. However, if you do run shy, you
21:44should definitely be using this. Pink
21:46shades can be helpful, but only if they
21:49have focus token as a wax bonus.
21:52Superkit chance can also be a decent
21:53stat to have on pink shades. If you use
21:56this beip with the kazoo, you can
21:58sometimes replace the music. However,
22:00focus is costic only stat and the bequip
22:03is quite rare and if you run it, it
22:06should be on basic B. Paperclip is yet
22:08another token link producing bequip. It
22:11also has ability token lifespan by
22:13default which can help with its buff
22:15upkeep. But on top of those two, it can
22:17also get B ability pollen as a hive
22:20bonus, although it is kind of rare. If
22:22you do run this, then you should use it
22:25on a rare bee. Kazoo is an extra melody
22:27source, allowing you to possibly remove
22:29a music beat. The issue with kazoo and
22:31why it's not necessary is that the kazoo
22:34alone isn't enough to justify removing a
22:36music beat. And if you use four music
22:38bees already, the B-clipip becomes
22:40virtually useless. If you do use it,
22:42then it should be on a buoyant bee.
22:44Peppermint antennas are a beeclipip
22:46that's only really worth running if you
22:48don't have better beips to use as it can
22:50give ability rate to the bee and give a
22:53bar hive bonus. Beretss are pretty
22:56decent for capacity, possibly giving
22:58blue field capacity or just flat
23:00capacity when waxing. If you do use it,
23:02then you should run it on a buoyant bay.
23:04Bees tops can give a decent buff to crit
23:06power, although usually not enough to be
23:09run. It's mostly a filler B kip if you
23:12don't have anything better to use. If
23:14you use this, then it should be run on a
23:16rare B. Snow globes are usually used for
23:19alt accounts, although they can also be
23:21useful if you have extra slots with
23:23nothing better to occupy them. If you do
23:26use it, you should run it on a cool bit.
23:28Toy horns are similar to kazoo, mostly
23:30being used as a melody source. Because
23:32of their similarities, it also shares
23:34the same negatives, being useless if you
23:37run four music bees, and it's not strong
23:40enough on its own to replace a music
23:41bee. However, it also has the added
23:44negative of having no good bee to run it
23:46with and should only be run if you have
23:48lion or cobalt in your hive. And even if
23:51you have those, it's not even a
23:53guarantee that this bee equip would be
23:55good to use. Festive wreaths are
23:57expensive bee equips for what they're
23:59worth. They're only really good if they
24:01have honey at hive as a hive bonus,
24:03which is really rare and only obtainable
24:06via costic wax. These usually aren't run
24:10due to the limited bee slots, and you
24:12need around 3% honey at hive or more to
24:16be worth running if you only have 12
24:18slots. Lastly, for bee crips, there are
24:20charm bracelets. These are only worth
24:23running if you have melody and honey at
24:25hive as bonuses. It's a ridiculously
24:28expensive ve to buy and a complete waste
24:31if your other bee crypts aren't that
24:32good. It's also super rare and it's
24:34almost always better sell to buy other
24:36bec. However, if you do run it, you
24:39should be running it on a ninja. If you
24:41run diamond hive, run it on a diamond.
24:44Moving on from the actual hive, macro is
24:48extremely important for all hives and it
24:51becomes borderline necessary after SSA.
24:54For blue, you're mostly going to focus
24:56on your gather settings and more
24:58specifically the time spent gathering
25:00and your macro pattern. The time spent
25:03gathering should be set to 10 minutes as
25:05base. On the other hand, your pattern
25:08can vary as there are tons and tons to
25:11choose from. Some of the more important
25:13ones include both bowl and bowl old pin
25:18drift redux snail dance v3 and kadoku
25:23ki. The settings to all of them will be
25:25listed in the description as well. Your
25:27collect and kill settings should look
25:30like this. Now you may also benefit from
25:32turning on auto blender for things like
25:34blue extracts.
25:36You can also select anything you don't
25:38want from memory matches or turn it off
25:40entirely if you just don't care about
25:42them. Mondo, on the other hand, is
25:44really only good if you have an attack
25:46alt, which can join the server and kill
25:48Mondo super fast, resulting in you
25:50getting time seven or more of Mondo
25:53blessing. If you're low on ant passes,
25:55you can turn that on, too. But it's
25:57still recommended to do the actual ant
25:59challenges yourself, as the macro hardly
26:01ever gets a good score. For the kill
26:03section, you may want to enable stump
26:05snail to improve your amulet. And don't
26:08forget to adjust your monster respawn
26:09time accordingly. Moving on to the boost
26:12tab, you can enable autoblue extracts by
26:15putting in the hot bar slots. It's best
26:17to set it to while gathering and every
26:2010 minutes. You can also enable
26:22donations to the windshrine. Ideally,
26:24you should donate one to two blue
26:26extracts, and this can also make windy
26:28be more beneficial due to the clouds on
26:31the field. Enzymes and oils can also be
26:34turned on. However, they're much harder
26:35to get back than blue extracts are. You
26:38shouldn't really be using auto field
26:39boost unless if it's honey day as it's
26:41ridiculously expensive. And lastly,
26:44sticker stack should only be run if you
26:46have a large stack and you can get on
26:48leaderboards to fund the tickets for
26:50running stack. But keep in mind that the
26:52leaderboards you get from macroing alone
26:54won't be enough to upkeep how many
26:55tickets you use. So you may have to do
26:57some stick bug or RBC every so often to
27:00get on those leaderboards as well.
27:02Starting off with the quest tab, you
27:03should enable gather interrupt on
27:05basically anything as your honeym will
27:07go down significantly, but you won't get
27:10much more quests done. And that also
27:12depends on what quests though. You
27:15should always have at least 1,000 polar
27:17power. And this has been said multiple
27:19times so far. You don't have to stop at
27:211,000 as it is also the easiest way to
27:24get quest grandmaster for the 2.25 times
27:27capacity buff it gives and extra polar
27:30power is always going to be helpful.
27:33Honeybee quests are generally only
27:34recommended during honey day as the
27:36quests ramp up quite fast and they
27:38aren't very helpful for normal macro.
27:40Buckle quests should only really be
27:42turned on if you're going for the quest
27:44for tide or hydroponic. Although they
27:46can also be helpful to trying to get
27:48quest grandmaster faster. As for
27:50planters, the base blue preset with a
27:53few changes works. I personally have
27:55been running these settings since I was
27:56level 13 and it's always worked for me.
27:58The only things I've really changed are
28:00I've increased my minimums to 90% as I
28:04have every single planter. But if you
28:05don't, you can turn it down to 70%
28:08comforting and 80% on everything else
28:10across the board. If you don't have
28:12endame planters, you probably will not
28:14be able to upkeep invigorating, so you
28:16can just turn that off entirely. Now,
28:19however, there is a guide that will be
28:21linked to help with manial settings, and
28:23especially if you can't macro 24/7, it's
28:25going to be really helpful to check out.
28:27Moving on, on the status tab, it's super
28:30recommended to set up a web hook to
28:31allow you to know what's going on at all
28:33times. It helps a lot knowing your buff
28:35up times, and it becomes super difficult
28:37to know what you should change with the
28:39hourly graph. An alternative you can do
28:42is remote control, which will allow you
28:44to control your macro via Discord, which
28:46allows you to do things such as
28:48stopping, starting, pausing, and even
28:51more when you're not at your PC. There
28:53will be a guide for both of those in the
28:55description. It's pretty easy and only
28:57takes a few minutes at max to set up. As
28:59for the setting tab, you should change
29:01the red parts based on your own settings
29:03and macro server. When you're macroing,
29:05you should be macroing with others as
29:07it's really important because blue hires
29:09work super well together. It can give
29:11you a plethora of benefits, including
29:13one, more balloons, which helps
29:15primarily because of the balloon aura
29:17buff, which stacks up to 10 times,
29:19giving a max of 1.2 times pollen and
29:22plus 20% honey from tokens. It also
29:24gives more frogs, which help with
29:26getting higher pop stars, which allows
29:27you to collect more pollen, obviously.
29:29And lastly, more fuzzy bees, which can
29:32help with pollination. But keep in mind
29:34that for fuzzy bees, after a certain
29:36point, more is not always going to be
29:39helpful. To start off, you should try
29:41finding a blue macro server in your
29:43region. Finding one in your region helps
29:46a lot with lag for everyone involved.
29:48And make sure to have the server reset
29:50often, or else lag builds up and
29:52decreases everybody's honeym, not just
29:54yours. There are plenty of Discord
29:56servers with specific channels for
29:58finding macro servers. Another large
30:00buff to honeym includes making alts.
30:03Alts are massive helps. The main two
30:05that blue uses are tadpole and guiding
30:07alts. In order to know what to actually
30:10change, you should be looking at your
30:11hourly reports. This is a really good
30:14graph. Speaking from a buff perspective,
30:16the honey per hour is rather low for
30:19everything that this person has, but
30:20that's because this graph is pretty old.
30:22The main parts you should be noticing in
30:24this graph is the focus uptime, the
30:27constant upkeep of blue boost, high
30:29haste at all times, relatively short
30:32convert times, and lastly, high nectars
30:35and balloon blessing. These are the main
30:36things you should be immediately looking
30:38at. If these aren't stable, it could be
30:40the cause for your low honeym. There are
30:42two largely misunderstood terms that you
30:45can easily see in the honey graph, and
30:48they're called overfill and underfill.
30:50Now, starting off with underfill, it's
30:52usually when you fill your balloons
30:54under 75% before they leave the field
30:56and return to the hive. Underfill can be
30:58seen in many different ways, anywhere
31:00between making your backpack graph look
31:03flat to relatively normal. The main way
31:06to help with underfilling is to fix lag
31:08and getting more nectar. You should
31:10always have at least 75% of comforting,
31:13motivating, and satisfying nectars.
31:15However, only the first two help with
31:17pollen collection. After you have this
31:18settled, work on hive changes, amulets,
31:21more people are also
31:27one, server lag, two PC lag, and lastly,
31:32three, ping lag.
31:34PC lag is usually in the form of
31:37unsteady or low FPS. To check this,
31:40click shift and F5 at the same time.
31:43This will show you your frame time graph
31:45to show how much FPS you have.
31:48In order to fix this, try optimizing
31:50your PC so it runs Roblox better.
31:53Ping lag is exactly what it sounds like.
31:56It's high ping. For this, the main way
31:59is to macro and servers close to your
32:01region. And an easy way to make sure
32:04this is to macro solely with people who
32:06share the same region as you. Another
32:08way can just be from getting better
32:10internet, but not everybody can do that.
32:12Lastly, server lag is the most complex
32:15of them, and it's commonly caused when a
32:18server hasn't been reset for a while.
32:19It's pretty easy to fix, however, and
32:21you can usually fix it by restarting the
32:24server or making sure everybody has
32:26their daily reconnect set to the same
32:28time. You should be disconnecting
32:30multiple times a day. And make sure to
32:32not run more than four to five blue
32:34hives in a server, or else the server
32:36might lag often. The easiest way to tell
32:39you're lagging from a graph is if you
32:41drop blue boost or focus. If you drop
32:43focus multiple times, it may indicate
32:46minor lag. If you ever drop blue boost,
32:48you 100% have some form of lag. On the
32:51contrary, overfilling is when you fill
32:53your balloon so much that you fill your
32:56bag in extreme amounts. Now, keep in
32:58mind that going back to your hive early
32:59is not always a sign of overfilling, and
33:02it could mean that you're just drifting
33:03away from your balloons, usually due to
33:05lag. To check for this, you should be
33:07watching your macro when it's in the
33:09field. Overfilling will cause you to go
33:11back to your hive a lot and fill your
33:13bag a lot. But filling five to six times
33:16an hour is not overfilling. Just because
33:18you fill faster than 10 minutes doesn't
33:20necessarily mean you overfill. Overfill
33:22is only at extreme amounts. The easiest
33:25way to help overfill is simply to try
33:27and get a better balloon blessing.
33:29Having a blessing that's under 50 is not
33:32good. And the easiest way to increase
33:34this is to do a blessing boost. If your
33:36blessing is already high and you still
33:38overfill, focus on adjusting your hive,
33:40getting better capacity be equips, using
33:43sticker stack when macroing if you have
33:45a high stack, and getting a double
33:47passive SSA if you don't already have
33:49one. If you're running the proper six
33:51focus producers in the basic hive, you
33:53should basically never be dropping in
33:55focus tokens. If you are, it's likely an
33:57issue with lag or low polar power. The
34:00time spent converting is mostly going to
34:02be affected by nectar. If you have the
34:04proper nectar, it should be rather
34:05quick. Another thing that can affect it
34:07are different be equips. Your blessing
34:09should always be high, and this may be
34:11difficult if you don't macro 24/7, but
34:14regardless, you should be able to get a
34:16decent blessing from just playing
34:17normally for a bit. Blessing is super
34:20effective for blue, majorly buffing
34:22capacity and honey at hive, which are
34:24two of the most important stats for
34:27blue. As said before, the best way to
34:29get high blessings is simply from doing
34:31blessing boosts, whether that's normal
34:32or RBC. Now, before I get on to amulets,
34:35any stat that's wrote in red text are
34:38going to be the most important stats to
34:40get on the amulet. The amulet's
34:41practically going to be useless without
34:43these stats. Anything in blue may be
34:46good for other things such as RBC or
34:48stick bug or tattle sync. Anything in
34:51plain black text is just going to be the
34:53best for that stat slot. Now, to start
34:55off on the actual amulets, why not start
34:58on by far the most important one of them
35:01all? And the reason why hive colors work
35:03in the first place, your star amulet. If
35:06you're past early blue, then never take
35:08an amulet that doesn't have both blue
35:11pollen and convert rate. Generally, a
35:13four out of five passive is going to be
35:15better than a five out of five solo
35:17passive. However, a three out of five is
35:19almost never better than that same five
35:21out of five solo passive unless the stat
35:24difference is absolutely insane. During
35:26macro, the second passive doesn't matter
35:29between guiding or shower. However,
35:31shower is generally much better for
35:33manually grinding boosts or RBC. In the
35:36order of importance, it goes blue
35:38pollen, which is about equal to convert
35:41rate cuz both are absolutely needed. And
35:43then bar, which is better than crit
35:45chance with pollen falling behind. Next,
35:48we have the easiest of the supreme
35:50amulet,
35:52and it has some decent stats as well. No
35:54matter what color you are, getting crit
35:56chance and power are absolutely
35:58essential. You also need blue pollen on
36:01it. Pollen can be decent for RBC, and
36:04it's the best stat out of the leftover
36:06for honeymaking as well. Between the
36:08other colored pollen type, it doesn't
36:10matter too much. But for RBC, white
36:12pollen is generally better as it makes
36:14those quests easier in RBC. Stickle bug
36:17amulet only has one really important
36:19stat for honeym.
36:23However, pollen on this is fine as well
36:25as 10% pollen is going to be roughly
36:28equivalent to around 22 to 26% blue
36:31pollen. Otherwise, the attack is nice
36:34for things and the blue bomb pollen is
36:36hardly helpful, but it's the best stat
36:38out of what you can get for the last
36:40stat slot. On your moon amulet, you're
36:42mainly looking for one thing, and that's
36:43honey per pollen. If you need to level
36:46bond from treats is good, but white
36:48pollen will be better for RBC despite
36:50basically having zero impact on honeym.
36:52It's generally recommended to swap your
36:54moon amulet to one with 9 to 10% bond
36:57from treats when you level up past level
36:5918 if you don't already have it on your
37:01current amulet. Anyways, cog amidlets
37:03are something that people seriously
37:05undervalue. It's arguably the second
37:08most important after the star amulet. On
37:10this, you're going to want blue pollen,
37:11bubble pollen at the very least. The
37:14next most important is going to be
37:15ability token lifespan as it actually
37:17affects your honeymoon
37:20conversion is practically useless
37:22outside of honey day and attack is nice
37:24for RBC or stick bug. For the king
37:26beetle amulet, it depends a lot on if
37:28you can run paddle sync or not. If you
37:30can, then having bamboo and blue flower
37:32field pollen is easily the most
37:34important stats. However, if you can't,
37:35the only important stat is convert rate.
37:37And again, attack is still nice for RBC
37:40or stick bug. Lastly, we have the snail
37:42amulet. For this, you should have
37:44convert amount and pollen for optimal
37:45honeym. The fields don't really matter
37:48as it'll only be helpful for RBC, so
37:50just choose wisely there. However, if
37:53you do run diamond comp, then you should
37:55not have convert them out. Now, after
37:57you've understood everything about the
37:59actual hives and buffs, what items and
38:01gear should you be getting and when?
38:05Now, starting off with the gummy boots,
38:07it's a bit of a weird item. It used to
38:09be a must get for blue, but nowadays
38:12with the nerf from last year, it's
38:14skippable for other endame gear.
38:17However, you should still be getting it
38:19in the end anyways. So, it's honestly up
38:21to you when you buy this. Although it is
38:23recommended to skip it for tide or pedal
38:26as they will buff you more than gummy
38:27boots does. Talking about Titan pedal,
38:30which should you get? This can be a bit
38:33of an annoying choice as they both
38:34require swax and super smoothies. But
38:37it's pretty easy. Just ask yourself
38:40these two questions. Can you actually
38:42use the buff efficiently, such as
38:44building it and keeping it up the
38:46majority of the time you're grinding or
38:47macroing? And are you planning to stay
38:49blue long term or after level 20? If you
38:52answer either of these questions with
38:54no, then you should stick to the pedal
38:57planter. However, if you say yes to
38:59both, then you may want to get Tide
39:01first. With hydroponic, it's not quite
39:03as annoying of a question. It's quite
39:05cheap in comparison to everything else,
39:08so you should basically just get it
39:09whenever you can spare the items. It
39:11helps a lot with upkeeping nectar, and
39:13it has a pretty good loot table. The
39:15coconut belt, on the other hand, is
39:17pretty expensive. Despite the large
39:19cost, it's pretty good for blue. The
39:21additional 25% capacity on top of the
39:24pedal's 50% along with the additional
39:26100k base capacity makes it really good
39:29for capacity as blue. 8 also gives a
39:32small convert amount buff along with 10%
39:34gifted bee pollen which does affect
39:36abilities making it super useful. It
39:39should be bought whenever you can afford
39:40it. Although if you're up for the grind
39:43it may be worth it to get planter of
39:45plenty first as it's really not that
39:47hard nowadays. Most people are inclined
39:49to swap off blue after they reach a
39:51certain point. And honestly, it costs a
39:54lot for most people. You should be at
39:56least level 20 and have saved at least
39:58one quad, although you could easily go
40:00way over that for a full swap. Of
40:03course, you don't need to swap and you
40:05can always continue as blue. It's still
40:07a great choice and as I said, what I
40:09believe is the best out of the three for
40:11the average BSS enjoyer. But if you are
40:13adamant on swapping, especially to
40:15white, you should swap to an RBC hive
40:17first. The entire purpose of this hive
40:19is to make drive running easier to farm
40:21tons of drives in digital bee before
40:23swapping to white, which is much worse
40:25at it. If you're swapping red, you can
40:27skip this step as red is good enough at
40:29RBC by itself. Keep in mind that you can
40:33still do dry runs as blue and it's still
40:35really easy, but RBC hives just make it
40:38a bit more efficient. If you don't have
40:39the dark scythe or gummy baller, you
40:41shouldn't be swapping to those
40:42respective hives. Going white is still a
40:44bit more tricky here as you're going to
40:46need both due to being RBC hive first.
40:49Large amount of honey is to afford a
40:50five out of five double passive and
40:52enough for a good gifted hive. Your gift
40:54is up to you whether you buy star treats
40:56with tickets, use royal jellies, or use
40:58fruits. And keep in mind that one quad
41:00may not actually be enough for a full
41:02swap, and you may be closer to two quad
41:05for an actual full swap. Now, the very
41:08last thing is alternate accounts, or
41:11alts for short. Blue doesn't actually
41:13use fuzzy alts like red and white do,
41:15and instead they use two other alts
41:17called tad alts and guiding alts. Adults
41:20are by far the most important, and
41:22they're used to produce more bubbles
41:24when you're macroing with the large
41:25amount of taples that they may have. On
41:27top of that, they're also there to scare
41:29frogs into moving, which makes them
41:31produce more bubbles as well. They allow
41:33you to macro alone without others, which
41:35can reduce lag and miscommunication
41:37issues by a ton. They also allow you to
41:40run tattle sync, which is an extension
41:42of the macro that allows you to macro in
41:45bamboo and blue flower if you get the
41:47boost from the blue booster. Now, there
41:49are steps to do this in the rain guide.
41:52The other alts are guiding alts, which
41:54are also used in red hives. These alts
41:57have a chance to spawn a guiding star in
41:59the field you're macro in, which is
42:00generally going to be pine tree, but it
42:02can also be blue flower or bamboo. And
42:05this gives a 1.25 times capacity in
42:08pollen buff, helping your hourly a lot.
42:11Now, that's the entire Bluehive guide.
