Bee Swarm Simulator Complete Progression Guide: From Early to End Game

Why You Need This Bee Swarm Simulator Progression Guide

Bee Swarm Simulator is an incredibly deep Roblox experience. Many players get stuck because they buy the wrong gear at the wrong time or pick a hive color too early. This Bee Swarm Simulator complete progression guide breaks down every stage of the journey, using a fresh test-realm approach to show you exactly what to do. Whether you’re just hitting 25 bees or grinding for the Planter of Plenty, these steps will save you millions of honey. Let’s start from the very beginning—because even early decisions matter.

Early Game: The First 25 Bees and Mondo Gear

Your very first goal is simple: reach 25 bees and unlock the Mountain Top Shop. Once you’re there, do not buy hive slots immediately. Instead, focus on three essential items:

The Beekeeper Boots are the most impactful early purchase because speed = efficiency. After you own all three, start buying hive slots. Keep buying until your next slot costs 152 million honey – that usually means you have 33 bees. At that point, buy the Porcelain Dipper (a major tool upgrade). Then grab one or two more hive slots to reach 34–35 bees. This unlocks Spirit Bear quests and sets you up for mid game.

Next, get a better backpack: the Porcelain Porthive (250M). You can use a regular or colored porthive before this – doesn’t matter. You now have full Mondo gear, 35 bees, and a good backpack. Time to enter the Ace Shop phase.

Mid Game: Ace Shop, Macro Decisions, and Your First Spirit Petal

The Ace Shop introduces gear that defines your mid-game efficiency. The key decision is whether you macro (use an auto-farming script) or play manually. This choice completely changes your gear priorities.

Macro Tip: The Bubble Mask’s “Bubbles” ability helps collect pollen automatically, which synergizes perfectly with macro scripts. The Honey Mask’s conversion boost is better when you’re actively playing.

Once you have your mid-game gear, push to 35 bees (if not already there) and start working on your first Spirit Petal. Here’s the optimal order for spending Spirit Petals:

1. Petal Belt – solid all-around stats and conversion.
2. Windy Bee – great for balloons and field moves.
3. Petal Wand – best saved for last unless you’re a blue hive.

Many players argue about which comes first, but based on community reports, Petal Belt → Windy → Petal Wand is the most efficient for general progression. However, if you have 5 Diamond Eggs, consider getting the Diamond Mask before the Petal Belt. The Diamond Mask is a game-changer for honey making, especially with its 1.5x pollen from diamonds.

While grinding for the Petal Belt and Diamond Mask, work toward 45 bee slots. This is a soft target – you don’t need exactly 45, but you want to be close before moving to coconut gear.

Late Mid Game: Coconut Gear, Supreme Star Amulet, and Hive Color

After the Diamond Mask and Petal Belt, your next focus is the Coconut Canister and Coconut Boots. You can grind for these in any order, but the recommended order is:

1. Reach 45 bee slots
2. Obtain Coconut Canister (200 Coconut Crystals + other mats)
3. Obtain Coconut Boots (requires Coconut Canister)

Important: Even after getting these, keep defeating the Coconut Crab weekly. You’ll need 1,500 Tropical Drinks later for the Coconut Belt – do not waste them.

By now you should have your second Spirit Petal. Use it for Windy Bee (if you didn’t already). At this stage you’ve likely discovered 40 gifted bee types. That unlocks the Supreme Star Amulet – and this is where you choose your first hive color.

Why you should go early Blue: Blue hives generate massive honey through bubble combos and pop star. Red requires precise fire scythe timing. White hives cost billions to set up. As the source video states, “Being a white hive is extremely expensive… you will be making a lot more honey if you go early blue.” So choose Pop Star on your Supreme Star Amulet and slowly transition to a blue hive.

Macro Strategies and Quest Completion

Macro tools are controversial in Bee Swarm Simulator, but they’re extremely effective when used correctly. This Bee Swarm Simulator complete progression guide recommends using macro if you can – not to “play the game” for you, but to automate repetitive tasks like field grinding. Key tips:

• Macro makes Riley and Buck quests much faster. However, you can do them manually just fine – the guide author completed most of their Riley Bee quests by hand.
• If you macro, prioritize gear that boosts bubble/field collection (Bubble Mask, Tide Popper).
• If you go manual, focus on conversion items (Honey Mask, Honeycomb Belt).

Never feel pressured to macro. The game is fully playable without it; you’ll just progress a bit slower.

Endgame Gear Paths by Hive Color

Once you have your Supreme Star Amulet and hive color chosen, follow the gear paths below. Tables make it clear.

Blue Hive Gear Order (Recommended for most players)

Red Hive Gear Order

White Hive Gear Order (Very Late Game)

Remember, white hive is the most expensive and should be your last color switch.

Final Stages: Leveling Bees, Coconut Belt, and Planter of Plenty

Once you have your hive color gear, the rest is pure grind:

• Level up your bees – especially your main attack and gifted bees. Aim for level 15–18 for red/blue, higher for white.
• Get the Coconut Belt – costs 1,500 Tropical Drinks and 100 million honey. It’s a huge boost to coconut field and general stats.
• Planter of Plenty – requires insane resources. Use your best planters in extreme fields (Coconut, Pepper, Pine Tree) to get the materials.

There’s no shortcut – just consistent daily gameplay, macro if you choose, and smart resource management. You’ll get there in your own time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best hive color for a brand new player in this progression guide?
A: Go blue as soon as you unlock your Supreme Star Amulet. Blue hives with a Pop Star amulet make consistent honey through bubbles, even without max gear. White and red are much more expensive early on. This Bee Swarm Simulator complete progression guide strongly recommends blue for your first color.

Q: Should I buy the Honeycomb Belt or skip it if I macro?
A: Skip it if you macro – use the Bubble Mask and invest your honey into the Porcelain Porthive or hive slots instead. If you play manually, buy both Honey Mask and Honeycomb Belt.

Q: How many diamond eggs do I need for the Diamond Mask?
A: You need 5 Diamond Eggs. If you have them, get the Diamond Mask before the Petal Belt – it’s a massive honey boost. If you don’t, just get the Petal Belt first and acquire the mask later.

Q: What’s the most common mistake players make in mid game?
A: Buying hive slots before getting Mondo gear and the Porcelain Dipper. Always follow the order: Mondo gear → 33 bees → Porcelain Dipper → 35 bees → Porcelain Porthive. Skip this and you’ll waste millions.
