How honey is counted

Every second, each patch of your flowers joined by vines gives flowers × flowers honey. Flowers close together grow vines between them.

1 flower on its own	+1 / s
2 joined flowers	2 × 2 = +4 / s
3 joined flowers	3 × 3 = +9 / s
4 joined flowers	4 × 4 = +16 / s
5 joined flowers	5 × 5 = +25 / s

Fortified: a patch of 4 or more grows a hedge, and its flowers take 3 loops to steal instead of 2.

Teamwork: tap a flower your bee is taking again and another free bee joins it: 2 bees pollinate 1.8× as fast, 3 bees 2.6×. That is the way into a hedge.

Sting dash (button or E): your flight becomes a fast dash that hits the first rival it touches for 35 health. Knock them out within 4 s and their dropped honey is yours. Then that bee's sting recharges for 3 s; with several bees, each recharges on its own (an orange ring on its dot means ready).

Auto sting (lobby switch): when your sting is ready, a flight at a rival turns into the dash by itself.

Your bees: a bee is free once it circles one of your own flowers (the white ring). Tap a flower and your nearest free bee goes. Solo, your hive grows with your garden: a 2nd bee at 3 flowers, a 3rd at 5, a 4th at 7; drop below a step for 8 s and that bee flies home. With friends: 2 bees in round 1, 3 in round 2, and in the final (the best 4 hives) 3 bees plus a 4th at 6 flowers.

New flowers sprout during the round and stay. The dots on your card show your bees: filled = free, orange ring = sting ready.

Vine reach: faint dots run from your flowers to every flower close enough to join them. Take a dotted one and your patch grows.

So one big patch beats many small ones. Steal the middle flower of a rival's patch to split it in two. The label on each patch shows what it earns.
