Bee Swarm Convert Rate Guide 2026

Convert rate determines how fast your bees process pollen into honey.

What is Convert Rate?

Convert rate = Pollen processed per second by all bees combined.

Higher rate means:

• Faster pollen → honey
• Less waiting at hive
• More farming time

Base Convert Rates

Each bee has a base rate:

Bee Rarity	Rate/Second
Basic	10
Rare	20
Epic	40
Legendary	80
Mythic	150

Total Rate Calculation

Total Rate = Sum(All Bee Rates) × Hive Bonus × Amulets × Upgrades

Example:

• 10 Basic bees (100/s base)
• 1.5x Hive Bonus
• 1.2x Amulet

Total: 100 × 1.5 × 1.2 = 180 pollen/second

How Rates Stack

Multiple sources multiply:

• Bee rates: Additive
• Bonuses: Multiplicative

More bees = linear growth Better bonuses = exponential growth

Improving Convert Rate
