How to Get Bee Swarm Event Pets in Grow a Garden
There arefive bee petsyou can collect from the Bee Swarm event and make a permanent part of your garden. These bees give two exclusive mutations to your plants, and they’ll keep doing so even after the event wraps up, which makes them pretty handy to have around (we’ll cover that more below).
To get a Bee Swarm pet inGrow a Garden, you’ll need to buy a Bee Egg from theHoney Shop. Each one costs18 jars of Honey or 129 Robux.If you’re low on honey,this guide can help you replenish your supply.While the Honey Shop is always accessible by interacting with the Queen Bee floating on the event platform, the Bee Egg isn’t always in stock. You’ll need to check back every 60 minutes, or you can joinGaG’sofficial Discord server for live stock updates from other players.
Once you get your hands on a Bee Egg, place it in your garden. It will hatch into one of the five event pet bees after about4 hours and 10 minutes. You can speed up the hatch time using pets like Kiwi, Rooster, Chicken, and others.

All Bee Swarm Pet Abilities in Grow a Garden
As mentioned above, Bee Swarm pets specialize in giving your fruits twoevent mutations: Pollinatedand HoneyGlazed. These special variants can boost your crop’s sell value by three and five times, respectively. The best part is that their abilities aren’t limited to the event, so you can still grow these mutated plants anytime.
The table below breaks down the specific abilities of each Bee Swarm pet inGrow a Garden:
Bee
Common
These bees find a random plant roughly every 24:45 minutes and apply thePollinated Mutationon it, making it three times more valuable. If you age your bees, their ability cooldown will shorten, and they’ll pollinate fruits faster. You can do so by feeding them or by placing any version of Owls in your garden, sincethey give active pets constant EXP.
Honey Bee
Rare
Similar to regular bees, Honey Bees trigger thePollinated Mutationon nearby plants (one at a time) every 19:43 minutes. Their ability cooldown can also be reduced by upgrading them. The main difference lies in the ability timer.
Bear Bee
Mythical
The Bear Bee is unique in that it resembles a bear and can’t even fly. InGrow a Garden, the Bear Bee gives fruit theHoneyGlazed mutationevery 25 minutes (which boosts its sell value by 5x). Basically,it’s a walking Honey Sprinklerand the only pet inGrow a Gardenthat can force the HoneyGlazed variant.
Petal Bee
Legendary
This bee gives the closest fruit thePollinated Mutationevery 24:49 minutes. Since it’s a floral bee, Petal Bee also blesses you with a 1.13% chance that yourflower fruits will hang on the planteven if you pick them. These include Purple Dahlia, Pink Lily, Lilac, Sunflower, and more.
Divine
Similarly, the Queen Bee grants one of your fruits thePollinated Mutationevery 24:37 minutes while wandering your farm. Its special ability is that it canreset a random pet’s cooldown, allowing the pet to use its trait immediately, no matter how much time was left on its ability timer. The Queen Bee does this every 29:37 minutes.
