As with practically anything, some questions come up over and over as more people discover the game.

Should I get the Scythe or the Bubble Wand?

This is a matter of opinion. In terms of absolute numbers based on the pollen collector alone, the Bubble Wand has a slight edge; but that's not the whole story. The right answer for you will depend on multiple factors, such as: do you have more red bees or more blue bees? Do you prefer collecting pollen in a line or in a circle? Are you on a quest for a large quantity of red pollen? Some people get both tools, using one for red fields and the other for blue fields (and whichever one they happen to have equipped for white/neutral fields).

Note that as you get more bees, your pollen collector starts making less and less difference, because you'll be getting most of your pollen from stacked bombs or critical hits.

How do I get that Royal Jelly/Ticket that's [insert location here]?

Check out the pages on Royal Jelly and Tickets.

How long do I have until Photon Bee disappears?

There are currently no plans to remove Photon Bee. "Event Bee" does not mean "temporary"; it just means you can't get this bee through ordinary eggs or royal jellies.

How do I get Bear Bee?

Bear Bee was only available in the first month of the game's release. He will not be coming back; sorry. But other cool new bees are being added over time, so stick around!

Should I buy the Parachute? What purpose does it serve?

The Parachute is very useful for obtaining some of the Royal Jellies and Tickets hidden around the map. (In fact, the parachute is outright necessary for some of the locations.)

I used a Royal Jelly on an Epic bee, and it turned into a Rare bee. Shouldn't it have turned into a Legendary bee?

No: the probabilites for Royal Jelly don't depend at all on what bee you're applying it to. Even if you use Royal Jelly on an Event bee (though why on earth would you?), it will more than likely turn into a Rare bee.

Whoops, I accidentally deleted my Bear Bee/Photon Bee. How do I undo it?

Event Bees come with a special Royal Jelly that will turn any bee into the event bee in question. Note that you can only have one of each type of event bee in your swarm at the same time, so the only use for the special Royal Jelly is to recover from precisely this situation, i.e. accidentally evicting or converting the wrong bee.

I got a new quest, and now I can't read the end of my old quest - the scrollbar isn't there (or the scrollbar is there, but won't scroll far enough). Help?

This is a known glitch. The workaround that usually helps is to click on one of the other menus - like the egg menu - and then click back to the quests menu.

Help, one of the bears looks... dead. Where do I report this?

There's no need to report it, it's a well-known glitch. You should still be able to talk to the bear.

There's a player stuck in my hive! He never moves, and I can't read his name.

You're in hive #5, aren't you? That's the Onett statue from on top of the hives. (Onett is the game's creator.) Sometimes, he falls down and lands in odd places, like in the honeycomb of hive #5. You should be able to just play as if he weren't there - your bees will ignore him, and the hive will still be functional.

Do the royal jellies or tickets hidden around the map ever respawn?

Nope, sorry, they're a one-time-only thing.

There's no way I'm finishing Sun Bear's quests before he leaves. Will I be able to get the belt bags afterwards?

Ah, yes, 10,000 ability tokens; I feel your pain. Good news: you will be able to buy the Belt Bag from the Pro Shop for 440,000 Honey, or the Mondo Belt Bag from the Mountain Top Shop for 12 million Honey.

Which field is best for farming Honey when I'm not on a quest?

If you have access to the Mountain Top Field, use that, no question. Otherwise, keep in mind that blue bees collect 50% more pollen from blue flowers, and red bees collect 50% more pollen from red flowers. Similarly, the Bubble Wand works better on blue flowers, and the Scythe works better on red flowers. Thus, if you have lots of blue bees and/or have the Bubble Wand, try the Pine Tree Forest, whereas if your swarm skews red and/or you have the Scythe, go for the Rose Field. Other candidates, depending on your swarm and your pollen collector, are the Cactus Field and the Pumpkin Patch.

Help, I'm missing a leg/arm/head! -or- Help, I turned into a strange half-human/half-bear monster!

You died or reset while you were in Bear Morph mode, didn't you? It can also happen if you leave the game while in bear shape. The fix is to wait until you're not a bear anymore (or until you're only half bear), and then leave the game and come back.

Where do I report bugs?

First, check that your bug doesn't appear on this page or the Known Glitches page. Next, do the Roblox equivalent of turning it off and back on again: leave the game and come back. (Important: don't reset your character! Actually close the game window and then open the game again.) Is the bug still there?

If it's a new bug which isn't fixed by leaving and coming back, but it's not preventing you from playing and doesn't involve actual money, then it's probably sufficient to report it on the game's Discord server - there's a #bug-reports channel for the purpose. If the bug is preventing you from playing, and/or if you don't have Discord, send a message within Roblox to BeeSwarmBugReport. If the problem involves purchases/Robux, send a message within Roblox to BeeSwarmSupport. (If you're not sure, send messages to both accounts.)
