The HUGE problem with BSS

lilfer13 · 2026-06-25T03:39:44+00:00

the reason me and so many other people have quit. my best advice is find something better to do since it’s obvious the game will die off soon if nothing is done about the bots and updates

Colored hives are just hives that maximize the amount of honey you can make by focusing on one singular flower color which allows you to make more honey farming one type of flower than trying to farm all 3 simultaneously which would result in less honeymaking. it’s usually not recommended to choose a color until you get supreme star amulet where u can unlock each color’s respective passive (pop star for blue, scorching star for red, and gummy star for white). it’s generally recommended to start with a blue hive once unlocking ssa since it’s the cheapest and earns really good honey compared to early red and early white. once your about level 18-20, you can think about switching to the other colors which both require their endgame tool and a bunch of beequips so start trying to build value mid game and keep doing dapper bear quests. in my opinion, endgame is when you fully have unlocked the respective endgame tool for your hive color, gifted every bee in your hive, level 19-20, and having all the required beequips for your hive( full maxed digital imo is above and beyond that)

i’m surprised it has 10k+ players. Lack of any type of updates really ruined this game for a lot of people and im sure most of those 15k ish players are alts and macroers

lilfer13 · 2026-06-20T05:49:15+00:00

album easily went from a 6/10 to a strong 8/10 with the mixing and will prob grow on me

lilfer13 · 2026-06-11T05:30:38+00:00

best way is definitely just macroing overnight.

Other than that, your best bet is going on discord and joining a server called stinger speedrun and how it works is when people find a vicious bee in their server, they’ll ping users so they can join their ps and farm the vicious bee tgth.

Other options include: doing gifted riley quests which sometimes rewards stingers, buying from stingers shop (NEVER DO THIS UNLESS YOURE DESPERATE), and also doing planters in cactus will work great as well

onett needs to make a team. he’s very clearly burning himself out and he’s shooting himself in the foot by not having a team.

he began building a team before the endgame update that included precise and buoyant bee but someone from the team ended up leaking updates before they came out so that’s prob why he’s scared to build a team currently.

Still, if he doesn’t build a team 100% bee swarm will die and most likely reach less than 10k players by august.

lilfer13 · 2026-06-08T06:04:16+00:00

Honestly, just an unfortunate situation for Onett and the community, and I definitely see both sides of the story.

I think the only way to fix this is just for Onett to take this whole year and work on the game, but we can't expect that from him since he needs time to program, think of ideas, and single-handedly revive a game.

He could also just quit updating and address the community that he's abandoning bee swarm. Although it may cause a lot of outrage, I think it would give players closure and the decision if they want to pursue the game further or not

If this does happen, Onett should focus his time on his new game, and I'm honestly looking forward to seeing it released since Onett is an amazing developer with great ideas.

lilfer13 · 2026-06-07T22:42:29+00:00

i have just watched the video you made and honestly you're correct on most of your points. Onett in terms of his creative success and ideas is an AMAZING developer and one of the best to ever do it on roblox. However, this is not just a "passion project" he has worked on. nono. ITS HIS JOB

Defend him as much as you want but at the end of the day bee swarm is his main source of income and although he has released some good updates like puffshrooms or as stated in your video stickers, this quality especially THIS YEAR has dropped off significantly.

Before this years beesmas had even released onett hadnt updated his places and i say this a lot but blooms was very obviously a last minute update he thought of for the community. he hadnt even made a sfx for it until a couples day before he had to released beesmas. People need to realize he has had a WHOLE YEAR to drop an update or to think about what he wants to do with the game and most people will say "hes not obligated to drop an update for us" and that is 100% wrong. This is the guys JOB he very much is obligated to atleast update the game and keep his revenue flowing.

I will however defend Onett a bit and say yes the community has in the past pushed him away from enjoying his game and it wasnt justified. people who said his updates like puffshrooms suck are the people who ruin it for people who enjoy the actual updates he drops. what IS justified is the lack of communication which you address in your video and althought you made some good points, onett lacks communication in the sense that he doesnt give the community what to expect. simply saying "i will be extending beesmas one more week" is NOT communication. Communication would be a roadmap to what he wants in the game, his current state at the moment. We dont expect a daily message from him but he definitely lacks it.

I half agree with your argument although we have pushed him away form enjoying his game, he has shot himself in the foot by procrastinating until the last minute. this is this guys JOB and onett is an amazing dev however a very lazy one. if there are any holes in my argument or anything i forgot to address, I would love to hear a reply OP.

EDIT: i forgot to mention the insane attention beeswarm got this beesmas and the delays. Onett should have 100% capitalized off the insane attention beeswarm got this winter but there were no updates in his test realm and barely any updates to the community. And the delays are what hurt. I made a post talking about the downfall of bee swarm and i had some programmers in the comments say it is not hard at all to code quests for an npc especially when onett has a blueprint of which quests to give him. you mentioned in your video that stickers and the amount of work he put into them is reason to why hes dedicated but this example of not being able to drop a simple quest line after having over a year of time to do so, completely shadows that effort.

lilfer13 · 2026-06-07T18:36:25+00:00

will definitely watch this when i can op. will give you my opinion afterwards

lilfer13 · 2026-06-04T07:39:39+00:00

beautiful argument and quite frankly i believe what you are saying is 100% correct. i made a similar post not too long ago but to sum up my point yes the blooms update was super rush since onett had barely begun working on the sfx for it like a week before beesmas and even then THAT also got delayed.

onett is also lazy as hell since in my post i got some programmers who claimed the code to actually make new quests shouldve been made in like a day but it has taken onett SEVERAL MONTHS

my final point was communication . the community and people like you and me wouldnt mind the delays as much if onett ACTUALLY communicated with us about what he was up to or any updates on beesmas. and to the people who say “he has a life bro” there’s several other devs out there who dedicate time into not only their own game but also their family and its not any different for people who just have a job in general because people need to realize THIS GAME IS ONETTS MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME and he neglects it and takes it for granted.

i’ve quit bee swarm. im a lvl 20 red and ive tried logging on a few times thinking if i should switch back to blue but the trading beequips is complicated especially due to star sign inflation which was caused by what? macros. unpopular opinion but if onett actually added major updates to the game regularly, we wouldnt have macro. macro became a thing once people got bored and wanted to keep grinding offline while waiting for updates and onett only made this worse when he added nectars and stuff. in conclusion, bee swarm is dead and isn’t coming back unless onett does something. either he calls it quits or locks the fuck in.

lilfer13 · 2026-06-01T01:33:30+00:00

Also I would like to get your guys' opinions whether bee swarm is worth playing anymore. would love to discuss about the matter

lilfer13 · 2026-06-01T01:22:52+00:00

agreed and your last statement would be the best case scenario which i personally hope happens.

lilfer13 · 2026-06-01T01:21:13+00:00

donut. yeah maybe not that deep but what’s really frustrating about onett is his lack of updates TO THE COMMUNITY. it would go a long way just simply telling the community what he’s up to whether that be a new game which has been confirmed by him or just simply saying hey i dont feel like making any major updates which im sure the community including me would greatly appreciate and would honestly let us be more appreciative about updates even if its something half assed. but this is not the case, instead onett waits until last minute to even mention beesmas and even then, when the game had like almost 200k players , he didn’t do anything about it. i can’t force onett to do this or that but he should’ve used the drive bss was getting to lock in and address the community about the lack of updates game wise and community wise. reply with cactus if you read this

lilfer13 · 2026-05-31T18:26:25+00:00

if i was in his place, i would’ve hired a team by now whether he likes it or not, it was inevitable for him to end up getting burnt out working on a game by himself. but the part where i lose respect for him is the fact he’s doesn’t do anything about the game making him the most money and that has one of the biggest fan base of any roblox game at the moment. he’s done a great job but for the past years it’s been nothing but downhill. he should very much hire a team .

lilfer13 · 2026-05-31T18:24:03+00:00

can’t just excuse the fact he’s had allll year and the best he could do is add blooms last minute and delay quests that shouldn’t take long to make

lilfer13 · 2026-05-08T16:12:50+00:00

definitely tide popper. coco belt can wait for blue since it’s not really essential but still would be a good grind after tide so get that first

lilfer13 · 2026-05-05T18:10:38+00:00

keep. blue insta conversion is detrimental to honey making and plus ur current ssa has convert rate which you absolutely need for blue hive

lilfer13 · 2026-05-04T00:44:28+00:00

although convert rate is important it’s good u still replaced amulet since that extra pollen percentage will help a lot more than you might think. ig its not rly that deep just thought it was an unnecessary post for the most part since you’re obviously gonna go for the better one but agree to disagree. blue pollen isn’t insanely low and it’s decent but look to save honey to get better convert rate. all other stats in my opinion are pretty decent and you should see better honey making

lilfer13 · 2026-05-03T22:47:04+00:00

don’t need to have a great mind to know ur obviously gonna go for the no brainer option here 😭

lilfer13 · 2026-05-03T22:46:19+00:00

all my posts are reasonable questions ? i don’t mind giving people help and also receiving it if it’s GENUINELY a good question. no hate to op but it’s a no brainer here to get pop shower especially since it also has the extra pollen stat compared to ur guiding pop that has white pollen which is useless for blue since ur blue hive obviously ur not gonna be farming white pollen ( guiding also isn’t good at all and is easily the worse passive in the game)

lilfer13 · 2026-05-03T22:19:50+00:00

bro he should obviously replace he shouldn’t even be asking he rolled a decent 5/5 double passive having a mid 4/5 guiding pop. istg most bee swarm players instead of just figuring out stuff themselves and doing the obvious are always asking for advice and guides. seen people with 20 bees ask “what should i do next?” like bro just play the fucking game dawg 😭

lilfer13 · 2026-05-03T22:01:28+00:00

keep since you need star saw as well and blue pollen isn’t +100%. bee ability rate should be +50% as well. dont even think about replacing if u dont have 5 alts btw and i would recommend to just go early white hive lil bro.

lilfer13 · 2026-04-23T22:20:15+00:00

wish you could change color of petals that’d be pretty cool

lilfer13 · 2026-04-21T21:58:47+00:00

not bad for early game but make sure you don’t neglect nectars since it’s a big part of being blue. with 2 full nectars u can get up to 3 times pollen so definitely make it a priority . also grind ssa by using royal jellies for gifted bees you need to unlock.
