    I got all the bees finally after using gold to quicken the corn but had to use hundreds of gold to do so
    so don't say its not about gold as I had used none b4 and planted and planted and planted but only 6 bees

    its 1am here in Australia and iv been going for 13 hours straight just planting so that proves that been active has nothing to do with it

    Yeah, still trying, need 2 more. And no, it is not about gold, it is about luck. Look at my co-op members. They are also active and got them in no-time. I am quite active and still don't have all of them. Last time I also managed without gold and the time before I think I bought one with gold because it was the first time for me (or over all) and I just wanted to have them all to see what happened :3

    I finished easily and im only level 37, 4 fields, three level 3's, one level 4. It is about activity, I got them from cabbage and wheat.

    I found all the bees,too, but only 1 in the wheat, the others in the corn and cabbage. I dont know the exact numbers, but I think I had more in the corn than in the cabbage.

    I think it's all in the activity and having some luck also. I was away all day yesterday and still found all the bees with about 12 hours left.

    I planted over 500 flowers at least and i have nothing. Planted about 200 corn and only got 1 bee. Before I planted some wheat and got 2 from that. After two days I only have 3 bees!! I have been on all day as well! Not in much luck am i?

    has nothing to do with activity just look at my post #31
    its 1am here in Australia and iv been going for 13 hours straight

    so don't you try and tell everyone that its activity

    and I think its up to ggs who they want to get the bees coz it seems like there is a huge gap
    coz last time it was on I wasn't even looking for them and got them really easy
    and the time b4 that only got 2 after days of no sleep and I bet others have had the same problem
    so I think this event needs to be fixed fast b4 the next bee event arrives otherwise there will be a lot
    of threads like this one in the future

    I agree...there is a spot of luck like in any game and hard work does matter, but push come to shove, for every player who gets gets all their bees from hard work there are scores of others who won't make it and even people who use a small amount of gold may fail...but as in life gold "real money is usually a very big factor. Call me foolish ,but I personal believe 99% of what people post is true in this game. If a player says he did it ALL with hard work they did, if they got 3 bees from 4 fields at one time they did, I think a little less doubting each other and remember it's the GAME not the PLAYERS we should be worried about. Be safe and God Bless

    Whelp, I did manage eventually, but it was a close call. Got the last bee 4 mins before the end. I did plan on buying that last bee if I hadn't gotten it ^^ Yay!

    At the end it said pity you did not collect all the bee's. It should have said Sorry you did not use GOLD to buy the Bee's that was needed to finish on time.

    I'm pretty outspoken when it comes to bashing GGS for the gold diggers they are but I never get the sense that it's about gold usage for these collection events. I don't have any level 5 fields (I do have 6 fields in total though) and always manage to finish the collection events really early. I don't really treat these events with a lot of urgency so I continue to do my normal routine of harvests. I got bees from all the different harvests from flowers to wheat so I strongly believe it's being lucky on the random generation.

    This event seemed really short compared to the last one and despite being online for hours at a time I only got 5 and I too have six fields. Nearly 24 hours without even one solitary bee seems a little harsh regardless of what crop I'm growing.

    I have 6 level 2 fields and finished this event after about 15 hours of play, playing the way that I normally play, apart from managing an extra overnight wheat crop to gain the level 42 sell 700 wheat quest for 450XP & $20,000. I didn't even notice that the event was on at first as I tend to click through and ignore the bit of the screen where events appear as they are mostly irrelevent to me, so I got one bee without noticing, then my impression was that it seemed to take about half a day before I got any more, then they seemed to come more frequently. I just played my normal game to maximise profit ie mostly 4 coops -> apple orchard, 1 sty -> apple orchard and 4 byres -> apple orchard. Because of the large numbers of flickering icons you get when harvesting, I didn't notice finding most of the bees, and was surprised when I looked at the beehive to see that I'd got about 7, which made me realise that the event was attainable, whereas, previously, because of the absence of bees for half a day, and the fact that I knew I was going to be out for a day, I'd thought that it was unattainable. I was settling down for a relaxing days play on Sunday to find the rest of them, harvested my overnight humused wheat (6x98) and got the remaining 2 bees immediately, which was nice !

    I strongly think the bees are all to do with luck! Because I am slightly disabled, I have no job and spend a lot of time on this game. Like in a LOT of time. And several people who play less then me, because of having jobs/kids or college get their bees faster then me on quite a regular base.

    I got them this time again though, but I did miss them too sometimes.

    I didn't make it last time either, but I am hoping that I will get them all this time. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

    harvest all fields with one crop.

    Thats what i do, and i have 6 bees now.
    I get them with all the crops, not just in corn, or wheat.

    good luck

    is there anything special you have to do to collect the bees? How do you know how many you have? Where are they collected?

    Wow Maxiroy, that is really fast! *pouts*

    Texfireangel, you get them from harvesting fields. You can most of the time see them pop up like the collectibles, they are really cute. You can check how many you have by clicking on the bee lady with her little car.

    Rheanneke said that planting your fields with one crop seems to work best, and I've heard that before in my coop too. So not 2 fields with flowers and 3 in corn, but all with the same.

    Thanks guys! I don't really know what I did though. Gwen the first time I did the bees I needed 3 bees and it was down to about an hour and I accidently hit the buy bee button. I got nothing at the end and on top of that out 990 in gold. I could have slapped myself!

    When I realised how quickly I was getting them, I played intensively just to see if I could complete the event in one day, and I've just completed it in 18 hours 49. I was asleep for 9 of those hours, but had sowed 588 wheat as I do every night, so the farm was still running and I've been out for about 3 of the hours so was growing cabbage in that time, but otherwise I was doing the most profitable production of corn -> apple orchard.

    I've noted how many harvests each bee took to find here -
    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5Bwwzmesy6ORWEzcUQ4dDJPSkk/edit?usp=sharing

    I have 6 level 2 fields and for most of this afternoon one of them was growing wheat whilst I found the most bees, so I don't believe that growing different crops at the same time makes a difference. What does make a difference is finding the crop that gives the most bees. I don't have enough data to be certain, but I got the most from harvesting corn.
