    I guess I'll just keep hoping then... I've got 2 bees so far, haven't had one for ages now, so hopefully another one will pop up before the day is over. Either way, I won't lose any sleep over it :)

    I can see I have been very lucky with my bees :) I think mostly I had from corn; 2 I know of from wheat and 2 from cabbage; I do think its mainly a matter of the luck beeing with u; and although I am online most of the time I am not always here; most of us have another life o.o so often the farm is left to its own devices, making long-term stuff; I wish every1 the best of luck with bees :)

    I've never had a problem and have always completed the event in around 1 day. My experience hasn't changed from the first time I took part -

    I have 6 fields which I guess is why I find bees so quickly and I sometimes find 2 in one batch harvest -

    I found all 10 bees around. 12 hours on the first day.
    I grew most common maize and common wildflowers, because it provides many harvests.
    My logic says: The more harvest = the greater the chance of finding bees

    I have all 10 in not quite 24 hours.... it can be done, best is to have a nice mix of crops continually on the go. In 5 fields I tend to have either 2 or 3 corn, 2 cabbage and 1 special wheat. Overnight, I tend to plant wheat or special cabbage in all. Tonight it was wheat and I had 2 bees in the 5 fields.

    Hmmm... Still only 3 bees, but then again I've only been able to play for about an hour today so far. Maybe my 4 fields just aren't enough. I've been considering adding a 5th one as I can't seem to grow enough crops to keep up with my mill anyway, so I suppose it has to be done at some point. Glad to see quite a few of you manage to finish the event in time though so I know it's possible :)

    Anna, I do not think its about how much you play; I am surely not here 24/7 and I had all mine in 24 hours; I think there is a lot of luck needed; I only have 4 fields and most of mine were from corn; I hope you find the rest in time :)

    4 fields should be enough Anna, if you're planting flowers or corn as they give the most bees per hour, the trouble is that they also require the most intensive play, which is the way it is most of the way through this game - the most player intensive crops give the most profit and the most finds. GGS want to take over your life, MWAHAHAHAHA..!

    Thanks for the encouragement guys :) I decided against adding a 5th field for now as I'd need to expand my farm first or get rid of something in order to fit it. I found two more bees, so I've got 5 now, which means I may still make it within the time limit!

    Well, drat! Eva snuck away with her bees while I had her shoved off the edge of my screen, and I was still missing 2 on one of my farms. Serves me right for losing track of how long she'd be here, and forgetting to switch back from cabbage to corn again! :-/

    almost 40 hours left on the timer? I think you will be ok for 2 more bees ;)

    **D-j2--Um I think it is gone. Just keep going so you don't loose the chance to get the bees. There lots of good tips in this thread and a few others--scroll up.

    I think it's time to clear my cache, because I seriously did not have her showing on any of my farms anymore! But I just now got the prize on that last farm, so I'm all happy now anyway. :)

    At least you've reassured me that I was not totally braindead for thinking I still had plenty of time left, though! ;D

    When you mouse over the button to buy the bee it does tell you "buy bee for 990 gold" sorry but I do not think you will get your gold back, you did choose to buy that bee. :(

    If you want, you can contact support and ask them for it back. Just use the contact us link at the bottom of the page. Good luck

    If you just keep planting wheat, and coming back in the 6 hours it takes to make, you will get at least 1 bee, with 4 fields making the wheat. For a little more discipline then usual, you can get the bees in time.
