    You will only find them in your fields, quite rarely. Keep producing several kinds of crops. :) ^^

    For most people it usually takes pretty much the whole 4 days to find all 10 bees, so don't be surprised if it takes hours and hours before you see another one. There pretty much isn't anything you can do to help them along, either, other than just keep planting and harvesting. I find that it works best if I just try to forget about them, and farm as usual.

    Yeah I wouldn't focus on them too much. There's a 4 day time limit for a reason meaning the chances of finding all 10 in 24 hours is slim. Keep producing and running your farm as you normally would and chances are you will complete to bee task before the deadline.

    *grin* And all that being said, I confess that I do find myself cracking open the beehive to check how many after nearly every harvest, no matter how hard I try to remain calm! ;>

    Does anyone know
    1) how many bees have to be collected before one can get the reward and
    2) where you can find out how many bees have been collected?

    LOL I love to see the smiles on the bees--I hope to see lots of them this round of the event :D

    I found 1 in the wheat that had been ready for hours and couple rounds of cabbage has produced no bees. I think i will just operate my farm as normal and grow lots of corn and cabbage during the day.

    One tip i have is that leaving the harvest set for a few extra seconds seems to allow greater frequency in drop rewards. I think of it as my little prize is being loaded for me if i am a little patient ;)

    **cb1100--the car at the top of the farm--click it and then the beehive will hold the bees you have gotten so far. You need to find 10.

    you need to find 10 bees. click on the yellow car and a window will open. it will have a bee hive. the bee hive has 10 silhouettes of bees, if you have found one bee then you will see One bee and 9 silhouettes.

    You can ask, but I doubt you will get it back. Don't feel bad, I did that when I played it the first time.

    In the past I have found that on average I get 2 or 3 bees a day. So patience, patience, patience.

    It is all too easy to do :( I also lost a chunk of gold; seems I bought special seeds with it :( had no intent to buy anything for now; will have to be very careful in future; it was an expensive mistake;

    Has anyone actually ever managed to find all 10 bees without spending gold or playing 24/7? I play pretty regularly, but can't be online every hour of the day and night and have so far never managed to finish the bee event. I also don't mind very occasionally buying small amounts of gold (I think that if I really like a game it's only fair for me to financially support it a bit), but I find 990 gold pieces just for one bee pretty extortionate and not really worth the prize.

    I have managed without gold, but not without being very very active. However, sometimes I made it way within the time limit. So I think it should be possible with average activity. It also holds a great deal of luck. Sometimes I bought 1 or 2 bees, sometimes I just let it go by, sometimes I just got them all within time :) It really depends. I had before like megs now, 6 in 1 day. Sometimes I only got 1 per day (which was not enough). So it should be possible... If the circumstances are right for you :)

    I found 4 bees in the last four hours. I have been harvesting corn like mad. Found 2 bees in wheat this morning. Hopefully I will have found all of them tomorrow this time. I did in the past find that from 07:00 (German time) is the best time to find bees or maybe I was just lucky those times.

    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 :)

    Just keep farming. They will come when they want :D And if they do not come, no worries, you only missed a few rose seeds. Plenty of other opportunities to get those ^^
  • ElizabethKElizabethK Posts: 519

    Definitely better drop rate, all 10 in 6 hours. :D

    In the past most of the time I would get all 10 but it would take most of the time allotted. I never spent gold on them, not worth it just for the rose seeds and humus.

    10 in six hours? You're hogging all our bees ElizabethK, share some with the rest of us ;) I've still only got 2...

    Edit: Just after I typed this a third one turned up! Maybe they listened and now they're flying over from your farm :)

    I am sending all my bees out to everyone who still needs them :)
