Weather Effects
Replacement Mechanic - Has a 1 in 3 chance of occurring instead of a regular bee swarm event
10x Crafting Speed Boost - Bizzy Bear Crafting recipes are accelerated by 10x during the event
Triple Pollination Power - 3 bees are sent to pollinate the players' fruits simultaneously, tripling the amount of Pollinated fruits per cycle
Visual Upgrade - Neon colored bees fly out wearing bright orange hard hats and fly much quicker than normal bees
Enhanced Productivity - One full event can yield up to 67 pollinated fruits compared to standard bee swarm
Construction Theme - Bees go into working mode wearing construction hats, signaling they're on the job
Visual Description
During Working Bee Swarm, the sky turns a bright golden-orange color and neon colored bees wearing bright orange hard hats fly out of the beehive much quicker than normal bees. The usual bee icon has a hammer on the bee, and when clicked shows 'x10 Craft Speed! Higher POLLINATED fruit chance'. Instead of black and yellow bees, multi-colored construction hat-wearing bees aggressively fly from the central hive, creating a bustling construction site atmosphere in your garden.

Best Way to Optimize
Focus on planting Divine and Prismatic rarity crops before the event to maximize the value of triple pollination. Prepare crafting materials in advance to take full advantage of the 10x crafting speed boost. Plant multi-harvest crops like Star Fruit, Moon Melon, and Beanstalk to maximize pollinated fruit yields during the enhanced event.
Pro Tips
Preparation Strategy - Plant crops 45 minutes before potential Working Bee Swarm events to ensure mature fruits are ready for triple pollination
Crafting Timing - Use the 10x crafting speed boost strategically for expensive or time-consuming recipes that normally take longer
Enhanced Yield - With three simultaneous pollination, you can get three pollinated fruits at the same time instead of one every 30 seconds
Visual Recognition - Look for the hammer bee icon in the top corner and neon bees with orange hard hats to identify Working Bee Swarm
Materials Ready - Prepare all crafting materials beforehand since the 10x speed boost only lasts 10 minutes
