When a Bee returns to the hive, that role gets erased. Every time a Bee leaves the hive, the game assigns it a role. Instead, the same specimen can act as a worker or a fighter depending on what the current situation calls for. Technically, Bees do not have a fixed role. During Winter, they will not leave the Box. All Bees will return to their Box at dusk, but they will leave it during daytime one at a time every 37.5 seconds. When destroyed by a Hammer, it will return 1 Honeycomb and 1 Boards, and release any Bees inside the Box.Ī Bee Box will (re)spawn a new Bee every 4 game hours (2 minutes) up to the maximum population of 4 per Box.

It takes 1 Honeycomb, 4 Bees, and 2 Boards to build. Bee Boxes are found in the Food Tab and require a Science Machine to prototype. A Bee Box is a craftable Structure that uses Bees to accumulate Honey that can be harvested.
