All Flowers in Build A Beehive

Last updated:

Flowers are the foundation of everything in Build A Beehive. Every bee in your hive comes from a flower you planted �?there is no bee shop, no trading system, and no way to upgrade a bee without upgrading its source flower. This database covers every major flower type in the game, the bee each one attracts, typical growth times, and where to obtain seeds. Use it alongside our flower tier list to decide which blooms to prioritize and our bee database to understand the stats each flower produces.

How the Flower System Works

When you plant a seed in an empty garden plot, the flower grows over time. Once fully grown, a bee matching that flower type arrives and begins traveling between the bloom and your hive. The bee deposits pollen that converts into honey, which you collect and sell for cash. Better flowers attract faster bees with higher pollen carry, which means more honey per minute from the same plot.

Shop inventory restocks every five minutes with a random selection of seeds. Premium flowers sell out quickly and do not appear every cycle. Saving cash and checking the shop after each restock is essential �?our shop restock strategy guide covers timing in detail. You can also obtain rare seeds from active codes and event rewards.

Starter Flowers

Daisy

Daisy is the first flower every player plants. It costs almost nothing, grows within seconds, and attracts the slow Daisy Bee (12 m/s speed, 5 pollen carry). Daisies are always available in the shop and serve one purpose: getting your first bee working so you understand the collect-sell-buy loop. Once you can afford anything better, shovel Daisies out of hive-adjacent plots immediately. Keeping Daisies near the hive is the most common early-game mistake.

Mid-Tier Shop Flowers

Tulip

Tulip is the most important mid-game upgrade in Build A Beehive. Tulip seeds cost significantly more than starter blooms and take around five minutes to grow, but the resulting Tulip Bee flies at roughly 14 m/s and carries about 130 pollen per trip �?a 26x carry increase over Daisy Bee. Tulips appear in shop restocks inconsistently, so save cash and buy them on sight when stocked. This is the flower that transforms your income from pocket change to real progression speed.

Sunflower

Sunflower rivals Tulip for mid-to-late game value. Sunflower seeds attract high-speed bees with strong carry stats and tend to appear regularly enough in restocks to be a realistic farming target. The cost-versus-bee-quality ratio makes Sunflower one of the best flowers for filling multiple hive-adjacent plots during mid-game. Pair Sunflowers with Tulips for a balanced A-tier garden before moving to S-tier exclusives.

Bluebell

Bluebell sits above common mid-tier options in bee quality while remaining more obtainable than true endgame flowers. Bluebell seeds appear in shop restocks and are also rewarded by codes like HappyHoliday. The bee attracted by Bluebell lands firmly in A tier with speed and carry that outperform Tulip in some cases. If Bluebell appears during a restock and you have the cash, it is a strong upgrade over filler flowers in prime plots.

High-Tier and Premium Flowers

Fire Blossom

Fire Blossom is one of the highest-tier flowers in the game. It attracts elite bees with exceptional speed and massive pollen carry, making it a top honey-per-minute producer. Fire Blossom seeds appear infrequently in the shop and are also distributed through code redemptions. The cost is steep, but if you see Fire Blossom in stock and can afford it, buy immediately. Place it in the closest plot to your hive for maximum efficiency.

Morning Glory

Morning Glory is a premium bloom commonly associated with events and code rewards. SweetHourEvent grants a Morning Glory seed alongside Fairy Elixir II. The bee attracted by Morning Glory ranks in S tier with stats that compete with Fire Blossom. Morning Glory seeds rarely appear in regular shop restocks, so event participation and code redemption are your primary acquisition paths.

Event and Exclusive Flowers

During the Interstellar Event, players earn Event Coins by completing event tasks and collecting Stars during Weightless Weather. These coins exchange for exclusive event flowers not available in the standard shop. Event flowers attract bees with stats that rival or exceed premium shop blooms, making event participation valuable even for established players.

Event-exclusive blooms are documented in our event rewards database. Collect Stars during the first ten minutes of each hour when Weightless Weather activates, complete daily event tasks, and save Event Coins for the highest-tier flower exchanges rather than spending on minor consumables.

Growth Times and Shop Availability

Growth time scales with flower tier. Basic flowers like Daisy finish in seconds. Mid-tier blooms like Tulip require approximately five minutes. Premium and event flowers may take longer still. You can pay Robux to instantly grow any flower, but most players save Robux unless they are racing for a limited shop purchase before stock runs out.

Shop availability follows the five-minute restock cycle. Starter flowers are always in stock. Mid-tier and premium flowers appear randomly and sell out within seconds of restock when multiple players are online. Use our shop restock timer to know exactly when to check the shop next.

Flower-to-Bee Pairing Reference

Every flower attracts exactly one bee type. The pairing is fixed �?a Daisy always produces a Daisy Bee, a Tulip always produces a Tulip Bee, and so on. There is no randomness in bee assignment beyond Giant Flower mutations, which occasionally boost a bee beyond its normal tier. See the full stat breakdown for each bee in our bee database and ranked comparisons in the bee tier list.

Placement Tips

Where you plant matters as much as what you plant. Bees travel between their flower and the hive �?greater distance means slower honey production regardless of bee stats. Always place your highest-tier flowers in plots closest to the hive at the back of your garden. Remove low-tier flowers from prime slots using the shovel tool on slot 1. Our optimal garden layout guide and early game build guide walk through placement step by step.

Never remove a Giant Flower mutation regardless of its base type. Giant Flowers attract oversized bees with boosted stats that can outperform normal mid-tier bees. Read our giant flowers guide for details on this rare mechanic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do flowers attract bees in Build A Beehive?
Each flower type attracts a specific bee once it fully grows. You cannot buy bees directly �?plant the flower, wait for growth, and the matching bee arrives automatically to begin pollen trips between the flower and your hive.
Which flower should I buy first?
Start with a Daisy using your $10 starting cash. It grows quickly and gets your first bee working within minutes. Replace it with Tulips or Sunflowers as soon as your income supports better seeds.
How long do flowers take to grow?
Starter flowers like Daisy grow in seconds. Mid-tier blooms such as Tulip take around five minutes. Premium and event flowers may take longer. You can pay Robux to instantly grow any flower.
Where do event flowers come from?
Event flowers like Morning Glory are obtained through limited-time events, code redemptions, and Event Coin exchanges during the Interstellar Event. They rarely appear in the regular shop.
Should I fill every garden plot with flowers?
No. Concentrate your best flowers in plots closest to the hive. Cheap filler flowers in prime slots hurt income more than they help. See our optimal garden layout guide for placement strategy.
