Hive Basics

Sample guide to claiming a hive, hatching bees, expanding slots, and using the hive efficiently.

What The Hive Does

The hive is where bees rest, where pollen converts into honey, and where players hatch eggs into hive slots. According to the Hive wiki, players claim a hive when joining a server, then use eggs and royal jelly on slots to build their roster.

A basic hive starts with 25 slots. Players can buy more hive slots later, increasing the number of bees they can use and allowing stronger specialization.

Early Hive Advice

Do not think of the hive as a collection screen only. It is your main build system. A balanced early hive should help with collection, conversion, quest tasks, tokens, and enemy damage.
