In the world of Grow a Garden, Honey is a special in-game currency introduced in the Bizzy Bees update. While it originally appeared as part of an event, Honey is now a permanent currency that plays a vital role in farming, trading, and progression.
How to Get Pollinated Fruits
The core method for producing Honey is through pollinated fruits, which are obtained via the Swarm event or by purchasing from a merchant. Here’s how pollination works:
Pollination Methods
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| Swarm Event | Periodic event that brings bees to your garden to pollinate plants. |
| Bee Pets | Hatched from bee eggs, they assist in speeding up the pollination process. |
| Merchants | Sometimes sell pollinated fruits directly. |
| Plant Selection | Moonmelons, Moon Mangoes, and Peppers are best for fast pollination. |
Using the Honey Compressor
Once you’ve collected at least 10 kg of pollinated fruits, you can convert them into Honey using the Honey Compressor, a machine that appears only when the Honey Shop Merchant is present.
Honey Compressor Steps
- Deposit 10 kg or more of pollinated fruits.
- Wait 3 minutes for the compressor to process.
- Collect your Honey!
