If you want to give your bees something sweet and tasty, consider providing them with treats. These treats can include sugar candy, Neonberry treats, Pollen, and Agave nectar. These are all available at dispensers throughout the game. To get the most from your treat giveaway, be sure to follow the instructions provided by Mother Bear.

Neonberry treats
The most common foods for bees are pollen and nectar, which are collected by worker bees from flowers. These are used to feed larvae and other members of the colony. Pollen is a dry substance produced by flowers, while nectar is a liquid that attracts bees and helps them reproduce.
Sugar candy
Using sugar candy is a simple way to attract and feed bees. It is made by mixing powdered sugar with honey. This mixture should retain its shape for at least three hours, and can be distributed to honey bees the same way as sugar syrup. Using a candy board, you can place a portion of the sugar on the flat side, and pack the remaining sugar tightly. Place the board near the beehive’s family club.
Sugar candy for bees can be messy to make, so it is important to tape it properly. You can use wax paper to hold the candy board in place. When you tape it, make sure the edges are secure, because sugar can leak. Even when the candy is thick and well-made, there is still a chance that some of the sugar will leak. You can also put a small amount of extra sugar on the top and bottom of the board to prevent leaks.
Pollen
Pollen is an important food source for honeybees, and a diet rich in different kinds of it is believed to influence their health. Studies have shown that pollen quality impacts various aspects of bee life, including ovarian activation, body size, and physiological metabolism. Moreover, pollen diversity likely plays an important role in bee immunity.
While the effects of pollen on human health are still under study, bees have long used it to boost their health. It has been used in ancient civilizations to treat certain ailments and reduce the incidence of allergies. However, ingesting pollen should be done with caution, as it can cause allergic reactions.
Agave nectar
Honey is high in fructose, which is a problem for many people, and agave nectar has a much lower glycemic index at 10 to 20. Honey contains approximately forty percent fructose and a trace amount of glucose. However, agave nectar has about seventy-five percent fructose and only trace amounts of other sugars. The fructose in agave nectar is converted to fat in the liver, which increases triglyceride levels in the blood. This leads to insulin resistance and reduced sensitivity to insulin.
The high fructose content in agave nectar can be detrimental to humans who are at risk for metabolic syndrome, diabetes and obesity. Although it is not a known cause of cancer, the high fructose content of agave nectar is associated with cancer growth.
Table sugar
Beekeepers may need to feed their bees at certain times of the year, such as during the spring and autumn, when nectar stores are low, or during a late season swarm. However, they must be careful to choose the right kind of sugar for their hives. Feeding the wrong type of sugar can cause nosema and sickness in the bees. It is also important to follow the instructions on the sugar packet carefully to avoid a hive invasion.
The process of making table sugar treats for bees is similar to that of making hard candy. First, you boil a small amount of sugar and water in a saucepan. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature and make sure the sugar is not boiling too hard. When the syrup reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool down. Then, knead the sugar mixture like bread.
Moon charms
You can get Moon charms for bees by collecting them from various sources. Strawberry, for instance, has 8 bees, while other treats have nine. Bitterberries, a type of berry, increases the bees’ bond by 100 and also makes them radioactive. It’s also possible to get them from Spiders, Scorpions, and the Tunnel Bear. The King Beetle also drops them. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can also get them by defeating the Commando Chick, or from Cub Buddy.
Moon charms for bees are rare items, so you can find them in different forms. If you’re looking for a more unusual charm, you can purchase a silver or bronze one with a bronze bee. Both of these charms can be worn as rings. They’re designed by Jenny Byrne, a jewelry designer who is inspired by Asian design aesthetics. The pieces are made from sterling silver, gold fill, mother of pearl, or ancient ivory. The material you choose can affect the time it takes to deliver the charms to you.
