Pollen Flowers

Pollen Flowers are flowers that produce pollen, which are used to level up butterflies and to feed and grow up the Bee Fly. They can be upgraded with Flutterbucks to make more pollen per shift and getting better Honeydew values.

There is currently a maximum total of six Pollen Flowers in the forest with fixed spots. They come in four colours: blue, pink, red and yellow. The Pollen Flowers can be affected by Special Abilities of butterflies and of the Buff-Tailed Bumble Bee.

Shifts

To get pollen from Pollen Flowers, you must choose a shift, which can be hurried with Flutterbucks. File:MakePollenOvercapped.png The amount of pollen you can keep in your forest at once is limited to a maximum of 1,000 pollen per Pollen Flower (irrespective of upgrade level). It is possible to get over the cap, inter alia by using the Honeybee, but it's not possible to start new shifts until you have fed enough pollen to your butterflies. The difference between the cap and the chosen shift must be at least the amount the shift produces (without doubled by the Honeybee) to be available.

Upgrading

File:ButtonUpgradePollenFlowerNATutorial.png	During the Tutorial you get introduced on upgrading Pollen Flowers, before reaching this step, the button will be greyed out.
File:ButtonUpgradePollenFlower.png	Each following upgrade will require spending Flutterbucks: First upgrade to 2nd Stage 5 Second upgrade to 3rd Stage 10 Third upgrade to 4th Stage 20 Fourth upgrade to 5th Stage 40. Upgrading a Pollen Flowers completly will cost 75 in total, upgrading all six Pollen Flowerss 445, as the upgrade during the Tutorial is for free.
File:ButtonUpgradePollenFlowerNAlvl05.png	As soon as you fully upgraded a Pollen Flower, the button will be greyed out again.

Production Values

The shorter the shift, the more pollen you will get per honeydew invested. A longer shift will result in more pollen, but at a higher cost. (This table doesn't reflect the usage of one or more Honeybees or the usage of the Special Ability to half the cost of the next pollen flower shift.)

Spots

File:ForestWithFixedPollenFlowerSpots.png

By expanding the forest one by one every now and then instead of a grow spot a Pollen Flower spot becomes available. These spots are fix and except for the first two flowers they are independend from game progress.

The picture at the right shows the spots, where Pollen Flowers will become available.

Colours

There are four different possible colours a Pollen Flower can look like. Currently it seems like the first one is a blue one and the second a pink one. The colours of the following unlocked ones are completly random, so there is no guarantee all four colours will be present in your forest. It's not possible to influence or change the colour of a Pollen Flower.

Notes

• When fusing butterflies together, you can save pollen by only leveling up one of the two butterflies you plan to fuse. Fusing two butterflies that are both maxed out at level one will produce a butterfly at level one that can reach level two. Fusing two butterflies that can only reach level one, but are at level zero will produce a butterfly that can reach level two that is at level zero. Fusing one level zero butterfly with a level one (assuming both only have the potential to reach level one) will produce a butterfly that is at level one and can reach level two. Since fusing two butterflies will create a butterfly with a higher potential but the same level as the better of the two that were fused, you should only level up your best butterfly of each species when fusing.
• The pollen cap was introduced with Update 1.85 on May 7^th 2014 to reduce lags in the game.
