Honey Bee (NPC)

This page is for the quest-giving NPC. For the worker bee version, see Honey Bee.
Honey Bee is a Quest Giver and one of the three permanent Quest Bees, the others being Gifted Riley Bee and Gifted Bucko Bee. Honey Bee is located on the rock near the Pine Tree Forest. Added in the 2/1/2019 Update, its original purpose was to give players something to do while the next update was being worked on, but it has now become a Permanent Quest Giver.
It doesn't require a Translator to give quests, making it different from the other quest-giving bees.
It used to be located next to the ramp leading to the Basic Bee Gate, but it was moved behind the biggest tree in the Pine Tree Forest in the 6/6/2020 Update.

==Tips==
*Fighting Stick Bug and Stick Nymphs and/or the Mondo Chick are very effective for completing its quests, as they spawn many honey tokens. Defeating normal mobs for their token rewards can also help with Honey Bee's quests.
*Defeating many Wild Windy Bees is another way of completing this quest faster.
*Farming sprouts is a viable way, as they spawn many honey tokens.
*Coin Scatter is also an effective way of collecting honey tokens quickly.
**Coin Scatter can be easily triggered by having multiple Stubborn Bees, Honey Bees, Carpenter Bees and Vector Bees.
**Use Coin Scatter on fields where there aren't many decorations blocking them, such as the Mountain Top Field.
*Catching coconuts and meteors produces many honey tokens.
**Summoning a honeystorm is also an option.
*Lower level fields such as the Sunflower Field spawn more honey tokens than higher-level fields such as the Mountain Top Field.
*Have bees that can spawn honey gift tokens in your hive in order to complete the quests faster.
*Using the Gummy Star passive would be effective as it spawns many honey tokens.
*When the quest is finished, claim it ONLY when you're about to boost due to its 2x conversion.
==Trivia== 
*Honey Bee's Initial dialogue was changed through out theupdates, the old one was: BuzzzUh zz zz.. buzz buzz! (Honey Bee stares deeply into your eyes) (It's trying to tell you something) (That it won't be here long, just until the next update) (And if you complete its quests, it'll boost your conversion rate for a while!) Bzz bzz buzz bz!!! (It smiles in agreement, it can sense that you understand).
