Flame

Not to be confused with the flame trail produced by Fire Ants.
Flames are objects that can be produced by certain tools, ability tokens, or passive abilities. Flames have a percentage chance to be spawned by certain bees when gathering, lasting for 4 seconds. Each second, the flames collect 4 red, 2 white, or 1 blue pollen from 9 surrounding flowers (+2% per red bee and +4% per gifted red bee if spawned by the player, +10% per bee level if spawned by a bee), deals 10 + (25% of base Bee Attack) damage per second to any mob (15 if spawned by the player), and grants the player flame heat.
Flames can be generated by the Scythe, Fire Bee, Demon Bee, Spicy Bee's Inferno, bees with the or beequips, Fire Mask's Ignite passive, and Demon Mask's X-Flame passive. 
Flames are used to help grow Scorching Stars.
== Flame Heat ==
Flame Heat grants extra Red Pollen and Bee Attack starting at x1.2 Red Pollen and +5% Bee Attack Multiplier. The more flames around the player, the faster the Flame Heat grows up to a maximum of 20 seconds at x2 Red Pollen and +25% Bee Attack Multiplier. Flame Heat boosts Spicy Bee's Movespeed and gather speed and can also be consumed by Precise Bee to convert Pollen into Honey.
== Gathering Flames ==
The Gathering Flames passive gives a chance for a bee to spawn a flame while gathering pollen from a field. Gathering Flames+ gives a higher chance for a bee to spawn a flame.
There is a 35% chance (50% if gifted) for Fire Bees' Gathering Flames passive to spawn a flame while gathering, and a 65% (85% if gifted) chance for Demon Bees' Gathering Flames+ to spawn a flame while gathering. 
The Gathering Flames passive chance can be increased with the or beequip for individual bees.

== Dark Flames ==
Flames that are hit with Dark Scythe will be converted into dark flames, a dark violet version of normal flames which collects pollen from 13 surrounding flowers (instead of 9), deals 50% more damage, and grants dark heat and also normal flame heat. Dark flames also grant 33% more growth to Scorching Stars.
