A Bear Bee with a Pinecone Beequip.
A Beequip is a type of inventory item that can be worn by bees. When equipped to a bee, they alter its stats and can also give bonuses to the hive. Beequips can only be given to bees that are at or above the level of the Beequip. Some Beequips can only be given to certain bees or types of bees, for example, the Bubble Light requires a bee with an energy mutation.
Beequip Cases and Storage[]
The Beequip Case.
When a Beequip is obtained, they are initially stored in a Beequip Case. The Beequip Case is obtained when the player first talks to Dapper Bear at his shop. The player starts off with five slots but can obtain additional slots from Dapper Bear's quests and Bee Bear's quests during Beesmas 2020, with the total amount of slots being 15 Beequips. Beequips in a case can be given to bees.

The Beequip Storage.
The quest reward icon for the Beequip Storage
If all the slots of the Beequip case are filled, Beequips are moved to the Beequip Storage, located near the Dandelion Field, or the Public Sticker Board in the Hive Hub. Beequips in the storage cannot be given to bees. By default, the storage has 10 slots. However, the player can purchase 90 additional slots, for a max total of 100, with a total of 123,500 tickets. Additional slots could have been obtained by completing some of Bee Bear's quests during Beesmas 2020. If both the storage and case are full, the Beequips are stored in the inbox. The inbox can store the player's 25 most recent Beequips, but they have a 48-hour time limit before being discarded automatically. If the player doesn't want a certain Beequip in the inbox to be deleted, they can empty a slot in the case, and then they can keep the Beequip.
There are special Beequips that are permanent and can be stored in the ‘permanents’ section of the Beequip Storage without taking up any space. However, those special Beequips will still require a case slot in order to be equipped to a bee. Currently, there are no permanent Beequips, since the ones that used to be (the Reindeer Antlers and Festive Wreath) were made normal Beequips, with Onett saying that he might get rid of the permanent Beequip feature.
Beequips can be moved around the Beequip case, storage, and inbox by dragging them to the location they would like to be put at.
Potential[]
Beequips have a potential that can range from 0-5 stars, but potential is measured in 10 points (including 0), since those stars can appear halved. The higher the potential a Beequip has, the higher chance the Beequip having better base stats and stats increase when modified using Waxes. The potential of a Beequip cannot change.
Stats, Waxes, Chances[]
Each type of wax has its own "Upgrades Value", which can be essentially taken as "Upgrade Rolls" amount. (To clarify, 1 upgrade roll can only upgrade 1 stat).[1]
| Wax | Upgrades Value |
|---|---|
 Soft Wax
|
1 |
 Hard Wax
|
2 |
 Caustic Wax
|
4 |
| Debug Wax
|
4 |
 Swirled Wax
|
0 |
- Based on those values, the wax applies that amount of upgrade rolls every time it's used, simply a hard wax has upgrade value of 2 soft waxes and caustic wax has upgrade value of 4 soft waxes. All individual Beequip stats have their own capacity of upgrades they can get from waxing. If a stat had reached its capacity of waxing upgrades, waxes will no longer affect that stat. So, since Beequips can hold on only up to 5 waxes, using higher tier waxes can get a Beequip more upgrade rolls for its stats.[1]
- Each stat has its own upgrade chance, and the reason why they don't add up to 100 most of the times is because they're actually weights and vary between each Beequip's potential. Per example: if a Beequip has two stats whose chance is 100%, it's just that their weight is 1, and if said Beequip also has two stats whose chance is 2%, it just means their weight is 0.02. Given this, if you add up all numbers you'll end up with a total weight of 2.04, divide that number by any value and you'll get the exact chance of pulling said stat. [1]
- Each stat has its own unique upgrade value(s) it gets every time its successfully upgraded. There can be maximum a pool of 2 upgrade values a stat can get when upgraded, and usually there is a "Bias" that is facing towards a lesser upgrade value. %Stats usually have upgrade values of 1% and 2%, if there is no Bias, it will be a 50% chance to roll each of them, if there is a x3 Bias towards first value, the chance of getting first value would be 75% (3/4), if the Bias is x4 it will be 80% (4/5).[1]
- Each stat has its own Max Value, and most of the stats have their own Base Value, which can range based on the Beequip's potential. For most stats, realistically, it's impossible to get Max Values since the chances of getting the same upgrade several times in a row grows exponentially each upgrade roll, as an example, the chance of getting 25% Honey At Hive (The maximum value for that stat) for the hive bonus on a 10 potential
Candy Ring with 2 Caustic Waxes and 1 Hard Wax is approximately about 0.0000006% (1/166,666,667) and with 5 Hard Waxes it's about 0.00000008% (1/1,250,000,000) (excluding the chance of upgrade rolls succeeding in other 2 stats of Candy Ring which have lower upgrade chance).[1]
Beequips[]
Non-Event beequips were added on April 1, 2022, and can be obtained from planters (the Dandelion Field has a much higher chance of dropping beequips than other fields).
Beesmas beequips were added during Beesmas 2020 and are only obtainable during Beesmas events, but can still be used year-round.
