A Field Boost is a stacking buff that provides a bonus to pollen gained, from all sources, from a specific field. Each stack of a field boost increases pollen gained from its field by 100% and has a limit of 400% or x4. Unlike field winds, which last for 30 minutes, field boosts last for 15 minutes, regardless of the source.
Field boosts are obtained through the following methods:
- Using the Field Booster, Red Field Booster, Blue Field Booster,
- Using the Coconut Dispenser (only boosts the Coconut Field).
- Using
Glitter. - Giving Presents to NPCs during the Beesmas 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024 events.
- Using Field Dice, Smooth Dice or Loaded Dice.
- Redeeming certain codes.
Multiple sources of field boosts can be used to reach much higher stacks. With each application, the multipliers add up and the duration resets back to 15 minutes. Thus, it is possible to get a boost from a field booster, use it until there are only a few seconds left, then activate an item that gives a boost for that same field to get another 15 minutes of boosting, such as codes, glitter, and field dice. This time at a higher multiplier and be repeated once again to reach an even higher multiplier. Field boosts stack up to four times.
A field that has been boosted by a field booster or field dice gives off white sparkles. If the player leaves the game and comes back while a boost is still active, the boost in pollen will still be there, but the field will no longer sparkle.

- If the player redeems certain codes that give a field boost that is x5 or more, it will only give the player a x4 boost.
- The old icon for field boosts was simply an image of grass placed on a background with a color that corresponded to that of the boosted field.
- The Ant Field cannot be boosted using glitter, field dice, or field boosters. Trying to boost the Ant Field will result in a message that says, "You can't boost a challenge field."
- Based on an unused icon representing this field, it's likely that the plan was for it to be possible to boost at an unknown update before the idea was scrapped.
