Glitches

"When the Mythic Egg gets the math wrong." This information in this article can often change and may become inaccurate. You can help Bee Swarm Simulator Wiki by updating or improving existing text.

Glitches, or Bugs, are situations that can occur in-game that are unintended, and thus likely to be patched in future updates. Some of these glitches can be detrimental to gameplay while others are mostly visual and won't affect players.

Note: Glitches (mostly visual) with an asterisk (*) next to its name means this glitch can happen in other games, as well as Roblox Studio.

Mob Glitches

Mobs Unable to Move

Occasionally, a mob will get trapped in the collision box of certain objects around it. This usually renders them unable to move or escape, which makes killing them easier. The mob can still be attacked and will still drop rewards normally. This glitch seems to happen primarily to Mantises when they leap into objects, such as a wall. Sometimes, the King Beetle gets stuck in the corner which says "Song Name" near it, making it easy to kill him. This can also happen to Stick Bug in certain places.

In mid-2022, during the days of 7/19-20, 7/22-31, 8/2, and 8/3, all mobs (Excluding the Werewolf, Stick Bug, Tunnel Bear, Wild Windy Bee, Rogue Vicious Bee, and Aphids) would be frozen in place upon entering the area they spawn in. Affected bosses include the Coconut Crab, King Beetle, and Stump Snail. This makes killing them easier, as the mobs will not be able to voluntarily attack the player. On 7/21/2022, Onett would fix this glitch (temporarily) and added the code "FrozenBugReboot" to suffice for the glitch. The glitch would become fixed and unfixed for multiple weeks until 8/3/2022, when Onett would finally fix the glitch permanently in servers of version 448+.

Frozen Field Defenders

When the player jumps while a mob is going towards them to attack, the mob freezes and does not move towards the player again until the player lands on the ground. This generally makes killing mobs easier. This does not apply to Stump Snail, Ants, Bosses, Aphids, and Cave Monsters.

Out of Bounds Mobs

Mobs will occasionally go out of bounds (outside of the map). It is unknown why or how this happens, but when it does, mobs will attempt to walk to their desired spawn field. However, bees can still attack it, with it acting the same as if players were to kill it in the field it defends.

Collapsing Mobs

A collapsed Ladybug.

This glitch is purely visual, but it can be triggered when a mob, such as a Ladybug or Rhino Beetle is defeated while it is trying to move. The mob's head or any other part can move inward. This glitch seems more common with the Ladybug and Spider.

Invisible Meshes*

If the meshes (notably the Chick egg shell and both of the Stump Snail's body and shell) doesn't load yet, they will appear invisible. This is purely a visual glitch. This glitch can be fixed by waiting until the meshes load or by rejoining the game.

King Beetle in the Fields

Sometimes, when a player dies or glitches their way out of King Beetle's Lair, King Beetle's head and health can be seen outside from the Blue Flower Field. This is not rare, as it happens very often when players die. This seems to be because the script that lets you see its health is still running.

An example of an invisible Stump Snail.

King Beetle Stuck in Flower

This glitch is quite rare. To activate it, the player should stand near the entrance to the King Beetle's Lair then let it attack them. When they die, there is a very small chance that it'll go out of its lair and get stuck at the flowers near the entrance. To fix this, either go inside the lair again or rejoin.

Spinning King Beetle

This glitch can occur when fighting King Beetle, causing it to spin around. This glitch is pretty rare. The cause is currently unknown.

Stick Nymph Spawns

Sometimes, when Stick Bug summons Stick Nymphs in a field with a wall beside it (the Strawberry, Bamboo, Spider, Clover, Mountain top, Blue Flower, and Pineapple fields) some of the Stick Nymphs get stuck inside the wall making them unable to move.

Stick Nymph Rain

If the player stands on the instant converter by the Mountain Top Field, they can trick all the Stick Nymphs into falling through the gap between the field and the platform, making them fall straight through to the inside of the Pro Shop (the Stick Nymphs no-clip right through the ceiling), and will stay by the containers in the Pro Shop, constantly trying to get back to the Mountain Top Field. They will remain there after Stick Bug switches fields, and can kill anyone who is in the Pro Shop. To fix this, simply kill the Stick Nymphs or just wait until Stick Bug despawns.

Cave Monster Death

When Cave Monsters die, their body will remain in the location of defeat. The walking sound will repeatedly play as if they were still walking. Rejoining could be a method to stop the walking sound.

Cub Buddy Stuck in Bag

When a cub buddy goes inside a bag in the Pro Shop or Mountain Top Shop, it can’t get out. When in the bag, they can't be interacted with.

An example of a Cub Buddy being stuck in a bag.

Enormous Mob HP Bars

This glitch causes a mob to have enormous health bar. This is because that HP is the HP that the mob loads with, and after the mob loads, the game changes the HP. However, if the player's internet is slow or lagging, the game doesn't change the HP and so the mob appears to gain a large amount of HP (usually 1,300,400,000). Its HP should return to normal after a short period of time.

Enormous Mob Time Bars

The same as the Enormous Mob HP bars glitch, but this happens with the time bar instead.

Snowbear Leaving the Spider Field

Sometimes, if the snowbear gets Mind Hacked, it will wander out of the field, sometimes getting stuck. However, it can even potentially wander out of the 5 Bee Zone.

No Numbers on Rogue Vicious Bee's Health Bar*

This glitch causes the numbers on the Rogue Vicious Bee's health bar to go invisible. This is purely visual, and the moment Rogue Vicious Bee takes damage, the health bar will return to normal.

An example of a mob's enormous glitched HP bar.

Confused Coconut Crab

If the player stands on the wall of the Coconut Field, the Coconut Crab will think the player is standing on the field and try to attack the player with its claw attack but cannot hit the player. It should be noted that the falling coconut attack still can hit the player, even though this can be dodged by jumping.

Slow Coconut Crab Claws

This glitch causes the Coconut Crab's claws to jab slowly but the crab is moving at normal speed, making it much harder to avoid the attack. If the Coconut Crab starts to jab with its claws again, this may result in it attacking with all of its claws. This usually happens when the player or server is lagging, and can be avoided by either changing your internet, rejoining, or joining a different server.

Commando Egg Transportation

If a Commando Chick transforms into an egg in the corner north-west of the arena's entrance, it can briskly move to the corner south-west of the entrance.

Commando Wall Jump

If a player is standing near the entrance to Commando Chick's Hideout, when commando goes into its shell, it will sometimes jump onto the ledge. Commando Chick can still be harmed and will return to the hideout when it comes out of its shell.

Phantom Rogue Vicious Bee Attacks

If a player touches the base of the Rogue Vicious Bee's dormant spike while in the King Beetle's Lair, the Rogue Vicious Bee can start "attacking" a player in the Clover Field. A message will be sent to the server stating "⚠ [Gifted] Vicious Bee is attacking [Player] in the Clover Field ⚠" as normal, however, the players that would arrive at the Clover Field wouldn’t see anyone. The players would normally assume the "victim" of the Rogue Vicious Bee died, while those already viewing the Clover Field from up close will see a Vicious Bee get activated out of nowhere.

Slow Mobs Glitch

This glitch causes field defenders to move at a slower speed. This includes the speed at which the mobs fall from a spawning location. The cause of this glitch is unknown though it happens at the same time as the Slow Bees Glitch, meaning it may be caused by bad internet connection or extreme lag.

Frozen Stump Snail

An example of a glitched Stump Snail.

If a player with a cub buddy goes into the blue HQ and keeps on activating and deactivating the cub buddy it can get glitched inside of the elite blue guard and can then teleport away with the guard. If the player goes to the Stump Snail and positions the glitched Cub Buddy in one of the corners, when the snail reaches that corner, it will no longer be able to move.

Moving Commando Chick in Egg

It is unknown how this glitch occurs, but it causes the Commando Chick to move around while still inside its egg. Here's a video as reference for this glitch.

Speedy Commando Chick Glitch*

This glitch occurs randomly when Commando Chick spawns. Commando Chick's feet become stuck in the ground and it will move around extremely quickly only stopping when hiding in its egg. This bug can occur in conjunction with the Moving Commando in Egg glitch.

Dancing Stump Snail Glitch

A Stump Snail dancing in the field.

This glitch occurs sometimes when fighting the Stump Snail. It causes the Stump Snail to start moving from side to side. Part of its body can go off the field itself. This happens occasionally when the Stump Snail changes its direction when it is moving.

Grenade Rain

This glitch can be performed by constantly exiting and entering the Commando Chick's hideout repeatedly, causing the Commando Chick to spawn and despawn while summoning two grenades at a time. The grenades can kill players inside the hideout. This glitch can be annoying for people that are in the hideout that just want to defeat their Commando Chicks. Very rarely, if the player does this enough, it will knock the fleeing Commando Chick into the ground. It will stay there as the new Commando Chick does its normal behavior. After around 5 seconds, it will despawn.

Inanimate Coconut Crab

Similar to the Mobs Unable to Move glitch, the Coconut Crab can sometimes go inanimate and would therefore be unable to move.

Fireflies Stuck Inside Walls

Sometimes a firefly will get stuck inside a wall and the player will not be able to nudge the firefly. The rest of the fireflies will remain in air. Fireflies can get stuck in multiple different places such as the Honey Bee Gate.

Glitched Fireflies.

Fast Coconuts

Sometimes, a coconut from the Coconut Crab will drop too early. This will cause many problems for the players because it drops too fast, and the player can't see it. Lag is the main cause of this occurring.

A glitched Coconut Crab.

Moving Claws

Sometimes the claws of a Coconut Crab will move with the Coconut Crab; it can make things harder for players as the glitch happens from time to time if a player's connection isn't working properly.

Fallen Mondo Chick

Occasionally, Mondo Chick may fall off of the Mountain Top Field into the Bamboo Field or the Pineapple Patch. Loot dropped from Mondo Chick's defeat will spawn inside the field it was defeated in, and if it fails to reach a field before this happens it spawns no loot at all. This glitch is a result of Mondo entering its egg just close enough to the edge of the Mountain Top that the moment it leaves, if it moves in the correct direction, it falls out of the field.

Cub Buddy Loop Glitch

When there's an ability token made by a bee in the air, the player's Cub Buddy might go for it and keep teleporting next to the player. This can also happen when standing on a ledge. The cub may walk off and constantly teleport to the same spot, then fall again.

Another glitched coconut crab.

Invisible and Non-Attacking Coconut Crab

This is a partly visual glitch occurs while you are in the middle of fighting the Coconut Crab. The only way that the Coconut Crab can damage you during this glitch is when you touch its hitbox or touch any of its visible claws. A purely visual glitch occurs when you either leave the Coconut Field, or defeat the Coconut Crab, where the remaining Coconut Crab arms float mid-air. The floating Coconut Crab arm is purely a visual glitch, and may only stop once the server is empty, and closes. It is currently unknown how either of these glitches occur.

Frozen Cub Buddy

The frozen cub buddy glitch

This glitch causes parts of the player's cub buddy to freeze wherever it goes. The cause of this glitch is unknown, although it is most likely cause by a bad connection.

Submerged Cogmowers

A Cogmower mostly submerged in the Pineapple Patch.

Rarely, when the player go to another field during the Robo Bear Challenge, some Cogmowers when rising up to follow the player will not fully rise up into the field rendering them mostly submerged, or fully submerged in the field on where the player is in. It is unknown what causes this glitch.

Infinite Lawn Mowers

The Ant Challenge timer freezes and ants will stop spawning, it starts to spam lawn mowers which will not deal any damage to you. This rarely occurs if you play the Ant Challenge when Onett is trying to reset servers for a new update/bug fixes.

Crashing Mondo

This sometimes happens when you let Mondo Chick despawn, When It does its leaving jump animation, It can sometimes crash into the Instant Converter or the Mountain Top Shop, spins back, lays for a few seconds before despawning,

Frozen Mechsquitos

The Infinite Lawn Mowers Glitch

When the player dies during Robo Bear Challenge, all Mechsquitos stop targeting the player until a bee attacks one again. This may not be a glitch, as it could also be to not instantly kill the player on arrival, but Cogmowers remain active (although they do not target the player) and Cogturrets also keep going, thus possibly making this a glitch.

Gifted Vicious Bee's Health Bar

When a gifted Rogue Vicious Bee spawns, it's not always at maximum health. It is usually missing around 5% of its maximum health. This could possibly be due to the Vicious Bee Spike Glitch and it somehow damages itself.

Ants Stuck in Wall

Rarely during an Ant Challenge, an Ant or a Fire Ant can get stuck on the wall where the lawn mowers come from. They will stay stuck in the wall until the challenge ends or they are defeated.

Glitched Fastest Time

Since the 12/26/2022 update, the fastest time a player can defeat the Mondo Chick or the Coconut Crab is glitched and won't update if the player defeats them with a faster time than their previous record.

Flopping Cub Buddies

A message acknowledging the Flopping Cub Buddies.

Sometimes, a Cub Buddy will get glitched and fall over nonstop. It can't summon any tokens or collect any tokens while this effect is active.

Other Players' Mobs Attacking You

If a mob has no target (either because the target died or left the attack zone), the mob becomes capable of hitting anyone within its hitbox. This is noticeable when collecting pollen in the Coconut Field when your Coconut Crab has already been defeated. This glitch can be replicated when a player is fighting a Coconut Crab and you are inside the player’s Coconut Crab’s hitbox. If the player dies or leaves, the Coconut Crab can damage you while traveling back to its spawn location. This can occur with any mob that has a set spawn location. Occasionally, this can also occur with Tunnel Bear. The cause of this glitch is unknown.

Player Glitches

Quest Skipping

This can happen to a player for unknown reasons, all of the Quest Givers will act like the player have done more quests than they have actually done, giving them quests from way farther ahead without giving them the rewards for the quests that the game thinks they have completed. This means that the player could miss out on Spirit Bear quests and not be able to get all of the spirit petals or miss out on Science Bear quests and not get all of the translators.

Receiving/Completing Removed Quests

Occasionally, if a player has completed the requirements for a quest that has been removed from the game, they can still get the rewards or possibly receive the next quest, this appears to be most common with Black Bear's Old Repeatable Quests.

Talking to Spirit Bear with less than 35 bees

If the player has laggy internet or high ping, they can talk to Spirit Bear by gliding from the top of the Windy Bee Gate with less than 35 bees.

Glider/Parachute on while running glitch

If the player lands on the ground with a glider/parachute on, still have it on until they jump, equip it, and unequip it before they touch the ground. This glitch happened on 9/17/2020 but was patched the very same day. However, on 9/19/2020 it started to glitch again.

Shop Trap

This glitch can occur in any shop. When players reset with the shop open, they are unable to close the interface, as there is no button to do so. Players are able to exit the shop by resetting their character and spamming the E key, but this won't work all the time so players may have to reset a few times or rejoin. This mostly happens in Gummy Bear's Lair.

Bear Morph Body Split Glitch

An example of the Bear Morph Body Split Glitch.

One glitch can rarely occur when players die or enter a game with Bear Morph active. It causes the player to appear with no head and sometimes a few limbs. Players will not be able to equip items and they'll often move erratically. To fix it, wait until the bear morph buff expires, then leave and rejoin the game. Resetting also works, but players will still lose their pollen unless they use a micro-converter beforehand.

Wall Stuck Glitch

An example of the Wall Stuck Glitch with Bear Morph on.

If Bear Morph is active and players get too close to an outside wall, they can get stuck in the wall. They will remain stuck until the bear transformation ends, and the player will be able to move again. If players try to do this on purpose, they will likely achieve the desired glitch. If players don't get out of the wall, they should leave and rejoin the game rather than resetting, so they don't lose the pollen in their backpack unless they use an Instant Converter or a micro-converter. Rarely, players can get stuck in a wall even without Bear Morph. Using certain Rthro packages, like the Gothic Gargoyle, can lead to body parts becoming distorted.

Frozen Glitch

This glitch makes the player frozen in place until the player resets their character or rejoins the game, however the player will still be able to move their tool to collect pollen if standing in a field. To cause this glitch is unknown but using a weak internet, high ping, being on low battery mode on mobile and using a complex mechanic, (Memory match, Pollen Pot, purchasing high cost items, and Beesmas mechanics) will usually cause this glitch.

Invisible Splinter Trap

If a player respawns right as Stick Bug uses his Splinter Trap, they would still get the debuff. However, players will not see the pollen requirement to remove it, and will continuously deal damage until death unless they fulfill the unknown pollen requirement.

Ant Challenge Haste+ Glitch

If players start the Ant Challenge with Haste+ and run towards the ant hill, they will "leave" the Ant Field and will be taken out of the field given the amulet with the score they had at the time of leaving.

Empty Ant Challenge Glitch

This glitch causes the Ant Challenge to be empty. It is unknown what causes this glitch, but it is theorized that this glitch happens when a player leaves the game while doing the Ant Challenge.

The Empty Ant Challenge Glitch

Walking on Lava Glitch

A player on top of lava.

There are multiple Obstacle Courses that have instant-death floors. However, using a max scale Roblox character and one of the 2019 Rthro Football packages, it is possible to walk on top of these floors. However, certain emotes can cause the character to collide with the floor, such as /e dance3. This also works with the Levitation Animation Pack. Sometimes hitting the lava floor at a high enough speed (Such as jumping and landing) can cause the player to collide with it and die.

Stuck in Objects Glitch

If players have enough speed and run into a solid object, such as a strawberry, they can get stuck inside of the object. Players can get out by resetting, rejoining, or they can run glitch back out by mass jumping and running.

A player stuck in a strawberry in the Strawberry Field.

Sideways Ability

The Sideways Ability in action.

This glitch is a minor glitch and doesn't affect gameplay. Abilities such as the Porcelain Dipper ability, supercharged Golden Rake, and petal shuriken are based on the player's orientation. Because of this, activating an ability can be summoned sideways instead of upright. Possible ways to achieve this include being flung by Wild Windy Bee, or when the player is in a vertical facing position, or when the player is spamming wasd in a certain order when it is activated (people do this to also benefit from the boots collecting passive).

Glider Clip Glitch

Sometimes, if a wall is thin enough, a player will be able to glide against it and clip through it.

Shop Trap 2

If the player activates the red field booster and quickly open the shop, the button for activating the red field booster will be on the screen instead of the "Close Shop" button. This will result in the player getting stuck inside the shop with no way to close it. The same glitch will occur if the player has a high speed boost and runs towards the blender at the correct angle then quickly opens the sprinkler shop.

Death Teleport

Sometimes when the player dies, their head or other body parts will teleport to the King Beetle’s Lair, no matter their location of death. This does not activate King Beetle. When the player is dead and teleports to King Beetle’s Lair after dying, they can’t leave the lair until they respawn.

This is often caused by the player collecting the Bear Morph token from Bear Bee in any way (usually from their Cub Buddy) after the player dies or resets. If the token collected is a Black Bear, Brown Bear, or Polar Bear Morph, it will teleport the player into the King Beetle's Lair. In the case of a Science Bear Morph, it will teleport the player next to Science Bear.

Stuck in Ant Field Glitch

If the player has slow internet connection and starts the ant challenge, there is a chance that the game will detect the player as being "disconnected" from the game when the internet connection acts up. This causes the player to get stuck in the Ant Field, due to the game thinking the player had disconnected from the server. This can be fixed when someone else starts the Ant Challenge, kicking the player out of the field. This glitch is beneficial to some quests requiring pollen from the field.

Invisible Pollen Collector

There is a glitch where the player can lose their pollen collector, it is encountered when the player dies or it can happen if they click backspace. The player can fix this by rejoining or by equipping another collector and equipping their original one. If the player loses their pollen collector by pressing backspace, they can press backspace again within the next 5 seconds to get it back. This glitch can also happen when the inventory slot of the collector appears and is clicked.

It can also happen if a player has slow internet and the inventory shows up on the "Loading" screen and the player unequips the pollen collector. When the player spawns, they will have no pollen collector. To fix this they have to rejoin the game or reset their character. It can also be fixed by equiping a different pollen collector and equiping back to your original pollen collector.

Invisible Twigs

When Stick Bug moves to a different field and the player is not in flowers, the game will say they've been trapped in twigs, but the pollen to remove it and the twigs itself will not appear. This can be fixed by leaving the game. This can also be caused if the player has twigs on them when they die. You can also stop this glitch be leaving and rejoining.

Floor Gliding

A player stuck in the floor.

This can happen when landing on the ground with high ping, the player will get stuck in the floor and start moving around at high speeds without being able to control where they're are going. They can get out of the floor by moving off the edge of whatever surface they got stuck in or resetting. The player can partially control which direction they move in by equipping their glider. Note: If the player plays on computer, they can use shift lock and move with their glider equipped.

Tide Popper freeze glitch

On 1/01/2022, going to the Tide Popper in the Blue HQ shop would cause a game freeze not letting you leave the shop anymore. Onett and the Bee Swarm Simulator crew left a warning sign for all users to not visualize the item.

Player becoming noob skin glitch

If you do the Shop Trap glitch in the pro bear shop, you have a chance (using the porcelain dipper, Mondo belt, Beekeeper Boots, Propeller hat, Port-O-Hive, Elite Bucko Guard) to become a noob skin.

Onett alerting the players about the Tide Popper freeze glitch.

Extra Long Respawn Time Glitch

This glitch happens when you activate Emergency Coconut Shield and die, the player will not respawn until the Emergency Coconut Shield ends + original respawn time, resetting the character does not work.

The "Lawn Mowers Are Good For You" Glitch

This glitch occurs in the Ant Challenge. If the player is wearing Coconut Canister and triggers the Emergency Coconut Shield passive, during this period, all lawn mowers will heal the player instead of damaging them. Ironically, this is the only way for the player to heal themselves without dying outside of the small autoheal that is always in effect.

Extremely Fast Speed

When you are fighting snowbear, your haste stack ends when you get hit by a snowball. When the ice-cube debuff ends, you should have very fast speed. Note that when your frozen, you can not get hit by anything. The glitch ends if you reset, take damage, or leave the game.

Invisible player

An invisible player

Sometimes, the player may turn invisible. The glitch can be fixed by resetting. The cause of this glitch is unknown.

Audio glitch

If players go in different areas the audio will overlap for everyone.

Bee Glitches

Confused Bee

This glitch causes a bee to spin around the flower it wants to collect, instead of collecting it. To fix it, clear out the flower the bee is stuck in, and the bee will go somewhere else; or just leave the field and the bee will follow the owner.

Extreme Bee Energy

This glitch can occur after using Royal Jelly on a Photon Bee or an Exhausted Bee and leads to a bee having a ridiculous amount of energy. This can be fixed by leaving and rejoining the server. This glitch can also occur when a bee has full energy when the player dies. The energy is raised to incredible amounts.

An example of extreme bee energy.

Sleepy Bees

If the player resets the character very fast 2 or more times, once the bees wake up it will show that every bee the player owns has gone to sleep, even the bees with unlimited energy (Exhausted Bee, Photon Bee) if the player has them. The glitch replenishes all of the bees' energy.

Long Trail/Effect Glitch

A Tadpole Bee's. trail stretching

Temporary bees stuck near wealth clock.

This bug takes place when the player has a bad internet connection, causing their bees to teleport around the screen. Any bees with 2D trails (Tadpole Bee, Crimson Bee, Cobalt Bee, Photon Bee, Precise Bee, Ninja Bee, Windy bee) will cause the said trail to stretch to any length the bee has traveled through the lag.

This bug can also happen if the player uses a Whirligig while inside of the Gummy Bear's Lair.

Stuck Bees Glitch

In Beesmas 2020 and 2021, if a player used Onett's Lid Art, Honeyday Candles, Gummy Beacon, or Honey Wreath (after the player finished Honey Bee's Beesmas quest) the player's temporary bees may get stuck anywhere around the map after they're supposed to despawn. This glitch will always happen if the owner of the bees leaves. Even if the same player joins the same server again, the bees remain devoid of movement.

Vicious Bee Spike Glitch

If a new Mob spawns while a Vicious Bee uses its impale (while in range of the impale), each spike will deal the same amount of damage as it would if only a single spike targets a Mob (5% of health + attack damage), dealing massive amounts of damage. The easiest setup for it is with a Rogue Vicious Bee and Mondo Chick in the Mountain Top Field.

Unlimited Energy Bees Sleeping

Photon Bee running out of energy.

Sometimes bees with unlimited energy (Photon or Exhausted Bee) can run out of energy. This is mainly because their energy cannot be coded as infinity, so their energy is set to extremely high numbers to make it seemingly infinite. They can run out of energy with enough time given.

Frozen Bee Glitch

Sometimes bees will freeze in their position and not move. The cause of this glitch is unknown, but it happens fairly commonly while fighting mobs, especially Stump Snail.

Confused Fighting Glitch

This glitch can occur when the Spider is still on cool-down. While it is recovering, the player can walk against the Spider Cave (where the Spider spawns), and the bees will think a hostile mob is around them. They will spawn tokens that will only be spawned when encountering an enemy (e.g: A Vicious Bee spawning an Impale token). This is for unknown reasons, though it may be because the Cave Monster spawn is above or too close to the Spider Cave, so the bees will spawn tokens that will only be spawned when attacking an enemy.

Bees Sleeping Sideways Glitch

Sometimes, the player's bees will sleep sideways, instead of upside down. The cause of this is extremely high lag and bad internet connection. The player's bees will also move extremely slowly.

Slow Bees Glitch

During the glitch, all bees will move at a significantly slower speed. The cause of this glitch is unknown however it happens at the same time as the Slow Mobs Glitch, meaning it may be caused by lag, high ping, or bad internet.

Bees sleeping sideways.

Stuck Vector Bee Glitch

During the Robo Bear Challenge, if a player collected the duplicate token of a triangulate ability token from a Vector Bee which is currently in the hive and not one of the bees that were chosen by the player during the Robo Bear Challenge, it will get stuck in the air for a while and not move even after the round ends.

Demon Mask shop displaying Royal Jelly shop

Visual/Audio Glitches

Wrong Shop Display

When you enter a shop, it will display the the image of the shop that you enter previously before coming to this shop for a split second. Thereafter, it will display the correct image of the current shop that you are in. The causes of the glitch is unknown but may be due to lag or high ping.

Negative Sprout Numbers Glitch

An example of the sprout glitch.

When the player pops a sprout too quickly or if a player has high ping, the numbers that show the amount of pollen needed will show the excess pollen that was collected with a negative sign in front of it. If a sprout is popped normally it will show small negative numbers for a split second before disappearing. The numbers will go below the field, as well as turning red, and if the number of pollen collected is high enough it will turn purple.

Phantom Token

A phantom pineapple token.

A phantom strawberry token.

This glitch can happen when a player joins the game right when a Honeystorm or Snowstorm ends, after a sprout has been popped, or can happen very rarely by other means because the token appeared almost exactly when the player joined. Images of tokens are visible, but not the token itself. Players cannot collect phantom tokens. The phantom tokens remain until the player leaves.

Incorrect Dialogue Box

Occasionally when the player interacts with the wind shrine the previous text box that they encountered will be displayed, but it still says it's from the Wind Shrine. This glitch can also be done with other NPCs if the player is in the dialogue box to start the Stick Bug Challenge and another player starts the challenge. The player can then talk to another NPC, which will show the normal dialogue for starting the challenge, but with the name of the NPC the player is talking to.

Onett/Stick Bug/Mondo Chick Falling

The incorrect dialogue box glitch.

Occasionally the statue of Onett on top of a hive, Stick Bug, or the Mondo Chick will fall off their designated location. Onett usually falls to the ground around the sixth hive. Stick Bug usually lands around the Mushroom Field, or sometimes the Dandelion Field. With the Mondo Chick, it usually lands on the Bamboo Field or in front of the Pro Shop. This glitch will not affect gameplay, except in the case of Mondo Chick, as players will have to move to a different location to continue fighting it.

The geared bear morph glitch.

Geared Bear Morph

This glitch happens when players equip any item while the bear morph buff is active. It simply makes gear appear when the player is a bear. The glitch gets fixed when the bear morph buff ends.

No Fog

This glitch happens when a Honeystorm, Snowstorm (from Beesmas 2020, 2021, and 2022), or Mythic Meteor Shower is active and a switch between day and night occurs: the fog disappears. This does not end these events, the fog is just invisible. Similar to the fog disappearing, if a Honeystorm is summoned during a Mythic Meteor Shower (or vice versa), the fog will override to the newer spawn. Afterward, the fog will disappear.

The no fog glitch (Honeystorm).

Ant Challenge Boost Glitch

This glitch sometimes occurs after an Ant Challenge ends. The icon for the Ant Challenge buff will still be visible. The reason of this glitch is because the instant conversion is designed to last until the end of one whole run. Nothing will happen because it only grants 100% Ant Field Instant Conversion.

A phantom honey token.

Red Hive Slot Glitch

Red Hive Slots.

This glitch makes a hive slot look red. To activate it, click and hold a random consumable from the inventory that doesn't give bond (gumdrops, magic beans, etc.) and use it as if it were to be fed to a bee. To fix it, players can either rejoin the game or click another random item (tickets and Spirit Petals won't work). This also works on empty hive slots but instead of turning the empty hive slot red, it will turn white. Using consumables that can be used outside of fields, like Red and Blue Extracts, can cause multiple bees to have red Hive Slots.

A white-colored empty hive slot (as seen on the top middle).

Extra-Bright Hive Slots

This glitch makes all the player's bees with a beequip brighter. To active it, the player should click and hold Swirled Wax and drag it to their hotbar. To fix it, rejoin the game or click on a treat.

Invisible Mask Icon

If players equip the Diamond Mask, its icon on the boost bar will be invisible. However, players can still hover their cursor over it and view its stats.

Phantom Glider

If players press the jump button right before the frame they hit the ground, they will jump back up, and the glider will be seen above the player. The player will not automatically glide but can input the glide command to trigger it as usual.

Invisible Glider

Sometimes if players die while gliding, they will see only 1 glider rope. When players use the gliding tool again, the rope will disappear.

Negative Pollen Quest Glitch

This glitch makes the amount of pollen that the player has collected in a quest be in negative numbers. This glitch happens randomly when redeeming a quest, or when the player pops a bubble and exits the field quickly.

No Cub Buddy Glitch

This glitch causes the Cub Buddy to not be in sight, even if the Cub Buddy is equipped.

Phantom Flame

This glitch is similar to a Phantom Token, but it happens to a Flame instead. A high-rise (or just maxed out) flame will appear indefinitely on a field, but the flame won't do anything. The cause of this glitch is currently unknown.

Bee Stats Glitch

This glitch causes the stats of a bee to be messed up, such as different attack, speed, energy, bond, level, and picture. Mostly, a frosty bee appears as placeholder.

Flower Texture Glitch

Occasionally, the texture on flowers will disappear and appear completely green. However, this is completely visual and the flower can still be collected. This glitch is often caused by lag, although this can also happen if the player just joined Bee Swarm Simulator on a slow/low-end device. where the assets are still loading.

Amulet Glitches

A player's amulets stuck above the bamboo field.

Sometimes, for unknown reasons some of the player's amulets will disappear. However, the amulet's buffs are still active. This can be fixed by rejoining the game. There is also a glitch where if the player is in the Spider Field, players might see Amulets clumped together or a Cub Buddy without an owner. This is caused by someone leaving the server in the Spider Field a while ago. The glitch can’t be fixed.

Frozen Treats Glitch

A Sunflower Seed stuck on the screen with the Frozen Treats Glitch.

This glitch is known to freeze the image for a consumable item to get stuck on screen. This will more occur more often on mobile rather than a computer. To get this glitch to occur, the player should give all of one desired item to a bee all at once, then extremely quickly select and drag the same item that they just got rid of onto a place on the screen before the item in their inventory is no longer shown. If done correctly, the item will now appear to be stuck on the screen. To fix this glitch, leave then rejoin the server.

Green Hotbar Glitch

This glitch causes the player's hotbar to become green. To do this glitch, all players need to do is move an item from their items tab that can go to their hotbar and then close their item tab still holding the item. Then, let go of the item, and the hotbar should stay green. It will stay green until the player drags something to their hotbar, and let go of it without closing the items tab.

The green hotbar glitch

Mask Decal Glitch

For some reason, whenever a player looks at their character through some surfaces, they can still see the front part of the mask they are wearing.

A player experiencing the Empty Make Honey glitch.

Empty Make Honey Glitch

Sometimes, if players have an empty bag and there aren't any balloons surrounding their hive, it says "Make Honey" instead of "Collect Pollen To Make Honey.", although clicking E doesn't do anything. The cause of this is unknown, but players can fix the glitch by leaving or collecting pollen, returning to the hive and converting it to honey.

Empty Instant Converter Glitch

Like the Empty Make Honey Glitch, the Empty Instant Converter Glitch is almost the same. Normally, if the player doesn't have pollen in their bag and they attempt to use the Instant-Converter, it will say, "You need pollen to use the Instant Converter." But in some cases it will say "Use the Instant Converter" although the player does not have any pollen in their bag.

Out-of-Bounds Night Music Glitch

When out of bounds when it's nighttime in-game, when daytime arrives, the night music will still be playing. This will be fixed upon doing anything that would put the player back in bounds, such as resetting, or touching certain areas, which will teleport the player back to the Starter Zone. Leaving and rejoining the game also fixes this. This also works with the Special Sprout Summoner. When the player goes onto the summoner, and it becomes nighttime and daytime again, the night music still plays until they leave the area. Like the Special Sprout Summoner, this can also sometimes happen when you are on top of the Basic Bee located on top of the Basic Bee Gate.

Incorrect Music Glitch

This glitch can occur if the Stick Bug Challenge is started and it ends at night. Instead of playing the normal night time music, it will instead play the music that plays in the respective area the player is in.

It also occurred from 3/18/2023 to 3/??/2023, on Version 477; Where people would hear the wrong music (e.g: Hearing Vendor instead of Drone, Overflowin instead of Bpatrol, etc..), even if they had Music turned off in the System Page.

Forever Green Glitch

To do this glitch, put a treat of any kind in the item toolbar, and all of the player's hive slots will turn green. Players can also make this happen by dragging any kind of treat from the item toolbar, and then close the item toolbar. To fix this glitch, drag a treat to anywhere except the toolbar.

Forever green glitch.

Quest Counter Glitch

A glitched Quest task counter in Spanish (Translation: Collect 30.000.000 pollen from the Sunflower Field)

This glitch makes the quest counter numbers say that the player have completed the quest task without completing it, that is, for example: "Defeat 10 Ladybugs", and the player has defeated six ladybugs in total, but the counter of Ladybugs defeated says the player defeated 10. The player can see that the task is not completed due to the green bar behind the text.

Phantom Sprout

A Phantom Sprout.

This happens when the player lags. Once a sprout pops, there will be no more numbers on the sprout but the beam will still be there. This generally fixes itself after a few seconds.

Translation Glitch

A glitched Wealth Clock cooldown timer.

A glitched pollen number on a Black Bear quest.

This glitch occurs when the player is playing Bee Swarm Simulator in a language other than English. The cooldown timer on objects that the player can interact with will show the same numbers for every second / minute / hour that passes, preventing the player from knowing the remaining cooldown time. The pollen numbers on quests also will glitch, and the name of some mobs will translate to their literal translation.

In this quest the player needs to defeat 8 Mantises, but the word "Mantises" instead of being translated to it's correct translation, was translated to "8"

Phantom Field Boost effect

Note that the bar is filling, but the numbers are the same.

When any field boost ends, the snow particle effect from that field will continue for some time.

Big Beequip Glitch

This glitch makes every beequip appear unusually large. The player can manually do this glitch by having a beequip equipped to a bee, open up the Beequip Case, go away from the hive from an enough distance, after going far enough, close the beequip case and go back to the hive then open up the beequip case, the icon of the beequips will be larger than normal.

Wingless Bees/Invisible Transparent Parts

If the player looks at any transparent parts (mostly bee wings) with a Glass material part standing between the transparent part and the camera, then the transparent part goes invisible.

Phantom Clouds

This glitch makes clouds on a field disappear making only the water droplets appear. There is no reason discovered for this glitch yet, although you can still obtain the +25% pollen buff from clouds.

Server Audio Glitch/Overlapping Audio Glitch

In a public server, if you had this glitch, you could hear everyone's audios/sound effects. (e.g. Someone was in King Beetle's Lair and Crawlers is playing, meaning that if you had this glitch, you would hear Crawlers without even being in King Beetle's Lair or another place where Crawlers plays.)

Invisible Party Robots

Invisible Cogturrets.

If the player joins while a Robo Party is in progress, all of the Party Robots will appear invisible. The player will still be able to attack them and get their loot.

Quest Givers Stuck in Ground

Various quest givers will appear slightly stuck in the ground. It is most noticable with Onett and Stick Bug.

An example of wingless bees.

Quest Dialogue Glitch

When the player immediately talks to an NPC just after claiming the rewards from their quest. They will speak the same dialogue that was during the quest completion.

Item Glitches

Invisible Purple Potion/Super Smoothie Glitch

Prior to the items being officially added to the game, it was possible to obtain Purple Potions and Super Smoothies from Tunnel Bear and King Beetle. The items could not be seen in the inventory, but could be donated to the Wind Shrine, where they had the texture of a basic egg and no donation value.

Broken Auto on Items

Sometimes, if players are using auto on items like gumdrops or coconuts lag may temporarily stop using the item for a few seconds. To fix this, ether use the item manually, or wait a few seconds for it to work again.

False Cooldown

When a cooldown occurs for an item in the hotbar, the time between each second is a bit more than what the game considers to be the cooldown of said item. This results in an item available to be used before the cooldown seen on the hotbar is completed. Usually, this is unnoticeable, but with long-cooldown items such as Glitter and Festive Beans, the cooldown difference is visible.

Sprinkler Glitch

When the player jumps and use a sprinkler multiple times then they can stack sprinklers on top of each other or put them close together, which can be useful. Be aware that if the player has too much jump boost (sources of jump boost include bear morph, boots, etc) then it will show a message saying "You must be standing in a field to use this." This glitch is very powerful when the player has Golden Gushers or Diamond Drenchers sprinklers because they have a larger quantity of sprinklers.

Invisible Golden Balloon

Sometimes, when you collected a Gifted Buoyant Bee's Surprise Party, it will summon Golden Balloons normally, but the balloons are invisible and only its area of effect can be seen, the area is also not moving. It is unknown how this glitch happens.

Other Glitches

Big / Small Text Glitch

An example of the big text glitch.

An example of the small text glitch (in the third bar, click for a better view).

This glitch is minor and does not affect gameplay. This mainly happens with quests, mostly Brown Bear's. The cause for this glitch is unknown, but could possibly be because of automated text format, or by the fact that the text cannot fit, forcing into a more fitting size.

Double Memory Match Glitch

A player doing double memory match.

This glitch occurs when a player is playing memory match and moves to a different memory match and interacts with it. The cost of honey to play this second memory match is taken from the player and the cooldown begins but they do not get to play that game of memory match, causing the player to waste honey.

Broken Red Cannon Glitch

If the player is playing with laggy internet, the red cannon may transport the player to the mushroom field or makes them crash in to the nearest sunflower to the 5th and 6th hives. If the player's glider is activated when using any cannon, it will fail to fire and teleport the player under the cannon instead.

Honey/Field Grandmaster Badge Glitch

If the requirement for a badge is equal to or more than 10,000,000,000 of n, and you finish the requirement, the badge will only show "n / n" rather than "n / n Complete! Press to collect.".

Double Passive SSA for 490 Billion Honey

If the player has between 490 billion and 500 billion honey, they will still receive the prompt to generate a double passive Supreme Star Amulet for 500 billion honey upon using the Supreme Star Amulet Generator. If they select yes, they will receive a double passive SSA for 490 billion honey.
