Overview[1]
A Honeystorm is a server-wide event that can be summoned by using the pad near Brown Bear by anyone who has discovered at least four Legendary Bee types. When summoned, a server-wide announcement will state: Upon being summoned, a golden-yellow fog will appear along with a multitude of honey tokens and some ticket tokens that will begin to randomly appear across all fields (except the Hub Field). The storm lasts for 20 seconds and has a cooldown of 4 hours. It can also be randomly triggered, in which the announcement says: When a honeystorm is summoned, the honey tokens make raindrop-like popping noises when they appear.
Patch history
The honeystorm fog is normally tinted yellow, but during Beesmas in 2018 and 2019, the fog is white. As of Beesmas 2020, this is no longer the case, since Snowstorms use the white fog instead. This and the Special Sprout Summoner are the only machines that require the player to discover Legendary bee types to be activated, with this requiring 4 and the Special Sprout Summoner requiring 8. A honeystorm's yellow tint could generate enough light to make the cave monsters in the Werewolf's cave visible. There is a glitch where if a switch between day and night occurs while a honeystorm is active, the fog will disappear. This is purely visual and the honeystorm will still function as normal. This glitch is shared with Mythic Meteor Showers and Snowstorms. There was a short-lived issue around 2018-05-26 that caused the Honeystorm Summoner to be removed. If a player encountered a server without a Honeystorm Summoner, they could simply leave the game and come back. This was, of course, fixed later. After the 2018-09-10 update, the Honeystorm Summoner was moved and the Wealth Clock now sits in its former spot. Now it is located between the Clover Field and Blue HQ. Upon receiving the quest "Witness Grandeur", Spirit Bear summons a honeystorm. According to Bee Bear, Bubble Bee Man summons the honeystorms. If you summon honeystorms at night, the fog will stay even after the storm until daytime. Honeystorms can stack with other honeystorms. This does not affect the intensity of the honeystorms, but instead increases the duration.
