Overview[1]
The Dark Scythe is a tool that can be crafted in the Red HQ. The player needs to have completed at least 250 Gifted Riley Bee quests to unlock it. It collects 13 pollen from 35 patches in 0.5 seconds. It has an average base pollen collection rate of 910 pollen per second. If a flame gets hit by the Dark Scythe's collection, it will turn it into a Dark Flame and flame fuel (if active) is reapplied, as well as its lifespan being reset.

Strategy
The Dark Scythe's blue counterpart is the Tide Popper, and its white counterpart is the Gummyballer.
The Dark Scythe's scooping trail can pop bubbles.
If the player's backpack is full and scooped their Dark Scythe while in a field, it will prompt the full backpack message three times.
This is the only red collector that doesn't multiply the amount of red pollen collected. This is the same case as Tide Popper.
This is tied with the Tide Popper for being the fifth most expensive item in the game, both having a cost of Honey.
