Murmur of Bees
🐝 **Make beehive farming more fun! ** This mod revolutionizes the beehive system in Stardew Valley, allowing you to actually care for a variety of different types of bees.
✨ Core Features
**Hive System**: Bee hives are no longer isolated individuals! All beehives on the farm belong to the same hive, and only one queen bee is needed to start the hive operation of the entire farm.
**Bee Evolution**: By giving gifts, you can transform regular bees into specific varieties:
- 🍯 **Honeybee**: faster production, producing honey every 3 days
- ⭐ **Bumblebee**: Produces higher quality Silver Star, Venus Honey, and even Iridium Honey after gold animal crackers
- 🐝 **Wasp**: Although it produces honey slowly (once every 7 days), it provides a permanent +2 farming gain
- 🌸 **Mason Bee** (requires perfume workshop module): produces mixed flower seeds and dried flowers
🎁 Interaction mechanism
Bees indicate their readiness to receive gifts through visual and acoustic cues at specific times. Different gifts will lead bees to evolve into different species:
- 🍎 Fruit → Bee Bee
- 🍯 Syrup → Bumblebee
- 🐛 Insect Meat → Wasp
- 💐 Flower → Mason Bee
🌍 Regional differences
**Farm Area**: Needs queen bee to start, can cultivate various special varieties
**Wild Area**: Automatically occupied by wild bees, can be upgraded but cannot be changed to species
**Ginger Island Area**: Has unique purple honey that is cold-resistant and works year-round
❄️ Seasonal changes
Winter is the dormant period for bees (except on Ginger Island), and the hive resets in spring. You can use this opportunity to try new varieties or quickly rebuild the hive using saved queens.
🔧 Configuration options
The module provides rich customization settings, including:
- Bee extra product switch
- Adjustment of gift output probability
- Sound effects control
- Wasp gain range setting
🔄 Compatibility
Fully compatible with mainstream bee-related modules such as Bees Plus, Cornucopia, and Better Beehouses, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
