The Petal Bee is a Legendary Pet that was added to Grow a Garden during the Bizzy Bee Event Update. Among the many bees available in the game, this one stands out because of its rare hatch rate, unique appearance, and most importantly, its ability to multiply your profits through pollination and flower retention.
Appearance
The Petal Bee may look similar to the common Bee, but it has several unique visual traits that make it instantly recognizable:
- Color Scheme: Its body is white with bright pink stripes instead of the standard yellow-and-black design.
- Antennae: Its antennae are tipped with pink instead of black.
- Flight Trail: While flying, it leaves behind a trail of pink flower petals, making it one of the most visually appealing bees in the game.
This appearance isn’t just cosmetic — the glowing petal trail often signals to other players that you own a rare Legendary pet.
Owning the Petal Bee can transform your garden into a highly profitable and resource-efficient space. While it may take patience and multiple attempts to hatch one, the rewards are worth it for any dedicated player. If you’re looking to expand your collection and maximize your gameplay, don’t forget that you can also buy Grow A Garden pets to complement your strategy and create the ultimate garden setup.
Traits and Behavior
The Petal Bee has two main passive abilities that make it valuable:
- Pollination
- Every 24 minutes and 46 seconds (roughly 25 minutes), the Petal Bee will fly to a nearby fruit in your garden.
- The chosen fruit will receive the Pollinated mutation, causing it to glow with a yellow aura.
- Pollinated fruits are special because they sell for 3× their normal value, providing a significant profit boost when harvested.
- Flower Retention
- On top of pollination, the Petal Bee has about a 1.17% to 1.29% chance to prevent certain flower-type fruits from being removed after harvest.
- This means that instead of disappearing, the fruit plant will remain in your garden, allowing you to harvest it multiple times without replanting.
- This effect works on flower-type fruits such as:
- Pink Lily
- Purple Dahlia
- Sunflower
- Hive Fruit
- Nectarine
Since flower-type fruits are already some of the most profitable plants in the game, this retention effect can save you a lot of seeds and time, making the Petal Bee a long-term farming investment.

How to Get the Petal Bee
Getting the Petal Bee is not easy, but it’s possible if you’re patient and prepared. Here’s the detailed process:
Step 1: Buy a Bee Egg
- Talk to the Queen Bee NPC in your garden.
- Select the dialogue option “I want to trade honey.”
- This will open the Honey Shop, where Bee Eggs are sold.
- A Bee Egg costs either:
- 18 Honey (in-game currency)
- 129 Robux (premium currency)
Important Tip: The shop’s inventory changes every hour. Bee Eggs might not always be available, so check back regularly to avoid missing your chance.
Step 2: Hatch the Bee Egg
- Once you’ve purchased a Bee Egg, plant it in your garden just like a normal seed.
- The incubation period lasts 4 hours and 10 minutes in real-time.
- After that, the egg hatches into one of the bee pets available in the game.
Step 3: Rely on RNG (Hatch Chance)
- The Petal Bee has only a 4% chance of hatching from a Bee Egg.
- In practice, this means you’ll probably need to hatch multiple Bee Eggs before successfully getting one.
- Compared to other rare bees, the Petal Bee is more attainable than the Queen Bee, which has only a 1% hatch chance.
Player Strategy: Many players save up a large stockpile of honey before spending it all at once on Bee Eggs. This maximizes your chances during each shop refresh.
Why the Petal Bee is Worth It
Although it takes time and luck to obtain, the Petal Bee provides long-term value that makes it worth the grind:
- Profit Boosting
- With every pollination, your fruits sell for triple their normal price. If you grow expensive fruits, this bonus quickly adds up.
- Seed & Resource Saving
- Flower Retention means you’ll spend fewer resources replanting flower-type fruits, keeping your garden more productive for longer.
- Prestige
- Having a Petal Bee is a status symbol in the community, especially during the Bizzy Bee Event. Its unique glow and petal trail make your garden stand out.
Tips for Players
- Stack Multiple Bees: Owning more than one Petal Bee increases your chances of pollination and flower retention across your garden.
- Pair with Expensive Fruits: The 3× sale value effect is most profitable when used on rare fruits (e.g., Hive Fruit or Nectarine).
- Be Patient: Don’t expect to hatch the Petal Bee on your first try. Many players report needing 10+ Bee Eggs before getting one.
- Use Robux Strategically: If you don’t want to grind for Honey, Robux can speed things up — but it’s not guaranteed.
In summary, the Petal Bee is a powerful Legendary pet that combines profit boosting with resource-saving mechanics. It’s not the easiest pet to obtain, but once you add it to your garden, it becomes one of the most valuable companions you can have in Grow a Garden.
