About Bee Swarm
Bee Swarm is a weather event that raises the chance of fruit getting the Pollinated mutation.
Bee Swarm — In-Depth Analysis
During a Bee Swarm, Pollinated fruit, a x3 mutation, turns up more often. The wiki's trivia gives a timing detail: during a Bee Swarm it takes approximately 46 seconds for a bee to pollinate a fruit, and that varies with the distance to the targeted fruit.
That 46 seconds is the useful number, because a swarm is not an instant roll: how many fruits get pollinated depends on how long the weather runs, and the wiki says most weathers last about 3 to 5 minutes. A related entry, Working Bee Swarm, also raises Pollinated chance and adds x10 craft speed. Pets such as the Queen Bee can apply Pollinated outside the weather.
