Getting Started
APPROVED AND USED BY 20+ ALL-TIME PLAYERS
After the Retro Meta Changes Blue Hive meta changed slightly.
This meta change has caused the bombs to no longer be the main source of pollen for blue. Bubbles are now the main source that fills up balloons. The ratio of Honey-made/Balloon-size has increased significantly, if you think your balloons are not as large as usual, don’t worry as the honey at hive multipliers have increased and the amount in field / rate of pop star has increased
Keep in mind that this is a BASE HIVE, everyone can change to their liking and game progression.

IF YOU HAVE FOCUS ABILITY ON YOUR PINK SHADES YOU CAN RUN 3 MUSIC BEES INSTEAD
IF YOU HAVE NO DIGITAL DRIVES YOU SHOULD NOT RUN DIGITAL BEE
THIS IS AN ENDGAME HIVE THAT YOU OPTIMIZE FOR YOURSELF
Do this slowly while testing what works best for you.
Buoyant:Tad Ratio
Begin with 16:11, if you are lvl 20/21 you will see that you will fill way too easily you could drop a tad for a buoyant.
If you macro with alts you can always drop a few tads for buoyants however dont drop too many as you still need them to initiate pop star
BAR on Tadpoles
Critical Chance>=BAR>Convert>Rest on Buoyants
BAR on Bear/Windy

Beequips
Be sure to check out our guide on Waxing the Beequips.
The best way to use Waxes to enhance your Beequips
Beequips are extremely powerful with their great hive bonuses and bee buffs. Blue hives could run many different beequip mixes , these are some example good blue beequips:

- Kazoo
- Sweatband

Some people run Coal but it’s quite hard to find a good one and not many have it. Running a Sweatband depends on how good the stats are and how developed your digital bee is. Peppermint Antennas can be run depending on how good the stats are. The Toy Horn is to be run if constant Melody isn’t achieved.

Supreme Star Amulet should be Pop Shower,Pop Guiding,or a good Solo Pop
Pop Shower > Pop Guiding > Solo Pop ; Assuming all are 5/5 and similar stat ranges
Pop Shower
Blue relies on Pop Star to fill balloons and the capacity buff from Star Shower will be needed if you are over-filling with your current solo Pop Star. Also, the chance to catch a star from Star Shower makes it easy to get inspire stacks which are overpowered
Pop Guiding
Guiding Star also grants a permanent 1.25x capacity multiplier as well as a 2.5x pollen and capacity bonus for summoning a star
Solo Pop
You can settle with a 5/5 solo pop and be fine. You don’t need a 5/5 double passive for blue unless you overfill.
Nectar
Nectar Priority
- Motivating (BP, CR, BAR)
- Comforting (BP, CRH, CCR)
- Satisfying (HH, RCR, WP)
- Refreshing (BCR, RP, BAR)
- Invigorating (RP, CR, BA)
Depending on how good your planters are, you can set priority to 70%-80%.
Boosting
RBC BOOST GUIDE COMING SOON
Most people will do RBC boosts over actual boosts for balloon blessing then macro honey

As I said you can optimise this hive to what you see on your graphs. Also it is very easy to find macro servers for blue online.
