Bloom Petals are one of the newest mechanics added to Bee Swarm Simulator, and they play an important role during Beesmas, especially for quest progression and temporary buffs. While they may look simple at first, many players struggle to farm them efficiently. This guide explains how Bloom Petals work, how to spawn them, and the best way to collect them without wasting valuable resources.
What Are Bloom Petals in Bee Swarm Simulator?
Bloom Petals come from Bloom events that appear in fields across the map. When you break a Bloom, it releases petals that fly into the air. Catching these petals gives you short buffs that can stack and are often required for Beesmas quests.
Bloom events share some similarities with Puffshrooms, but they are more movement-focused since you must chase and catch the falling petals before they disappear.
How to Spawn Blooms
1. Natural Bloom Spawns
Blooms can appear naturally in fields at random times. There is no fixed spawn timer, but they are fairly common. If you move between different fields and check regularly, you should find them without too much waiting.
2. Using Bloom Shakers
Bloom Shakers can also force a Bloom to appear. However, this item is considered rare and much more valuable for boosting sessions. Because of this, it is usually not recommended to use Bloom Shakers just for quests unless you are really stuck.
Bloom Colors and Field Restrictions
Bloom colors depend entirely on the field you are in. A field can only spawn blooms that match its flower colors. For example:
- A field with blue and white flowers can only spawn blue and white blooms
- Red blooms will never appear in non-red fields
This makes field selection very important when farming specific petal colors for quests.
How Bloom Petals Work
Once a Bloom is destroyed, petals are launched into the air. You must catch them before they despawn. Key mechanics to understand:
- Blooms must be broken within a limited time or they disappear
- Higher-level Blooms spawn more petals
- Blooms can spread into additional Blooms
- Blooms despawn after 20 seconds if not destroyed
- Petals remain in a field for up to 60 seconds total
- Each petal gives 1 stack of its buff
- Each unique petal buff can stack up to 100 times
- All petal buffs last 10 seconds
Because other players can also grab your petals, solo farming is usually more efficient unless you are early game.
Tips to Catch Bloom Petals Faster
Catching petals is the hardest part, especially since they spawn far apart and vanish quickly. Movement speed is the most important factor.
Here are the best ways to improve your success rate:
Increase Your Movement Speed
- Use a Gifted Hasty Bee for an extra 15% move speed
- Equip bees or bee equips that provide Haste
- Use Oil to temporarily boost movement speed
Improve Your Ant Amulet
Having movement speed on your Ant Amulet helps a lot, especially for early game players who lack other speed sources.
Glide to Catch Multiple Petals
You can catch petals while gliding. With proper timing and positioning, it is possible to grab most or even all petals from a Bloom in a single glide, making farming much easier.
Bloom Petal Color Locations
If you are hunting for specific petal colors, these are the fields where they appear:
- Violet Petals: Clover Field (best), Stump Field (possible)
- Black Petals: Cactus Field (best), Spider Field (possible)
- Gray Petals: Spider Field, Coconut Field, Dandelion Field, Stump Field
- Cyan Petals: Blue Flower Field, Coconut Field, Pineapple Patch, Stump Field
- Red Petals: Mushroom Field, Strawberry Field, Rose Field
- Scarlet Petals: Pepper Patch (best), Rose Field
- White Petals: Dandelion Field, Spider Field, Coconut Field
- Pink Petals: Strawberry Field (best), Mountain Top, Sunflower, Coconut
- Yellow Petals: Sunflower Field
- Marrygold Petals: Stump Field (most common), Sunflower Field
Choosing the right field saves a lot of time, especially for Beesmas quests that require specific petals.
Bloom Petals are a key part of Beesmas content, and understanding how they work can save you hours of frustration. Focus on natural Bloom spawns, save Bloom Shakers for boosts, and invest in movement speed to collect petals efficiently. With the right strategy, Bloom Petal quests become much easier and far more rewarding in the long run in Bee Swarm Simulator.
