Planters are one of the strongest tools in Bee Swarm Simulator when it comes to farming materials, nectar, and rare items. Many players place planters randomly and miss out on guaranteed drops that only appear in specific fields.
If you want better wax, extracts, dice, and berries without wasting time, knowing the best field for each planter is a must. This guide breaks down every planter and explains exactly where to place them for the best results. Also check out our Bee Swarm Simulator Mythic Bees Guide for more rewards!
