Bees Complete Guide – Farming Simulator 25

Bees are a valuable addition to your farming operation in Farming Simulator 25. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about obtaining bee hives, maximizing crop yields, harvesting honey, and selling your products for profit.

How to Get Bees

To purchase bee hives in Farming Simulator 25, open the build menu by pressing Shift + P. Navigate to the third option on the left side (marked with a cow symbol). Scroll to the end of this menu to find the bees section.

In the bees section, you’ll find multiple bee hive options available for purchase. There are smaller, more affordable hive models, as well as larger, more expensive versions that house significantly more bees. You can purchase as many bee hives as you want and place them across your map.

Automatic Bee Population

Unlike other animals in the game, you do not need to individually purchase bees to stock your hives. Bees will automatically populate the hives once they are placed on your farm.

Bee Hive Honey Pallet Location

One of the most important features of the bee system is the Beehive Honey Pallet Location. This is a crucial structure with a unique limitation: you can only place one per farm map, regardless of how many bee hives you own.

You can strategically place your individual bee hives all over your map near your fields to maximize crop yield bonuses. No matter how far away these hives are from your honey pallet location, all the honey produced will automatically be collected at that single pallet location.

Crops That Benefit from Bees

Placing bee hives near specific fields will increase the yield of the following crops:

Potatoes

Canola

Sunflowers

Harvesting and Selling Honey

Equipment You’ll Need

To pick up and transport honey pallets, you’ll need to purchase the following equipment from the shop:

A Tractor – Choose one that suits your farm size. Smaller operations can use compact models.

A Front Loader – This attaches to your tractor. Consider the brake horsepower and weight capacity when selecting one. The “Quicky Pallet Front Loader” is a solid option.

A Pallet Fork – This is the front loader tool that actually grips and lifts the honey pallets.

Attaching the Front Loader

When purchasing a new tractor, ensure it has a front loader attacher already equipped. If you’re using an existing tractor without this attachment, don’t worry—you can add it at any mechanic station found at stores across the map.

To add a front loader attachment to an existing tractor:

Drive your tractor to a mechanic station (available at all stores)

Exit the tractor and look for the mechanic icon

Press R or double-click on it to open vehicle adjustments

Add the front loader attachment from the menu

Attaching Equipment to Your Tractor

Once your tractor has the front loader attachment:

Attach the front loader as you would any other machine

Press Q to attach the pallet fork to the front loader

Operating the Front Loader Controls

The front loader operates with intuitive mouse controls:

Right Mouse Button – Swipe left or right to extend or retract the loader

Left Mouse Button – Click and pull downward to lift the pallet; pull upward to lower it (inverted controls)

Press G – Toggle between different control modes for fine adjustments

Note: If you find the inverted controls (up/down) uncomfortable, you can adjust these settings in the game’s control settings menu.

Picking Up and Selling Honey

Once you’ve mastered the front loader controls:

Navigate to your Beehive Honey Pallet Location

Position your front loader under the honey pallet

Use the controls to lift the pallet onto your front loader

Transport the pallet to a selling location

Sell the honey as you would any other crop

Summary

Bees in Farming Simulator 25 are a straightforward yet rewarding addition to your farm. Purchase bee hives, place them near your potato, canola, and sunflower fields for yield bonuses, and collect the honey at your single farm honey pallet location. With a tractor equipped with a front loader and pallet fork, you can efficiently transport and sell your honey for additional profit. Master these mechanics and you’ll have another profitable income stream for your virtual farming operation.
