Complete Guide to Faction Switching in Bee Swarm Simulator
Our Faction Switch Calculator helps you plan your transition from a mixed hive to an optimized color-focused build. Whether you're going Red Hive, Blue Hive, or White Hive, this tool tracks your progress, shows which bees you still need, and calculates your readiness percentage.
Understanding the Three Hive Factions
Endgame Bee Swarm Simulator players specialize their hives into one of three color factions. Each faction has unique strengths, preferred playstyles, and requires specific bees and equipment to reach maximum efficiency. Choosing the right faction depends on your playstyle preferences and available time for grinding.
Red Hive - Scorching Star Build
Red Hives focus on attack power and instant conversion through Scorching Star. This active playstyle rewards players who farm with full attention. Key bees include Precise Bee (11x), Spicy Bee (8x), and Riley Bee (6x). Red hive players use the Demon Mask and Dark Scythe for maximum damage and conversion. Best fields: Pepper Patch, Rose Field, Mushroom Field.
Blue Hive - Pop Star Build
Blue Hives excel at passive honey generation through Pop Star's bubble mechanics. This build is perfect for AFK or macro farming sessions. Essential bees include Buoyant Bee (17x for bubbles), Tadpole Bee (11x), and Fuzzy Bee (8x). Blue hive players wear the Diamond Mask and wield the Tide Popper. Best fields: Pine Tree Forest, Stump Field, Blue Flower Field.
White Hive - Gummy Star Build
White Hives offer versatile gameplay with high critical damage through Gummy Star. This balanced build suits players who want flexibility. Core bees include Vector Bee (10x), Photon Bee, and Cobalt/Crimson Bees for mark collection. White hive players often use the Gummy Mask and Coconut Canister. Best fields: Coconut Field, Mountain Top Field, Pumpkin Patch.
When to Switch Factions
You should only consider switching factions when you have: at least 40+ gifted bees, a Supreme Star Amulet, the appropriate mask for your target faction, and enough resources to level 50 hive bees. Use our calculator to check your readiness score before committing to the switch.
How to Use the Faction Switch Calculator
Select your target faction to see the recommended bee composition. Check off bees you already own, adjust quantities, and mark which bees are gifted. The calculator automatically calculates your readiness percentage and shows exactly which bees you still need to acquire. Use this data to plan your grinding sessions and allocate resources efficiently on your path to endgame optimization.
