Let's upgrade a male Bee!

To upgrade Bees you will need to combine upgrade shards into an upgrade item. 

To get started, visit your Inventory by clicking on the backpack icon in the top right area of the game

This will display your complete inventory. Tap on any item to learn more about it. Long-press any item to get further details.
