You can organize your Bees into squads based on whatever criteria you wish!
NOTE: Additionally, you can use the "Filter" option to narrow down your list of Bees.
Earth squads can hold up to 18 Bees.
Cocarro (Siege) squads hold up to 12 Bees and one Queen.
Harvesting and Hunting (Earth) squads
Some suggestions:
- Harvesting squad - organize your strongest harvesters in one squad
- Hunting squad - gather up your highest Luck stat Bees
- Zone squad - divide your Bees by the zone they can reach
- Landform speciality squad - put all of your Desert Bees in one squad
- Off Mood squad - Bees that don't match your Queen's mood
- ??? - Whatever you want!
You can create squads using HiveMind or by visiting the My Bees section inside the game.
