Nice teach! Thanks my man.
Q: does the one bee level up with the empty hive rule?

[@rollingdoubles7031]

When you pull back a bee due to an empty hive it doesn't level up, but it's a pretty rare situation as it would likely mean that all your bees are hibernating and you literally have none left to play. Always a good idea to have at least a couple active bees at all times so you don't lose turns due to an empty hive!

@@rollingdoubles7031 cool! Here’s another one for you that’s a wee confusing: why would you put a bee in the landing area vs active area? I get that a bumped bee can go to either but wouldn’t you always want your bees to level and go to active to have another turn vs blowing a turn on retrieve? I understand retrieve is so you can pull off the board and landing area to get resources but if your doing a retrieve to get the resources why have any in landing?

@@StevieInMTL Yeah, in all honesty we almost never put bees in the landing area. It really all comes down to if you're counting on getting income relatively soon (within the next couple turns) and you were going to retrieve your bees anyway this way you can kind of have the best of both worlds and get your bees back AND get your farm income. Typically though you're going to be better off leveling up your bees and putting them in the active area.
