Hi i want to ask about red hive layout

[rugged light]

I am currently finishing bucko quests so my hive is weird, its plan for future hive layout

12 Precise Bees
8 Spicy Bees
8 Vectors
4 Carpenter Bees
4 Tadpole bees
Digital + Festive + Bear + Tabby + Crimson + Photon
Rad Bee + Riley Bee + Commander Bee + Brave Bee + Shy Bee + Hasty Bee + Basic Bee
Buoyant Bee
i plan to leave vicious because of robo, i dont have nearly any drives. i started doing chalange thought holding until i finish bucko.
i plan to leave puppy, until i finish lvl to 18, thought i might grind then add it back not sure. i put 9 spicy 12 precise, i might go for 10 spicy 10 precise not sure. i want to ask which bees from guide i should are viable to skip temporally. i am going to go for 4 baby bees instead of tadpoles

i plan to make hive look +- like on right

thought i would need to kill 7 mythics gifted

riley is not gifted. got 4bar no strawberries

i planed to get bar hasty

I recommend you don't worry too much about bar mutations yet since you can't really afford to gift them yet and them being gifted is more important than the mutations

With your planned setup you're also most likely gonna have a lack of marks during boosts, the precise/spicy ratio of 12/9 is fine though

If your amulets give you enough attack, you could kill the rage bee

Just check if you get above 50 attack on precise bees when you have 0 flame heat and no stinger used, but with max invig nectar and sticker stack

Also don't worry about making your hive look cool and symmetrical yet, you could save your honey that way which you need quite a bit

Also during a boost you should kill vicious bee, then after the boost you can get back a non gifted one

I personally swap out my rad bee for vicious when I'm not boosting

Hi, ty for anwser. Do u know if damage of non gifted vicious bee makes big diffrence in things like robo/stickbug and other high dps area?

I might go for swaping rad with vicious if i decide to kill it, so no mutation for rad bee

True, i dont have enough startreats to go change bees positions. I am making my hive symetrical well looking for a long time, i killed few gifted bees (gift vector with bar long time ago)

"Rage Bee's bonus changed to +10% Bee Attack (from +1 Attack)." Woudnt killing brave bee be more benefitial?
Also i think i have max or almost max amount of atk possible on amulets (not sure with cog since i got just +10%)

So should i kill brave and baby love killer for carp?

I going to have 8vector +2 carp

Would u kill puppy and then farm honey for treats to upgrade hive to full 18 or keep it and upgrade one by one?

I have every red equipment expext coco belt. I also dont like killing rage because of bar 3% mutation

[marble ridge]

The first, that way you won't have a useless puppy bee occupying a slot

[rugged light]

20% treat boost isnt worth?

I use it for only that

[marble ridge]

Kill rage not brave, it's true that the rage bee's hive bonus is better but since you'll have enough attack anyway kill the rage bee, you wanna keep t he brave bee for beequips

[marble ridge]

Only when you level up your hive, so kill puppy bee and only get it back when you're gonna level up your whole hive at once, don't do it one by one

[marble ridge]

Gifted vicious doesn't do more damage than regular, so having it gifted gives very little advantage

There's no need for a mutation on rad bee
