About Fruit Trees cycle through three distinct phases: A dormant stage, a blossoming stage, and a ripe stage. A Fruit Tree spends each Coldsnap and begins each Everbloom in the Dormant Stage. At a point determined by chance, during an Everbloom, a Fruit Tree will transition into the blossoming stage, denoted by flowers blossoming on the Fruit Tree. If a Fruit Tree is pollinated during this stage it will switch to the ripe stage. This is the stage where Fruit can be picked.

Butterfly & Moth Pollination A Butterfly Conservatory, when Any Butterflys or Any Moths are placed inside, will pollinate nearby Fruit Trees during an Everbloom. For each unique Butterfly added the Butterfly Conservatory will gain 5% efficiency, each unique Moth will add 10%. A Butterfly Conservatory has a longer range than a Bee Skep but cannot transfer Purity onto the Fruit Trees. How to Pollinate Fruit Place 1x Queen Bee and 6 to 10x Drone Bees in a Bee Skep. Every other day open your Bee Skep and remove any Delphic Bees additional or Queen Bees. Add more Drone Bees if you fall below 6. Bees will occasionally die, this is normal, add more Drone Bees if you fall below 6. Slowly your Bee Keep will fill with Worker Bees. Once your Worker Bees reach 60,000, or at any time before, you may remove all your Bees. Each Everbloom Fruit Trees within your Bee's Skep range will blossom and riped by chance. Each time a Fruit Tree ripens it gain up to 10% of the Purity difference between the Fruit Tree and your Bee Skep. This gain is reduced if you have less than 60k Worker Bees. CAUTION: Opening a a Bee Skep will cause you to get stung. The severity of the sting is proportionate to the number of Worker Bees in the Bee Skep; generally between 5-15 Blood damage. Fruit Purity Each Everbloom that a Fruit Tree ripes with a Bee Skep in range, will cause your Fruit Tree to gain 10% of the difference between the Fruit Tree's Purity and the Purity of Bee Skep that pollinates it, multiplied by the percent fill of your 60,000 Worker Bees. For instance, if your Fruit Tree is at 0% Purity and your Bee Skep at 90% filled with 30k Worker Bees your Fruit Tree will gain 4.5% (90% x 50% (60k/30k). The Purity of a Bee Skep is equal to the average Purity of the Hay used in it's Forestry Skills Skill Benefit Acute Tree Harvesting Pick more resources from Trees.
