Gifting Priority
Which event bees should you gift first? This tier list ranks them by impact on your progression.
What is Gifting?
Gifting a bee transforms it into a "Gifted" version with enhanced stats and a special hive bonus. Star Treats guarantee gifting, while favorite treats have a small chance. Prioritize the bees below for maximum value from your Star Treats.

Key Points
🏆 Why Tabby Bee First?
Tabby Bee provides the largest core stat boost of any event bee. The Tabby Love buff is multiplicative and increases with tabby stacks.
⚔️ Why Vicious Bee?
Gifted Vicious Bee significantly reduces mob respawn time, dramatically speeding up material farming which benefits all other progression.
💎 Star Egg Strategy
Save Star Eggs until you have all Common/Rare/Epic/Legendary gifted bees. This guarantees a gifted Mythic bee from each Star Egg.
📊 SSA Progress
You need 40 unique gifted bee types for SSA. 6 event bees + all Legendary and below = 35/40. The remaining 5 come from Mythics.
