Bees-A-Buzzin: How to Get the Pollinated Mutation in Grow a Garden – Roblox Guide

The Pollinated mutation is an exclusive addition introduced in the 1.08.0 Bee Update of Grow a Garden in Roblox. This special trait appears only on certain fruits and helps players progress through the Bee Swarm event, as well as unlock all the exclusive items in the Honey Shop.

To unlock all the potential in your garden, knowing how to reliably get pollinated fruits is essential. And we’re here with a complete guide for you to follow and get started on your pollen farm right away!

1. Pollinated Mutation in Grow a Garden Roblox

In Roblox Grow a Garden, bees travel across all garden plots during a swarm, randomly choosing fruits to pollinate. When a fruit is pollinated, it keeps any previous mutations it had and triggers the on-screen message:

“A fruit in your garden mutated to Pollinated.”

Pollinated crops are easy to spot as they turn a honey-yellow color with a golden glow. If you’re unsure, you can inspect the crop’s tag up close to confirm.

Fruits with the Pollinated trait are marked by a special glow and can be exchanged for Honey during the Bee Swarm event. Even outside of the event, Pollinated fruits are precious as they fetch a higher price.

Pollinated variants sell for three times more than regular crops. While this boost isn’t the highest in the game, it still outperforms other mutations like Wet, Chilled, Chocolate, and Moonlit.

Oh, and I don’t mean to brag, but…

(whispers) You can impress other players if you manage to grow a Divine Pollinated variant!

Moreover, if you own exclusive Bizzy Bees pets, pollinated fruits can become a permanent mutation, helping you earn even more Sheckles over time.

i. How Does the Pollinated Mutation Occur in Roblox Grow a Garden?

The Pollinated mutation is exclusive to the Bee Swarm event in Grow a Garden Roblox, a recurring in-game feature similar to the Lunar event.

The Bee Swarm event takes place every hour and lasts for 10 minutes. During the event, bees emerge from their hives and fly across your garden, randomly pollinating growing crops.

Any fruit that gains the Pollinated mutation during this time becomes three times more valuable, offering a great opportunity to quickly earn Sheckles.

ii. How to Get Pollinated Fruits in Roblox Grow a Garden?

Like other special mutation requirements, you have to be online to obtain Pollinated variants, as they won’t appear while you’re offline. There are two main methods to get the pollinated mutation on your fruits in Grow a Garden:

1. Bee Swarm Event

• The primary way to get pollinated fruits is through the Bee Swarm event, which occurs every hour and now lasts about 20 minutes.
• During this time, bees fly through gardens and pollinate random crops. You can AFK Farm during the event, but your game must remain open.
• Bees will visit multiple times during the window, increasing your chances of getting pollinated fruits each cycle.
• Once the 20-minute event ends, the countdown resets for another hour.

2. Bee Swarm Pets

• You can also use pets that have the Pollinated mutation ability. These pets passively trigger the mutation over time, making them suitable for hands-off farming.
• Here are the pets with this ability and their cooldowns:
  • Bee – 24:45 minutes
  • Honey Bee – 19:43 minutes
  • Petal Bee – 24:49 minutes
  • Queen Bee – 24:37 minutes
• You can assign multiple pets to your farmland—even duplicates—to stack the effect and boost Pollinated crop production.

iii. How to Increase Your Chances of Getting Pollinated Fruits in Grow a Garden Roblox?

To make the most of each Swarm, focus on planting fast-growing,  multi-harvest crops that keep producing fruit without needing to be replanted.

These crops allow you to quickly harvest or convert them into high-value Pollinated fruits, especially Divine or Legendary variants, which maximizes your event rewards. 

To make your setup even more efficient:

• Focus on heavy-weight crops, which often have a higher mutation rate. Use a Harvest Tool to collect fruits quickly.
• Clear your garden of ripe fruit right before the Bee Swarm event begins. You can check the countdown next to the Queen Bee NPC in the center of the map.
• Fruits that grow during the Swarm have a much higher chance of receiving the Pollinated mutation.
• Already ripe fruits won’t mutate, so harvesting beforehand gives you a fresh batch of mutation-ready crops.

Recommended Multi-Harvest Crops:

• Star Fruit – Found in Night Seed Packs
• Moon Blossom – Also from Night Seed Packs
• Moon Melon – Purchase from the Blood Shop
• Beanstalk – Available in the Seed Shop

Watch for seasonal events and limited-time seed packs, as these often include rare plants that pair exceptionally well with unique pollination mutations.

iv. What to Do With Pollinated Fruits in Grow a Garden Roblox?

While it may be tempting to sell your Pollinated fruits right away for a quick profit, there’s another, more strategic and rewarding approach.

Instead of cashing them in immediately, take your Pollinated fruits to the Honey Combpressor, where you can convert them into Honey, a special currency used during the Bee Swarm event.

• Once you’ve collected enough Honey, head over to the Queen Bee NPC. There, you can trade your Honey for exclusive event rewards such as Honey Eggs, Honey-themed Cosmetics, and Bee Crates.
• Spend your Honey wisely at the Queen Bee’s shop to unlock the best possible rewards while still keeping the option to sell extra fruits for profit later on.

By choosing the right crops and planning your harvests around the Swarm, you’ll greatly improve your chances of growing rare, high-value Pollinated fruits in Grow a Garden.
