Honeyland, the popular strategy game known in web3 for its beekeeping challenges, has unveiled a major update designed to enrich player experiences. The team rolled out Build 2.032 (62) on July 8, 2024, introducing several new features aimed at enhancing gameplay and rewards.
More About Honeyland?
Honeyland is a free-to-play mobile and desktop game where players manage a colony of bees exploring various universes in search of a new home. The game combines elements of strategy, resource management, and community interaction, allowing players to experience both cooperative and competitive gameplay.
Players start with a Gen Z Queen and a set of Gen Z Bees. Through various activities, they can grow their colonies, enhance their bees, and interact with other players. The game is built on the Solana blockchain.
The primary currency in Honeyland is Honey (HXD), used for breeding and other in-game activities. Players can acquire HXD tokens through gameplay or purchase them. The introduction of custom .hxd subdomains adds a personalized touch to players' in-game identities.
Introducing Honey Bags Points
The update's standout addition is Honey Bags Points (HXD), a new system that rewards players for actively engaging with in-game activities. Unlike traditional staking mechanisms, Honey Bags Points let players earn daily, weekly, and monthly prizes simply by holding and using HXD within the game.
This approach rewards players based on their ongoing participation and investment in Honeyland. To start earning Honey Bags Points, players need either Certified Beekeeper status or an active Season Pass. The system encourages sustained involvement and offers rewards that scale with the quality of raffle tickets obtained.

New Season Passes
The addition of Season Passes introduces a tiered reward structure that expands gameplay variety and engagement. Available in four tiers (Certified Pass, Starter Pass, Royal Pass, and Hive Pass), these passes offer varying benefits such as enhanced withdrawal limits, exclusive cosmetics, and accelerated Queen Egg shard acquisition.
Season Pass holders also benefit from accelerated gameplay mechanics, including reduced hatch times for Gen Z Bees and increased marketplace slots. Here's the breakdown:
- Certified Pass: Free for all Certified Beekeepers.
- Starter Pass: 200 HXD.
- Royal Pass: 800 HXD.
- Hive Pass: Obtained by purchasing both the Starter Pass and Royal Pass within the same month.

Getting Started with the New Features
To take advantage of these new features, players should update their game to the latest version and explore the Season Pass options through their Hive menu. Certified Beekeepers get additional benefits, making certification a worthwhile goal for dedicated players.
Reset Account Feature
For players seeking a fresh start or exploring different strategies, Honeyland now offers a reset account feature. This lets players retain certain purchased items and certifications while resetting in-game progress, providing flexibility to tailor gameplay experiences to suit evolving preferences.
Cosmetic Previews and Raffle Opportunities
Honeyland now includes a cosmetic preview feature, letting players visualize cosmetic changes before applying them. The introduction of Honey Bags has also expanded raffle opportunities, offering daily automated raffles with various ticket tiers (Gold, Silver, Bronze, and the premium Rainbow tickets) for increased chances to win prizes.
