Spring Showers

Spring Showers!

Spring is well and truly here and the weather forecast is calling for rain! Farmers are advised to take advantage of the change in weather by preparing their fields, which are sure to flourish from the downpour. In addition to your free water and more bountiful harvests, your Limited Edition Animals will also produce more during this time, so let’s get started with our preparations!

If you are level 9 or higher, you will see the following pop-up upon entering FarmVille 2. Clicking on “Earn Water” will close the menu and you will see a newspaper boy cycling past your Farm.

He is here to deliver you the Newspaper, which is filled with all kinds of valuable information about how you can prepare for the coming rain.

Click on the Newspaper to open it up and you will see what tasks you have to complete to get ready.

This menu also explains in a bit more detail what some of the benefits are of this feature. If you complete the Spring Showers tasks (see below section for more detail), not only will you earn 30 free water, but any Limited Edition Crops, Trees or Animals on your farm will have a higher output than normal.

Spring Showers Tasks:

To prepare, you will need to feed some of your Adult Goats (they get very frightened by storms, but a full belly will help keep them calm), collect Copper Rain Buckets and Plush Blue Towels.

To collect Rain Buckets, click on the blue “post” button to post a feed to your wall that your friends can click on to fulfill your request. To collect Plush Towels, click on the “ask friends” button, which will open up a menu that will allow you to send requests to individual friends for assistance.

And finally, you will need to feed your goats. If you do not have any goats, they can be purchased from the General Store for Coins or Farm Bucks.

If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.
Note: You can send a request for items to your Friends every 18 hours.


Once you have completed all three tasks, it’s going to start raining on your farm! Any seeded crops (up to 30) will be automatically watered for you, so make sure to plan accordingly.

Note: Trees will not be automatically watered.

If you activate your rain and you have no crops that need watering, the extra drops will be added to your HUD, so nothing is lost.

After the rain has subsided, make sure to refresh your game for a surprise! Springtime in FarmVille 2 means more than just watered crops; your Farm has come to life with beautiful flowers, butterflies, and Rainbows!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, including springtime. Mouse-over the Newspaper to view the countdown timer that indicates how long you have until spring is over. Be sure to take advantage of the rainy season by planting Limited Edition Crops and stocking up on LE Animals, as they will give you more resources than normal on a springtime farm.

Once your timer has been depleted, you will be able to complete a new set of tasks to bring the rain back to your Farm.

Additional Information:
The Spring Showers feature will be available for 6 weeks.If you do not wish to participate, simply ignore the newspaper on your farm and it will disappear when the event is over.

We hope you all enjoy watching the rain fall and getting even more resources from your Limited Edition Crops, Trees and Animals.

Bee Box

Bee Box

Hey, Farmers!
Introducing, the Bee Box! Tend to Crops to fill your Box, then harvest for Honey and a chance at finding special Honeycombs. Collect all of the Honeycombs to earn up to five exclusive Bee Hives and one Beekeeper Suit!

If you are level 10 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on “Place Bee Box” to get started.

Building the Bee Box

Your first step is collecting construction parts. You will need the following items to start building your Bee Box: 

• Honeycomb Rack
• Brown Paint
• Nails

To collect Honeycomb Racks, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall – you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Brown Paint and Nails to your Neighbors.
If you do not wish to wait for your friends to respond to your requests or newsfeed posts, you can purchase any of these items above for Farm Bucks

Note: You can post and send requests for materials to your Friends every 18 hours. 

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building!” button at the bottom of the construction Menu. 

Now that the Bee Box is almost complete, you will need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Bee Box requires four additional mechanics, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Build Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click the “Hire One” button to purchase crewmembers with Farm Bucks.

Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish & Share” button. 

Using the Bee Box
When you harvest your Crops, they will drop Pollen, which is a new type of resource that can only be used with this feature.
Note: Once you place and harvest your Bee Box for the first time, you will have 30 days to claim all five Beehives and one Beekeeper Suit. After 30 days, you can purchase up to five Beehives from the General Store and one Beekeeper Suit from the Avatar Customizer. Keep in mind thatyou can onlyhave up to five Beehives and one Beekeeper Suit total on any given farm.
Collected Pollen will be automatically added to your Pollen Tray with the help of Bees! Once your Tray is full, you can harvest the Bee Box for Honey.
To see your Tray, click on the Bee Box to open the main menu. Your Tray is located on the left-hand side of this screen. The number at the bottom of the Tray indicates how much Pollen you need to collect and your current progress towards this goal.

Additionally, you can also see your progress by hovering your mouse over the Box to display the green progress bar.

Once you have collected the necessary amount of Pollen, you will be able to harvest your Box by clicking on it. When you harvest your Box, you will always produce Honey. Honey can be used to fill Beehives for Fertilizing Bees, as well as for Crafting.

Note: Any Honey you produce will be automatically added to the “All” section of your Inventory.



Honeycombs & Rewards
To earn the Beehives, you will need to collect special types of Honeycombs. To find these Special Honeycombs, all you need to do is keep harvesting your Crops! In addition to the Honey you earn every time you harvest the Box, you also have a chance of earning Special Honeycombs (referred to as “Honeycombs” in game).
There are three types of Special Honeycombs you can receive:

1. Amber (requires 2)
2. Orange (requires 2)
3. Golden (requires 1)

These Honeycombs are not used for Crafting. Instead, they are automatically added to your Honeycomb Collection. To earn all five Beehives, you will need to have five sets of 2 Amber, 2 Orange, and 1 Golden in your Honeycomb Collection (25 Honeycombs total). Once you have collected these, you can trade them in for up to five Beehives!
To earn the Beekeeper Suit, you will need to collect the full set of five Beehives. You will receive the Suit after you redeem the fifth Beehive.
Special Honeycombs linger on your farm similar to Prized Crops. Just click on the Honeycomb and it will be added to your Collection.

The more Crops you have on your Farm, the better your chances are of receiving Honeycombs!

Helpful Tip: Crop Packets produce more Pollen. For example, Red Hibiscus and Honeysuckles will produce Pollen roughly twice as often as other crops. See the “Crop Packets” section below for more details.

In addition to Honeycombs, harvesting the Box will give you additional XP points to help you level!





If you do not want to wait to collect the Honeycombs, you can use Farm Bucks to skip these steps and get the Beehive right away! You can also purchase Pollen directly.

Honey & Beehives

You can earn up to five Beehives total for each Honeycomb Collection you complete. In order to use the Beehive, fill the Hive with Honey (collected from the Bee Box), then you will be able to Fertilizer four of your Crops with Fertilizing Bees. See below on how to get started.

Fill the Beehive, mouse over and click to feed with Honey:




After you feed the Beehive with Honey, mouse over and click to use:




Four Bees will fly out of the Beehive. Use the pointer finger to select the four Crops you wish to Fertilizer (similar to using Farmhands). You can place bees only on watered crops that have not yet been fertilized.




If you want to see how much time you have remaining until you can use the Beehive again, hover your cursor over the Hive:




Note: You can place each Beehive on top of your Crops (see image below).

Beekeeper Suit
Once you have earned all five Beehives, you can claim your Beekeeper Suit! Walter will drop off your fifth Beehive, then he will remind you to try on your Suit.

Click the green “Will do” button to try on your new Suit using the Avatar Customizer. Once you have selected your new Suit, click the green “Save and Share” button and share this news with Friends!
