Colorful balloons float above a vibrant wildflower field under a bright blue sky with small bees.

Balloons are items that hold pollen for players and bring it back to the hive to convert into honeylater. There are 6 types of balloons: pink, red, white, black, blue and gold. Pink, red, white, and black balloons are summoned with items. Blue and gold balloons are summoned by Buoyant Bee's abilities. The balloons return to the hive after reaching full capacity or after reaching their time limit. Capacity and time limit depends on the balloon type. In Fields Balloons float around the field, similar to Clouds, and cast a 5-tile radius shadow on flowers underneath them. Pollen collected from these flowers is absorbed by the balloons above them. If multiple balloons have control over the same flower, the pollen is absorbed by the balloon with the lowest pollen amount in it. Balloons cannot absorb pollen from other players. The pollen in balloons can also be increased by Buoyant Bee's Inflate Balloons ability, though this can only happen 10 times maximum per balloon. Standing underneath any player's balloon grants a stack of the Balloon Aura buff. Each balloon the player is in radius of gives 1 stack of the buff, capping at x10 Balloon Aura. Each stack gives x1.02 pollen and +2% honey from tokens, capping at x1.2 pollen and +20% honey from tokens.
