NOTE: Additionally, you can use the "Filter" option to narrow down your list of Bees. **Earth squads can hold up to 18 Bees.**\ **Cocarro (Siege) squads hold up to 12 Bees and one Queen.** ### **Harvesting and Hunting (Earth) squads** **Some suggestions:** 1. Harvesting squad - organize your strongest harvesters in one squad 2. Hunting squad - gather up your highest Luck stat Bees 3. Zone squad - divide your Bees by the zone they can reach 4. Landform speciality squad - put all of your Desert Bees in one squad 5. Off Mood squad - Bees that don't match your Queen's mood 6. ??? - Whatever you want! You can create squads using [HiveMind](https://hivemind.honey.land/squads) or by visiting the My Bees section inside the game. ### **Siege (Cocarro) squads** **Be sure to add a Queen and Bees to each Cocarro squad you create.** From My Bees → tap Manage Squads → tap the yellow Create button → Name your squad → Choose mission type If you choose Siege, you will be able to add Landform and Zone information. When you go to an Explore Mission, you will be able to see which Queens are in squads. You can still send them to Explore if you choose. You can also see which Bees are in squads. This doesn’t prevent you from sending them on Explore Missions. It helps you keep track of which Bees you are saving for Sieges! **NOTE:** Bees that are in Siege squads will NOT show up if you use Auto Select to pick Bees for your Explore missions. ### **Using HiveMind to create squads** From the home screen: * Click Swarm in the top menu. * Choose Squads. * Add new Squads using the button on the top right. * Then filter your Bees to fill in the Squads you have created. ### **Creating Squads in the Game** From the universe view: * Tap "My Bees." * Tap "Manage Squads" in the bottom right. * Tap Create in the middle panel to name your Squad(s). * Tap on the Squad you wish to fill. * You will see the available Bees on the right side (you can use the filter button on the top right to narrow down the choices). * Tap the "Add" button. You will see the Bee move to the left side. * Be sure to tap "Save" once you have all the Bees you want in place. ### **Deploying Squads on Missions** Visit any Land: * Tap "Go" to bring up the screen that allows you to send your Bees on missions. * Just above the list of Bees on the right side you will see "All Bees." * Tap the right or left arrows (or just tap All Bees) to see your Squads. * Tap the Squad you want to use. * Choose which Bees you want to send and get them on their way! --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
