The Honey Sprinkler is a new tool in Grow a Garden that came with the Bizzy Bees update. This sprinkler gives your crops the HoneyGlazed mutation, which makes them sell for 5 times more money than normal. You can only get it during the bee event, so here’s everything you need to know about finding and using it.
How to Get the Honey Sprinkler
You can only buy the Honey Sprinkler from the Honey Shop. To access this shop, talk to the Queen Bee NPC in the middle of the map during the bee event. The shop is open to everyone, and you don’t need to unlock anything special.
To buy the sprinkler, you need 30 honey. You get honey by taking Pollinated crops to the Honey Combpressor machine. Every 10 kilograms of Pollinated crops gives you 10 honey. So you need to process 30kg worth of Pollinated crops to afford one sprinkler. The shop changes its items every hour, so the Honey Sprinkler won’t always be there. You need to check back when the shop resets to see if it’s in stock.
How to Use the Honey Sprinkler
The Honey Sprinkler works for exactly 60 seconds after you place it down. The timer starts right away, so you need to be ready before you use it. Put the sprinkler near crops that already have fruit on them. Don’t waste time on empty plants or seeds that aren’t ready yet. The mutation affects fruits that are already there, not ones that grow later. The sprinkler affects all plants within range during those 60 seconds. This means you can get the mutation on many fruits at once if you place it in a good spot.
When crops get the HoneyGlazed mutation, they look like they’re covered in dripping honey. More importantly, they sell for 5 times their normal price. This is one of the best mutations in the game for making money. Once a crop gets the HoneyGlazed mutation, it keeps it forever. You don’t have to worry about the effect wearing off – you can harvest whenever you want and still get the 5x money.
Is It Worth the Cost?
Each sprinkler costs 30 honey, which takes time to collect. Think about whether you’ll make enough extra money to cover this cost before buying one.
- High-value crops can easily make back the sprinkler cost and more. Common crops might not give you enough extra money to be worth it.
- Consider what else you want from the shop. You might also want pets, seeds, or decorations, so plan how to spend your honey across everything you want.
The Honey Sprinkler is a useful tool that can help you make a lot more money from your crops. Just remember to use it smart – place it near your best plants when they’re ready to harvest, and you’ll get good value for your honey investment.
