NectarMerger

Nectarmerger is the first and currently only event. Players will spawn bees from their hives and place them besides flowers to produce honey. Honey then equates to score, unlocking a wide variety of rewards, most notable being the exclusive Slime Cap relics and the Beekeeper skin. It is worth noting that the event is entirely separate and independent from the base game with upgrades there having no effect here.

Bees
Bees are this events counterpart to Monsters. They are capable of dealing damage, producing honey (when next to a flower), and higher levels spawn a stack of Honeycomb when merged.

Flowers
Flowers activate adjacent Bee's Honey Production, as well as modifying it. These modifiers can be boosted a flat amount by the Flowers Boost Ability. Once Unlocked in the Build Menu for 25k Honey, a level 1 flower can be made for 20 Honeycomb.

There is also an IAP Flower with unique Mechanics called the Golden Lily. The Golden Lily has no modifier of it's own, instead it will always be 100% higher than your largest regular flower's modifier. This means if you have no other flowers, the Lily will have a modifier of 100%, regardless of your Flowers Boost.

Hives
Hives are the means by which players produce bees. A hive will generate a spawn every 4 minutes, storing them up to it's capacity (Which increases upon level up as well as by a percentage with the Hives Store More upgrade) until the player uses them. Hives can spawn 3 different items: Egg, Larvae, and Pupa these serve as the 3 precursors to Bees with 2 eggs merging into a Larvae, 2 Larvae merging into a Pupa, and 2 Pupa finally merging into a Level 1 Bee. New Hives can be built in the Build menu for 40 Honeycomb after unlocking them for 5k Honey.

'''Important: Any new hives start at max capacity. This is both when being built and merging to a higher level, thus it is of use to hold off on making new hives, especially high level ones, if you're closing in on a Capacity Upgrade'''

To Merge or Not to Merge
As discussed above, a newly made hive will begin full. This creates an interesting dynamic decision when you have 2 of the same level hive. As you can see above, 2 of a single level hive have a better combined average production than the single next level hive they would make. This means at times it is better to keep 2 smaller hives around. It's up to the player to determine when these times are. Here's a comparison of the various advantages and disadvantages each option provides.

Merging: Merging provides fairly obvious benefits by freeing up space and extending the time you can spend offline. Additionally, The extra bees given to you by your newly made hive will be able to serve you sooner than if you had waited to spawn them with the two smaller hives. However once that initial boost from the extra bees runs out (typically a few hours later) you will be running at a lower production, thus meaning you'll suffer in all bee related departments, aside from honey, in the long run.

Not Merging: Avoiding Merging will benefit the player's bee production and therefore directly improve their damage output and honeycomb production. However this comes at the cost of space which, when coupled with the extra spaces needed to store the eggs or larvae that only low level hives spawn, could potential result in the player running out of space and being unable to merge their bees any further. Additionally, even with the capacity upgrade fully leveled, low level hives cannot be away from the game for a long as most players sleep, severely handicapping overnight production.

Ultimately, there is no right or wrong way to play Necromerger, but understanding these advantages and disadvantages will allow the player to make decisions that suit their playstyle best.

Bears
Bears are unique enemies that players spawn manually from the build menu requiring Honey to unlock and Honeycomb to spawn. They have large quantities of health and award just as large quantities of honey upon defeating them. This is intended as a late game source of Honey for when your flowers are surrounded by fully leveled Bees.

Upgrades
There are 4 upgrades available for players to purchase with Honey, working much like spells do in the base game in that they have multiple levels and increase in power at a steady rate each level. Note: It's highly advisable to focus on Hives Store More during the first day of the event as the upgrade is essential for minimizing bees lost overnight while the player sleeps.

Trades
In the event shop the player will find 6 trades that refresh at the beginning of each day of the event: 3 costing Honey, 2 costing Gems, and one for watching an ad. The trades will get progressively more expensive as the days go by.
