Bee and butterfly paths paint crops with pet-driven value — Pollinated at 6× is the calm-day environmental staple that apiary layouts farm without waiting on lightning.
Pollinated procs when bee, butterfly, or similar pollinator pets visit mature crops, and weather.ts also lists it under Windy and Honey Drizzle bonuses. mutations.ts: pet category, multiplier 6, stackable true. Flower-adjacent rows raise visit frequency; blizzards are poor pollination weather even if pets stay equipped.

Pollinated is environmental at 6×. Solo: envBracket = 1 + (6 − 1) = 6. No CONFLICT_PAIRS entry. It stacks in the env sum with Honeyed (9×), Honey Glazed (12×), Tranquil (15×), and Friendbound (26×). Growth stays exclusive and separate. Do not multiply pet env tags together.

Pollinated applies a 6× multiplier in the pet bracket. The table below shows the value it adds to a reference crop (base 50) across common harvest weights, so you can gauge how much this tag is worth before chasing it.
| Weight | Base crop value | With Pollinated (6×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 300 | +250 |
| 2 kg | 200 | 1.2K | +1K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 7.5K | +6.25K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 30K | +25K |
Pollinated (6×) + Honeyed (9×) + Tranquil (15×): env sum 30, count 3, envBracket = 28. On Golden (20×) growth and 1.5 kg mid-tier crops, that calm stack prints trade value without storm RNG. Friendbound (26×) can join when friend-pet visits are real — check the harvest UI before advertising a four-tag bracket.
One pollinator covering its radius beats three bees stacked on one tile. Rotate pets across plots so mature rows actually get visits during Honey Drizzle’s short six-minute window.
Pollinated has no Wet or Frozen conflict. A rainy day can still show Pollinated beside Wet (2×) if both proc. Frozen’s conflicts are with Wet, Chilled, Frostbite, and Ember — not with Pollinated — so a cold snap does not automatically strip bee tags.
Price Pollinated commons modestly unless heavier env neighbors are present. The 6× bracket point is real padding, not a screenshot flex on its own.
