Island Beekeeper Bee Figurines Guide

The bee figurines are a new category of collectible added in the major August 2026 content update alongside 35 Steam achievements, Blackjack, the in-game map, and a new endgame event. These charming collectibles are hidden across all the sky islands, rewarding players who explore every corner of the archipelago.

This guide covers what bee figurines are, where to find them, and how they fit into the broader collection and achievement system.

For the full August 2026 update notes, see Updates and Patch Notes. For bee species and breeding, see Bee Species. For island exploration, see Island Exploration.

What Are Bee Figurines

Bee figurines are small collectible representations of the various bee species found in Island Beekeeper. Unlike actual bees that live in hives and produce honey, these figurines serve as trophies and decorations that track your progress discovering different species across the islands.

Each figurine is modeled after a specific bee species — from common starter bees to rare hybrid varieties. Finding a figurine typically means you have either encountered that species in the wild or successfully bred it in your apiary.

Where to Find Bee Figurines

Figurines are hidden in various locations across the sky islands:

Named Landmarks — Several landmark structures on each island contain figurines. Check monuments, shrines, and decorative structures as you explore new areas.

Puzzle Chests — The August 2026 update changed rewards found in puzzle chests across the islands. Some of these chests now contain bee figurines as rare rewards for puzzle completion.

Trader Locations — The Night Island Trader now sells decoration blueprints, and some traders may offer figurines as special items once you have reached certain reputation levels.

Exploration Rewards — Simply discovering new areas and reading lore notes can lead you to figurines hidden in scenic overlooks or secret corners of islands.
