Spend honey in the shop below on helpers. Each one makes honey every second, even while you're not tapping.
Helpers cost a little more each time you buy one. Owning 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 of a kind doubles its output.
Sticky Paws makes each tap worth more.
Bonuses
Catch the golden bee when it flies past: it's worth a minute of honey. 2× honey doubles everything for 2 minutes. Your bees keep working while you're away (half speed, up to 2 hours).
