I try to reply within a few days. If you're reporting a problem, it helps to include your device model, your iOS version, and what you were doing when it happened.

Does my garden keep growing while the app is closed?
Yes. Crops keep ripening and your bees keep making honey while you're away, up to a limit.

My bees died. Did I lose my farm?
No. If a colony collapses you lose most of the swarm, but your beds, upgrades and HoneyBucks stay. Keep honey in the pantry to feed a growing hive.

Why are my crops growing slowly?
Check the soil. Tap the soil lens above the garden: beds below 50% soil grow slower. Planting Sweet Clover nearby, or resting a bed, restores it.

How do I start a new season?
Build the Golden Apiary — all nine beds plus hive and home at level 5 — then open the Almanac (the trophy button) and begin the next season. You keep every milestone and gain a permanent harvest bonus.

Is there a way to start completely over?
Yes: Settings (the gear button) → Start a New Garden.
