Catch And Tame Update March 2026 — Update 18 Bee Island

By Earnaldo Team • March 29, 2026 • 8 min read

Update 18 went live on March 22, 2026, adding an entirely new area to Catch And Tame. Bee Island is a honey-themed island packed with new bee creatures to catch, 4 beehives to discover, and a passive honey production system that generates resources while you're offline. There's also a new BEEISLAND code to redeem for free rewards. Here's the full rundown of what Update 18 brings to the game.

What's New in Update 18: Bee Island

Bee Island is the newest island added to Catch And Tame's expanding world map. It's a lush, flower-covered island with meadows, flowering trees, cliff edges, and a central honey pool. The island is accessible by boat from the main dock, though you'll need to have progressed far enough in the game to unlock it.

The island introduces a completely new creature category: bees. Unlike the mammals, reptiles, and birds found on previous islands, bees bring a unique mechanic — passive honey production. Once you catch and tame bee creatures and place them in your pen, they produce honey at regular intervals, even when you're not actively playing.

New Bee Creatures

Bee Island features multiple bee species at different rarity tiers. Each species produces different quantities of honey and has varying catch difficulty.

The Honeybee and Bumblebee are your starter catches on the island. They're easy to lasso and produce modest amounts of honey. The Carpenter Bee and Mason Bee sit in the Rare tier and offer a noticeable step up in honey output, though they move faster and require better timing with your lasso.

The Golden Bee is the Epic-tier target that most players will be grinding for. It produces significantly more honey than the lower-tier bees and has a distinctive golden glow that makes it visible from a distance — but it's fast and skittish. The Queen Bee is the Legendary catch of Bee Island. It produces the most honey of any bee creature and is extremely difficult to catch. It spawns rarely and flees at the first missed lasso attempt.

Beehives and Honey Production

One of the standout features of Bee Island is the 4 beehives scattered across the island. Finding all 4 is a key objective for new arrivals. Each beehive is located in a different zone of the island and produces different types of honey at regular intervals.

Beehives serve as collection points. Visit them periodically to collect accumulated honey, which can be sold for cash or used in the new honey merging system. Merging different honey types creates higher-value products, adding another layer to the game's economy.

The passive honey production from tamed bees in your pen stacks with beehive collection. A player with a full pen of high-tier bees and regular beehive collection runs will generate significantly more passive income than any previous island's offline earnings.

Honey Economy

Honey serves as both a sellable resource and a crafting material. You can sell raw honey for cash at the island's vendor, or merge different types to create premium honey products worth considerably more. The merging system follows the same pattern as the game's existing pet merging — combine 3 of the same type to get a higher-tier version.

Royal Honey from the central beehive is the most valuable honey type and can't be created through merging. It's exclusively produced at the Central Honey Pool hive and accumulates slowly. Collecting it regularly is the most efficient way to build cash reserves on Bee Island.

How This Affects Gameplay

Update 18 adds a meaningful new progression path to Catch And Tame. Bee Island isn't just another island with different-looking creatures — the honey production system creates a passive income stream that feeds into the broader game economy. Players who invest time in catching high-tier bees early will benefit from compounding honey production over time.

The bee creatures themselves follow the familiar catch-and-tame loop, but the honey mechanic gives them ongoing utility beyond just filling your collection. A Common Honeybee isn't just a collection entry — it's a small but consistent honey producer that generates value indefinitely. This makes every catch feel worthwhile, even at the lower rarity tiers.

The 4-beehive scavenger hunt adds exploration incentive to the island. Finding all 4 hives is one of the first things you should do when arriving, since each one starts producing honey immediately once discovered. The Cliff Edge and Central Honey Pool hives produce higher-tier honey, so prioritize exploring those zones first.

For existing players, the honey economy injects a new resource into the game that complements the existing cash and merging systems. It doesn't replace anything — it layers on top of what's already there, giving veteran players new goals alongside their existing island routines.

New Codes

Update 18 launched with at least one confirmed code. Use BEEISLAND for free rewards tied to the new update. To redeem codes in Catch And Tame, open the game's settings menu and look for the code redemption option.

Updated Tips and Strategies

First Steps on Bee Island

When you first arrive on Bee Island, resist the urge to start catching bees immediately. Instead, explore the entire island and locate all 4 beehives first. Each hive begins producing honey the moment you discover it, so finding them early maximizes your passive production time. The hives are at the Flowering Tree Grove, Meadow Clearing, Cliff Edge, and Central Honey Pool.

After locating all hives, start catching bees near the dock area where Honeybees and Bumblebees spawn. These Common and Uncommon catches are easy to lasso and will start producing honey in your pen right away. Build up a base of low-tier bees before investing time in chasing the rarer species.

Catching the Queen Bee

The Queen Bee is the hardest catch on Bee Island and requires a specific approach. She spawns infrequently and in random locations across the island. When you spot one, approach slowly — she'll flee at the first sign of a missed lasso throw. Make sure your lasso skill is maxed before attempting the catch, and wait until she's stationary before throwing.

Some players report better Queen Bee spawn rates during nighttime in-game, though this hasn't been officially confirmed. If you're farming for the Queen, it's worth experimenting with different time windows to see if spawn patterns shift.

Maximizing Honey Income

The most efficient honey setup is a pen full of the highest-tier bees you can catch, combined with regular beehive collection runs. Golden Bees are the sweet spot for most players — they produce significantly more honey than Rare-tier bees and are realistic to catch in quantity, unlike the Queen Bee.

Don't neglect the honey merging system. Combining 3 Wildflower Honeys into 1 Clover Honey and then further merging up the chain produces items worth more than selling the raw honeys individually. The math favors merging over selling raw every time.

Merging Strategy

The honey merging system follows the standard 3-to-1 merge ratio. Three Wildflower Honeys combine into one Clover Honey, three Clover Honeys into one Mountain Honey, and three Mountain Honeys into one Royal Honey equivalent. The value increase at each tier is significant — a merged Mountain Honey sells for roughly 4 to 5 times what three individual Wildflower Honeys would fetch.

Patience pays off here. Hoard your lower-tier honeys until you can merge them up rather than selling them individually. The cash difference adds up quickly over days of play.

Community Reaction

The community has welcomed Bee Island as a solid content addition. The passive honey production system has been particularly well received by players who appreciate the offline income aspect of Catch And Tame. Having a new island with an entirely new creature type (bees) rather than reskinned versions of existing animals keeps the gameplay fresh.

The beehive scavenger hunt has been a hit with newer players who enjoy exploration. Finding all 4 hives gives a sense of discovery that some of the more recent islands had been lacking. The Cliff Edge hive in particular has been praised for its scenic location and the minor parkour challenge needed to reach it.

The Queen Bee's rarity has generated the expected mix of frustration and excitement. Players who've caught one are showing them off proudly, while others are sharing tips and spawn location theories. It's the kind of chase target that keeps players coming back to the island even after they've completed the initial exploration.
