Unlock the beehive and start repairing homes in the demo

Quick answer

After repairing Gerald’s shop, speak to the Mayor again. In the reviewed demo, the reward unlocks beehives for sale at Gerald’s stall during adventures. Continue the Mayor’s dialogue to accept the request to repair three homes, then check a damaged home’s crop-token requirement.

Collect the beehive unlock from the Mayor

The reward is a shop unlock. The inspected sequence does not show a beehive being added to Sprout’s held items or placed in the garden. If you cannot find one in your inventory, check the shop rather than assuming the reward failed.

For a later demonstration with a hive already held, follow the beehive placement guide below.

Accept the three-home request and inspect a repair

The inspected home asks for 15 crop tokens, while this player has 8. That frame shows an unaffordable repair prompt, not a successful repair. Read each home’s current price; the clip does not establish that every home costs the same or that the entire quest costs 45 tokens.

For a successful repair and its inventory reward, follow the backpack-expansion guide below.

After the requested repairs, use the linked completion guide for the Mayor’s follow-up. Its reward and ending sections contain spoilers.
