The Beehive

"'Spring is coming! Your little bee friends are buzzing about again, upgrading any ore they see by increasing and then tripling its value! Bees can only upgrade once. April 2016 exclusive.' ' "

Overview
The Beehive is an Exotic-tier upgrader. It was added on April 7th, 2016. It requires a Large Conveyor Ramp (or similar) to get ore into the upgrader. It's best to place this upgrader in the beginning of a setup as the extra $10,000 can lead to slightly higher ore value when multiplied by other upgraders.
