Bee Swarm Simulator has 26 amulets, and they are some of the strongest items in the game.
They are also the most confusing. You cannot buy one, you cannot pick which one you get, and two players with the same amulet can have completely different bonuses on it.
This page lists all of them, shows what decides the one you get, and explains the part that trips everyone up.
The quick answer
There are 26 amulets in 7 families. You get one by beating a boss or finishing a challenge, and a hidden counter decides which tier of that family you are offered.
Amulets are only one of the two gear slots. Our guide to all 41 beequips covers the other, and finds the same pollen pattern: 47.2% of their hive bonuses are Pollen bonus.
Read this before you swap. When a new amulet appears you choose Keep Old or Replace. Replacing cannot be undone. Compare the two stat lists carefully, because you do not get a second chance.
The other thing to know is that every amulet rolls its bonuses. All 26 of them do, which is why your Gold Cog Amulet may look nothing like your friend’s.
How amulets actually work
Three things happen when the game hands you an amulet, and they happen in this order.
1. A counter sets the quality
Every family watches one number. For the Ant amulets it is how many ants you have beaten. For the Star amulets it is how many different gifted bee types you own. That number becomes the amulet’s quality.
2. The quality moves the odds
This is the part people get wrong. A higher counter makes a better amulet more likely. It does not promise one. The game says so plainly. A better quality improves your chance, but it never removes the chance of a worse amulet.
3. The bonuses are picked, then made strong
The amulet then picks its bonuses from a set of pools. Some bonuses only show up part of the time, which is why an amulet can arrive with fewer bonuses than you expected.
The surprise. Quality does not change which bonuses you get. It only changes how strong they are. So a low quality amulet can still roll the exact bonuses you wanted, just weaker.
What decides which amulet you get
Five different counters are used across the 7 families. Find yours and you know what to farm.

Each family also has a cap. Once your counter passes it, pushing further does nothing for that amulet.

Why some bands say they are not published. 7 amulets carry no counter band in the game data. The Shell family is the clearest case. Beating the Stump Snail more often does raise your chance of a better Shell amulet. The exact numbers are not written down anywhere we can check, so we have not made any up.
Two amulets have an open top end. Supreme Ant Amulet and Diamond Stick Bug Amulet have no upper limit on their band. They stay possible no matter how far past it you get.
Why no two amulets are the same
Each amulet has a few set bonuses and then rolls the rest. Multiply the choices together and you get the number of different versions that amulet can turn up as.

Added up, that is 5,650 possible bonus sets across the 26 amulets. Supreme Shell Amulet alone has 980 of them, while Bronze Ant Amulet has only 3. That is a 327 times gap.
What to do with that. On the low variety amulets there is little point rerolling, because there is barely anything else to get. On the high variety ones it is worth looking hard at what you rolled before you replace anything.

Amulets are a pollen item first. Pollen bonus takes 174 of the 349 slots, which is 49.9% of everything an amulet can roll. If you are hunting attack bonuses instead, you are fishing in a much smaller pond.
The rarest rolls
A few bonuses only appear on a small share of rolls. If you have one of these, it is worth keeping.

Bee Swarm Simulator amulets FAQ
How many amulets are in Bee Swarm Simulator?
26, split across 7 families. We counted them from the game’s own data rather than a list.
Can I choose which amulet I get?
No. A counter for that family decides which tier can appear, and the game still rolls. A better counter makes a better amulet more likely but never certain.
Why is my amulet worse than my friend’s?
Because every amulet rolls its bonuses. Two amulets with the same name can have different bonuses and different strengths.
Does a higher quality give me better bonuses?
It makes the bonuses you get stronger. It does not change which bonuses you get, so a lucky low quality amulet can still roll exactly what you wanted.
Can I undo replacing an amulet?
No. Replacing is permanent, so read both stat lists before you tap Replace.
Which amulet has the most possible versions?
Supreme Shell Amulet with 980. Bronze Ant Amulet has the fewest at 3.
What bonus do amulets give most often?
Pollen bonus, by a long way. It is 49.9% of every bonus slot in the game.
What does the Moon Amulet scale off?
How many amulets you already own. It is the only one that counts your collection instead of kills or score.
