New FrontierVille Collections: Flower Shop & Flower Gardening

Along with the release of the Flower Shop in FrontierVille today, we also see the game updated with two new collections to match. As usual, as with the release of any new building, we see a new collection released specifically for that building, but we also have a new collection dealing with raising the new flowers that are now available to plant and grow in the game.

The first collection is the Flower Shop collection, and this is the general collection that will be filled either when whacking the frame of the Flower Shop while building it, or when collecting your Daily Bonus from the Flower Shop once per day. The five items to be on the lookout for are:

Vase
Floral Wire
Bouquet Bow
Floral Foam
Gift Card

Collecting all five of these items will allow you to trade in the collection to receive 50 coins and a Flower Shop Sign decorative item which is only available (currently) through turning in the collection.

Meet us behind the break for details on the Flower Gardening collection, which is earned in an entirely different way.

As for the Flower Gardening collection, you'll earn these five items by tending to your flowers that you purchase after finishing the Flower Shop building on your land. Your flowers grow over time, like crops and trees do, and when you come back to tend to your flowers, you'll be able to randomly receive the following five items:

Gardening Apron
Pruning Shears
Flower Food
Potting Soil
Flower Bucket

The reward for this collection is a new kind of flower that is currently unavailable to purchase in the game (even if you have a completed Flower Shop on your land) - Irises. You'll receive 2 Irises, to be exact, along with 25 XP.

And there you have it - two collections to work on while completing your normal gameplay activities in FrontierVille. Will these new collections have an impact on how many flowers you'll purchase and grow in the game?

FrontierVille Beehive Collection offers Apple Tree Boosts as reward

To go along with the release of the Beehive animal building in FrontierVille, Zynga has released a new collection called the Beehive Collection. You'll be able to find these five new items either while whacking the actual frame of the Beehive during construction (check out our full guide to building the Beehive), or while collecting the Daily Bonus from the building.

Here's what to keep an eye out for:

Raw Honey
Propolis
Honeycomb
Royal Jelly
Pollen

Once you collect these five items, you'll be able to trade them in for five Apple Tree Ready Boosts. To be clear, you'll receive all five Boosts for turning in the collection just once, so if you're in a jam, and want to harvest some extra Apple Trees without waiting for them to regrow naturally, this is a great collection to keep in mind.

What do you think of this new Beehive collection? Do you think the reward is worth trading in these items, or will you hold onto them?
