The crypto world is abuzz with discussions about Bee Network, especially after a recent post from BSCNews highlighting their 2025 guide to the platform. The tweet, which links to an in-depth article on bsc.news, poses the burning question: Will Bee Network ever announce its Token Generation Event (TGE)? Let's break it down in simple terms and see what the community is saying.

Bee Network is a mobile-first blockchain project launched back in 2020 by Gian Luzio. It's designed to make crypto mining accessible to everyone through a smartphone app available on both Android and iOS. Unlike traditional mining that requires heavy hardware, Bee lets users "mine" Bee Coins by simply checking in daily, referring friends, and participating in community activities. Think of it as a gamified way to get into crypto – you can play mini-games like Tank or Flee to boost your earnings.

As of April 2025, Bee Network boasts over 44 million users, or "Beelievers," across 200 countries. The app serves as a Web3 portal, integrating decentralized apps (DApps) like Gameta, where you can earn NFTs and other rewards. Key features include Bee Pay for stablecoin transactions and lotteries (though restricted in some areas like the US), staking for governance, and an upcoming Bee Chain blockchain for full decentralization.

But here's where it gets interesting – and a bit frustrating for some. The native BEE Token isn't live yet. What users are earning now are Bee Coins, which are pre-launch rewards. The actual BEE Token will power transactions, staking, DApps, and more once the TGE happens and the mainnet launches. Tokenomics details, like supply and distribution, are still under wraps, following a phased approach outlined in their whitepaper. They're currently in Phase 3, focusing on building a value exchange marketplace.

The BSCNews guide dives deep into this, comparing Bee Network to projects like Pi Network, which took years to launch but eventually did. However, the lack of a clear TGE timeline has sparked debates. In the thread under the BSCNews post, users are voicing their concerns. One reply asks, "Should we continue or stop mining since there is no roadmap for when the currency will be launched on the DEX?" Another simply demands, "When TGE?"

And then there's the memes – because what's crypto without a good laugh? One user shared this gem criticizing the project for prioritizing ads over the mainnet launch.

This meme captures the sentiment perfectly: frustration over delays and perceived focus on monetization through ads rather than delivering the promised token. Controversies aren't new; some call it a Pi clone or even question if it's a scam due to data collection and no monetization yet. But with such a massive user base, the potential is huge if they deliver.

On the flip side, Bee Network has made progress with updates like BEE Wallet 2.0 in April 2025, adding multi-language support and better functionality. They're positioning themselves as a fun, empowering movement in Web3, not just another crypto project.

If you're new to Bee Network, getting started is easy. Download the app, sign up with an invitation code for a bonus, and start mining. Just remember, until the TGE, those Bee Coins aren't tradable. Keep an eye on their official channels like @Beenetworkintl on X for updates.

In the meme token space, delays like this often fuel viral content, turning projects into cultural phenomena. Will $BEE become the next big thing, or will the hype sting? Only time will tell, but the community's reactions are keeping the conversation alive.
