FarmVille Daikon crop now available in the Market

As part FarmVille's ongoing Japanese theme, a new Daikon crop has been introduced into the Market. The limited edition crop will be around for 11 days. Other stats for the Daikon crops are as follows:

Cost: 65 Coins
Sell for: 133 Coins
Harvest in: 8 Hours
XP Gained: 1 XP

Like other limited edition crops, there is no mastery available for Daikon crop, which is always a bit of a bummer. Would be great if Zynga would make that change so overachievers could get mastery for crops that are only around for a short amount of time. One can dream...

If you have never heard of a Daikon, it's a large, white radish (it kinda looks like a giant white carrot), and it tastes milder than red radishes we eat in the US. Fun fact about Daikon radish from Wikipedia: "Despite being known most commonly by its Japanese name, it did not originate in Japan, but rather in continental Asia."

FarmVille beehive glitch temporarily fixed, bees staying put for now

A few farmers have noticed that if you don't tend to your beehives on a regular basis, you'll be penalized by losing bees. However, a glitch this week sent bees flying even if hives were tended as required, which set farmers abuzz across the internet. Looks like the powers that be at FarmVille took note and bees will be staying put in the hives until the problem is permanently fixed. A notification located at the top of the FarmVille game screen also says that they're working on returning the bees that were lost.

Did you lose bees from your hive? If so, did you get 'em back yet?
