The Hive Score and tiers explained

Hive Score is a running point total that tracks your activity and contributions on InnoBee — submitting, judging, winning, and other platform activity all add points. It's visible on your profile and is one of the inputs to your reputation tier. There are four tiers, in order: Baby Bee, Mason Bee, Killer Bee, and Honey Bee. Higher tiers unlock small platform perks and are visible to other users as a signal of track record — they're separate from your subscription plan (Free/Yellow Jacket/Queen/Diamond), which controls feature access rather than reputation.
