At the end of each of your turns, you must discard any resources that do not fit in your hive. For each resource token you discard, you may gain 1 Queen’s Favor (advance on the track; sharing spaces with other players is fine). The Queen’s Favor track offers an endgame scoring bonus based on your final position. The () icon, as seen on seed cards, dances, and other components, denotes additional ways of gaining Queen’s Favor.

You may not voluntarily discard resources to gain Queen’s Favor, but you may rearrange resources inefficiently to trigger end-of-turn discarding. Any resources in your hive at the end of the game are not discarded and thus do not provide Queen’s Favor.
