Beehive
Bees settle in it and make honeycombs near flowers; with glass, it fills honey bottles by itself.
In the game
How to get it
Two rows of planks around three honeycombs taken from a wild bee nest (found under oak and birch crowns). Set it among flowers.
What it is for
Honeycombs from 30 s each (a meadow of flowers within 8 m) to 6.7 minutes (one flower); with glass in its first slot, honey bottles instead.
Why it exists
Honey and wax without breaking nests -- and bees for your garden.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
The beehive is a painted wooden hive with bees buzzing around it and honey glowing inside.
Getting started
- Find a wild bee nest: a lump hanging under the crown of an oak or a birch in forests (rare). Break it with an axe: a honeycomb for every 4 voxels of nest -- and every bee around attacks.
- Recipe: a row of Planks, three honeycombs, a row of planks.
How it works
- It needs flowers within 8 m: the more flowers, the faster. From one honeycomb every 30 s (a meadow) to one every 6.7 minutes (a single flower). No flower, no honey.
- Slots: glass (16 voxels a bottle), honeycombs, honey bottles. With glass in its first slot it makes honey bottles directly; otherwise honeycombs, until a slot is full.
- It runs by itself, no fuel, no power.
Bees
Bees appear by day near a hive with at least 3 flowers within 8 m. They forage and sleep at night; hit one and the swarm stings you. See Bee.
Products
Wax (a honeycomb melted), Honey (a honeycomb pressed into glass); honey tames bears.
Bees make honeycomb from the flowers within 8 m (more flowers, more honey). Glass in it fills honey bottles.
