• ⚙️ REWORKED MECHANICS — Hive spacing rules, flower requirements, and colony health all affect production

GETTING STARTED

• EXPLORE — Walk through nature to find wild bee colonies. Press E to collect bee eggs and hive cores.
• BUILD — Ask a Carpenter to craft your first Small Hive. Place it somewhere with flowers nearby.
• HATCH — Place bee eggs inside the hive. They'll grow into bees that produce honeycombs over time.
• EXTRACT — Use an Extractor to process honeycombs into honey and wax, then craft the full recipe tree.

⚠️ Hives need at least 100 FLOWERS WITHIN 10 BLOCKS to function, and must not be placed too close to each other.

⚠️ Hives production speed is now based on the pollen around them. 💡 Storing bees and eggs inside hives slows their decay significantly.
