making bee honey

[Archer]

when making bee honey, the barrel is not full - 7.0/7.5. ! This is nonsense and injustice and mockery! Do you even know how much work it takes to catch bees!?

[James Clements]

If you put the frame back into the beehive it should collect more honey over time.

I asked why I get 7.0 honey in a barrel from 5 frames instead of 7.5, why is there such a disadvantage?! Why is this done??? On purpose??

[martinthomas2009]

i always wondered why there's 2% left on every frame when it stops spinning that surely would be enough to fill a barrel fully?

Hi there. I'm stuck even lower than you, 4.5 over 7.5, even if I put 3 full frames... What is hapening ?

The honey extractor takes five frames, not three.

Okay you get what you want the barrel will be nerfed to 7.0

dude, this is crap

Why is it all based of numbers anyway only causes problems with like everything either you got honey or you didnt .....the devs should scrap the whole number system.

Same goes for seeding and ferterlizer why am i buying little bottles of fert with 7.0 of liquid in em to fill a trailer with 30 fill area ......as the OP says this stuff makes no sense

just 1 hive - 1 full barrel of honey. That's all I would like

Wow I've seen some petty complaints but this one is just cringe. Dudes, if you are trying to make a quick buck then do the oil thing and slaughter pigs and cows. Everything else in game is just there if you want to do it. I've done the honey thing, but now I am full fledged slaughterhouse I could care less about it.

Here's what you do:
Obtain enough money to build a barn and house some pigs. Start out with only two pigs. They procreate rapidly. After then build a decent chicken pen. Slaughter pigs and sell only the meat until you get enough money to get into buying equipment to process the meat. Once you are making sausages add an unfertilized egg to each. It adds $10 to each sausage. After you have enough money build a goat pen. Buy at least 4 females and a male. They give you milk. Once you have equipment to collect milk you want to also start adding milk and egg to your sausages. You must also cure the meats for a higher profit.

It's literally the easiest, most fun and fastest way to generate income. And aside from that, check your oil pumps every so often and rake in the capitol! It's really super easy this game. You'll be building your dream ranch and owning/training horses in no time.

The bees suck. I have found this one hive that for whatever reason it will not let me grab it. It's just outside in the back of the farm where the lady asks you to kill the pesky foxes and sell her breakfast. Yeah, it's part of the tree. Also I am at day 33 and have yet to see even one hive respawn. Seriously, the bees are annoying loud and not worth your time and effort. Unless of course that is something you endeavor to seek much much later in your playthru.

And for those who are wanting to know, you can't kill the pigs with the stunner. Apparently that's just for cows. You must shoot the pig in the head. Only costs one bullet. Oh yeah and you will need plenty of coolers for collecting the meat. Each holds 24 and one pig gives 26 meat. So as you see, sometimes you get MORE than what you can hold. Unlike the stupid bees. I still haven't slaughtered any cattle yet. Waiting on the population to grow first. And farming... I don't even see the point in it yet.

Hey bro, just fix it. People are correct about not even filling one barrel with a full box of bees. That's ridiculous. If anything it should give more. Also for the time and effort it takes, and the rarity of it; honey should be selling at a higher profit. Maybe for $750-$1000 each barrel would entice the player to produce it more often. Just my two cents!

But seriously, please fix the hives that we aren't able to grab. I already mentioned the location of one such here in this thread.

Totally agree, but don't forget Granary and windmill. Don't waste money buying bags of food.

That's not right, sorry. I've been slaughtering pigs with stunner. The only time I shoot a pig is when it wont come through the gate, Then all the pigs do what they're told. You shoot a pig and the rest go crazy, even if they're asleep. But they come thru gate from then on.

Picture: Pig meat with Stunner in slaughter house.

Its not always about a quick buck as much as the half done systems in the game the whole number system is madness my seeder holds 30 seeds? really?

My grain bin holds 200? huh? like why this decimal point system? makes again no sense

why would honey need a number? either honey or no honey.

Too much re inventing the wheel in the math in this game its terrible

The game is fun yes but not 1 aspect of it feels "polished"
