Bee keeping Development

[9erRed]

Greetings,

For the Dev.

Does the Development item of Bee keeping effect fertility of anything in the game?
- Only 2 allowed per region.
- Does produce Honey, and in the future wax.

Does it have any effect on location placed?
- If placed near Berry supplies.
- If placed near Farms.
- If near Vegetable gardens.

Or any negative effect if placed within the town.

Seems to currently only allow for Honey, and storage of 5 units, but wondering if there are hidden features with the Apiary.

Thanks for the Game at this stage,
Saw there is a parch being worked on, Great.

From what I saw and understand it doesn't effect any fertility but it would be cool to see that.

It just outputs food at a very steady, respectable rate for almost no labor. Its very simple and crude mechanically currently.

Its valuable but not overpowered in my experience. No real ways to minmax it either.
In the early game on higher difficulties it greatly increases the ease of expanding quickly, even if it falls behind other developments at development level six.

Related to this, something I meant to ask, where do we make candles? I'm not sure whether I'm being dumb or if this isn't implemented yet (I have both bee related options unlocked).

Greetings,

The Bee Keeper has a yet not implemented function to gather wax from beehives.
- That should offer the function to "make candles".
- But may also need a Candle Maker shop or Artisan?

The church was a major user of candles during this time period, as well as Manor homes.
