Bee boxes create more flowerS?

[Portable Washing Machine 10 LBS]

I created a few hoping that the bees will reproduce the flowers around

Only homless bees will mutiply flowers. Catch them with bugnet and release, they will be considered homeless.

in my experience, yes. more flowers grow. i had absolutely zero flowers where i put my base and now, with 7 bee boxes, my base is surrounded by flowers.

Also, in RoG, more flowers will spawn in Spring (homeless bees or otherwise).

1) capture butterflies with bug nets
2) 'plant' butterflies as new flowers
3) flowers spawn more butterflies
4) butterflies naturally spawn new flowers
5) enjoy exponentially spreading flower garden

It will take allot of bug nets lol, what im doing is , i have placed one bee box, and I just wont tuach it now for weeks, it will create flowers, the flowers will increase their own productions with butter flies and etc etc etc, i tried to cupture homeless bees.... they can skip hay walls (or any walls?)..

no, not even remotely correct. you can capture 10 butterflies per bug net, and you only need 4 flowers to maximize a single bee box's efficiency. that's 2 bee boxes per bug net, or 5 bee boxes per 2 bug nets if you want even divisibility.

when you take into consideration that a proper bee box farm will have the bee boxes grouped near eachother within a walled off area (to minimize bee roaming idleness), you could easily get the farm started with a single net.

But can they be walled off? they just flew happily over my grass walls
(in case they cant fly out of a stone wall) if I open a gap for me to enter, and hes pretty distant from the other bee boxes, will the bees do the whole trip around to get to to the other side?

as far as i know, if you fully upgrade the walls then nothing can pass through them. don't quote me on that though, as i have yet to get to the point where a farm is even remotely on my mind. even if they can't be held in place by the walls, it doesn't really matter if you run past and pick up the exterior flowers every day.

Walls? Any bee that was captured and released is homeless forever and won't try to return into beebox or wild hive. They won't run away from you eighter, since they won't roam far from flowers.

If I remember correctly, you can seal them in once you build your walls up to Tier 3, the highest they can go.

I don't normally wall them off myself, I just drop 2-3 in a convenient area and let them do their thing... but I seem to remember that they need the absolute highest walls possible to stay in a confined space.

I haven't read up on it in awhile but bees should plant new flowers sometimes if they manage to visit six flowers in one day and return to the hive, if they come out again with enough time they will likely spawn a new flower.

This is also true.
