Tub of flowers does not have bees go to it to make flavoured honey?

[RPG Gamer Man]

I made a tub of flowers but my beehive won't make flavoured honey..does it count as flowers even though i keep only getting wild honey?

It's just a decorational tile. It won't affect the bees.

There are specific flowers that you need to grow I believe. I think it's fairy flowers, blue jazz, roses, and tulips. I may be absolutely incorrect and they just speed up the process.

ok...i just got fooled by a decorative item..i wish the bee's could make honey from it..

Poppys are another flower that you can use to create flavoured honey.

I just made my first flavored honey and wow, didn't expect the huge increase in value. Honey went from 150g to 1020g for the fairy flower flavour.

Fairy roses get you the most valuable honey.

[RPG Gamer Man]

nice..ill keep that in mind..and i knew about the money increase.mostly as the items that are more manufactured in at least old harvest moon games are worth more..as for the decorative items..i wish the developer would explain in game that the bees do not get pollen from them, since im a new user of the game and this really confused me.....

Just for the record, all of the "standard" flowers -- i.e. the ones that come in packets from the shops -- can change what kind of honey is made. In the case where a beehive is within range of multiple flower types, the honey will be randomised to one of the available types.

Sunflowers don't influence honey production, however they can be used to make cooking oil -- either the flower or seed can be put into the oil press. Since sunflowers give you more seeds back with each harvest (usually enough to replant the whole field plus a few left over), this makes sunflowers a great perennial crop -- buy them cheaply from the Joja Mart (they're the only item in the game that Joja sells cheaper than Pierre's shop does).

Several townfolk have flowers among their favourit items, too. Fairy Roses are Jas' favourite flower, Haley's is the Summer Spangle (colour doesn't matter, but she mentions at some point that she likes pink...), and Penny's is the Poppy off the top of my head. The wiki will have any I've forgotten, lol. I believe that honey is an ingredient in at least one recipe which is a favourite for one of the NPCs. Being an Artisan product, honey is also good as a generic gift if you don't have any favourite items available; I don't think any NPCs actually dislike honey although again check the wiki to be sure. But my point, here, is that honey production has some nice by-products if you're looking to make friends with certain NPCs, and honey itself is a good way to *ahem*... sweeten... your relationships around town.
