I don't plant flowers, and my beehouse is some distance away from any kind of crops. Still, I get honey.

1 flower will only fill 8 beehives. As for layout, the area of effect works in reverse. If you put a flower in the middle, then a beehive on any green tile will be able to reach the flower. So try this:

You harvest around the inside circle and the outside circle. You'll get 32 flower honey, and 2 wild honey (Theoretically. I haven't farmed enough syrup to make that many hives yet. I only have 9 so far)

You don't have to grow any flowers. The honey will be worth more if you do, but if you aren't trying to sell the honey directly for the cash, there is no real benefit for flowers, and you can just use wild honey for gifts, cooking, or warp totems, since it's treated the same either way.

If you do want higher-value honey, I don't think there is any limit to how many bee skeps you can set up near it besides the limit of range, and cluster hypothetically as much as 58 skeps around a single flower, although you'd need to cut that down to a maximum of 39 if you wanted to actually reach any of the bee skeps.
