Question about bees

[Miz]

It says to put the beehive buildable near 'nourishment' what exactly does that mean? Do you need to keep crops 'flowering' to feed the bees or something?

[Kairi ♡]

You need to put bees near liquid container with antejuice.

[Doctor Darling]

They need Antejuice. So either put them by the Antejuice pool, or put some barrels full of it near their nests.

Gotcha, thanks yall, now, with the nest does it create a hazard zone for other players, or completely safe?

They seem fine, until you harvest from them. Make sure to wear your suit.

beehives need only 10ml to produce 1 honeyload
bees cant produce if theyre placed too close to each other
bees only produce honey if an antejuice source is nearby
bees can share one antejuice source

Questions - how do you harvest honey and how do you use crank on laser pistol.

[Gamer23]

tap 'e' on the beehive and tap 'r' while holding onto the laser pistol

Once you see the hive has honey dripping from it, you can hover over it and harvest it. Be aware, that harvesting damages the hives. Make sure to have a hammer.

How... exactly do you use bees? I made a beehive, placed it on the only surface near the antejuice lake it allowed me to place it at, and... Nothing. There are bees swarming around it, and nothing happened for the past ~6h of gameplay.

Two things: From what I've seen, the antejuice pool doesn't seem to work for feeding the bees, even though it should, so use a barrel with antejuice instead (one barrel lasts for 1000 production cycles). Also, the Hives won't produce if you're too far away from them so setting them up at or near your base is a good idea.

Oh, that's good, i will try that then. The reason i set up at the lake is that wiki said it took 5L per cycle

That error's been on there since the update came out. It's odd no one has bothered to correct it yet, so I'm just gonna go ahead and do that.

Oh cool! Someone that works on the wiki!

Ok, so i relocated the beehive to my base, went back to the cave to fill the second barrel with Antejuice, warped back, and the hive was already dripping with honey, thank you for telling me that the feeding from environment is broken!

I'm glad it's working for you now.

I honestly just do small edits whenever something outdated, incorrect or missing bothers me. When it comes to contributions, Dittibot and BoxFig are the champions of that wiki.
