Honey takes too long to produce

[Simanetik]

The most important ingredient of potions takes 20 minutes to produce. You need at least 10 Beehives to produce 1 Single Potion in 20 Minutes. Should be quicker. Change my mind.

if you go to sleep at night the days go faster and you produce more you need about 10 hives

Same here, no mods either.

My boy and I have 6 hives for the both of us and I have regular chest overflowing with honey but then we don't eat meals and drink mead like it's going out of fashion...only when we need to going into a combat situation.

I had 2 SP playtroughs and one in MP. In none of them i ever had a shortage of honey. Never needed more than 6 beehives and that was for the MP with 5 players. in my SP i had 4, would have been good with 2 or 3 also i guess.

You made your point, you look like a whinny little b*tch right now. I can blame whoever I want and how I want. It's my right.

A lot of Youtubers said that beehives don't always drop bees, so that's what I thought.

Ah yes, calling someone a whiny ♥♥♥♥♥ and proclaiming you do what you want because rights! What a wonderful response.

You are absolutely free to do what you want, but when you are blaming a game because of your own ignorance, I am going to call you on it. I too can do what I want, it's my right :P

Grass takes too long to grow. I sit there for hours watching the grass grow and it just takes forever. I really think they need to speed it up.

I mean /sure/ I suppose I could go do something else. Farm wood, Copper, Iron, Silver, Dark metal, Core wood. Hides, crops...or build my house / base / food court / shopping mall...

But that's like work. I want instant gratification.

NOW!

This is me, I have 6 in my single player game, and I have over a stack of honey in storage, and like 20-30 on me and I eat that ♥♥♥♥ every 300 seconds if I am out exploring (it has high hp regen on it).

Well it makes 6 and you can collect honey long before you ever need to make mead.

Sounds like player laziness to me.

You also forget the fermentor takes days to actually ferment the stuff, least with the mead bases it does.

[Dreaminway]

I have 4 hives and a chest of about 20+ bees... and three full of honey... I really don't see how you can't be over flowing...
And if you wanna cry about how long it takes to make the mead.... I have 6 fermenters going, with room to add more... but even what I have is a bit overkill.

[Uncle Sam]

Farm more bees, I have six beehives and more than enough honey for a single player.

And that's why you build beehives ASAP. I have a chest filled with honey and only 4 beehives. They produce plenty honey for me. I have never worried about running out.

Here is where I would build my beehives... if I would find any queen bee!!

So far, I found only one queen bee.

Once you have five bee hives or more you start to end up with an over abundance of honey and start looking for excuses to get rid of it.

Me personally I built a whole keg shack to increase my brewing capacity partly to dispose of excess honey. Now I have excess potions and I'm abusing the crap out of them.

They do? I think that I didn't get any at least once.

[Dreaminway]

They always drop bees. Just sometimes the bee can end up on a roof, or behind a wall, or flung into the air. It's why I always take it out with a single arrow than doing the demoing work around.

[Warm Fuzzies™]

I have heard Slip, Kage, Games4Kickz, GameEdged, and Paul all say Wild Beehives dont always drop a Queen.

Now Ive no clue if this is actually true or not, wiki has zero info on the matter. For me personally, I've broken around 6 or 7 wild hives, and have only gotten 2 Queens.

Ive never seen the queens on top of the structure in my own world, and I dont know if they clip under the map. The two that I have seen drop, dropped to the ground right under the hive.

@OP
Hope your luck improves

Waaa. I want everything now. Another Veruca Salt.
