Why Wont My Beehive Make Wax?

Postby Long-Gone » Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:18 pm

as the title suggests, my beehive makes honey, but not wax. i have a big farm in its radius. but it refuses to let me get any.

Any ideas? kthx

Honey and wax - just random. Just replant your fields around beehive. Wax and honey generate only when plants growing.

You know it or you just think that if beehive full of honey it will 100% generate wax at successful ticks?

2-3 wax form beehive. But area of this beehive fully planted by growing plants? If so, then I get 2-3 wax and some honey from such beehive.

I don't think that if beehive is full of honey then chance honey/wax changing. I think that chance is same, but excess honey just gone.

I got 5 wax from a behive just now. The honey hasn't been harvested in 2-3 days and the only plants growing in it's radius is a 17x20 field of wheat. maybe wax quantity is random?

for the beehive give beewax , you need a field ( 10x10 ) with carrots ! only carrots . in 1 day you get 2-5 beewax , just plant carrots .

if you make a circle with carrots in a day you get 3 - 13 beewax :)

Every time a crop grows a bit, or even while you're simply planting new crops in the radius of a beehive there is a chance for wax and honey to be produced.

If you need wax bad, plant a fast growing crop such as carrots or beetroot and farm them whenever they are ready to be harvested, rinse and repeat.
