Don't take the radius from ender's
read
thisServer grids also control beehive mechanics. Any beehive placed in the center server grid only exerts its beehive radius on 3x3 grids. Its center server grid and its adjacent server grids around the beehive. Animals similar to beehives only check for food and grass tiles inside the 3x3 server grid range. Trees also exert there terraforming dominance in the 3x3 range. In some rare instances there exists a bug where map grids somehow prevents the 3x3 range to reduce to 2x3 but its unclear how it happens and most often its in the corners of map grids this bug shows up.
