Beeswax?

Postby RaspberryCommie » Sat Mar 26, 2016 4:12 am

I've had my bee skep up for about a week now with my little garden and I haven't gotten a single piece of wax off of it.

Is there anything I need to do, or is wax production really that slow?

Keep planting lots of fast growing flowering crops around it (ie. carrots) and it will produce wax a lot faster. It also speeds up the growth of said crops.

I read something about beehives only having 50 regenerating uses for speeding up cropgrowth. Does this only affect the speed, or does it affect wax generation too?

They're linked.

Beehives give wax every 200 growth~ (not including planting seed), so you can only have one wax per day per beehive since it regen 50 per 6 hour (seem to be a bit less than one per day).

If you want to have many wax, growth carrot and have 1 beehive per 50 tiles of carrot.

I have put a bee skeep around carrots and beetroots, its been 3 rl days and still no honey/wax. I have place it in between a extraction press and a tree but there are a shit ton of crops in the radius of the skeep.

edit: seems like putting it in a different place solved the problem, got wax in like 30 min
