Bee larvaes are too rare

[Fostik]

The chance to get bee larvae from bee skep is too small.
This is almost impossible to manage, scale beeskeps and its quality in your base with only source of larvaes that you harvesting with wax.

is it? i have like a full cupboard of them?

My own experiences differ from OP's experiences, thus, his point is not valid at all!!!

...yes? If you say the sky is green now and we all need to wear blue glasses to make it blue again and I look up and see that the sky is actually still blue, my own experience differs froms yours and your point is not valid.
There is plenty of bee larvaes from skeps, more than you need really unless you're building a 3 layered wall around your base made purely of bee skeps. And even then it'll just take a bit more time to gather the needed amount.

The larvae neither "plentiful" nor "scarce", in my experience they're just the right amount. It takes time and effort (maybe even a few designated wild beehive-raiding walks in the woods) to build first few beeskips, then it's all a-ok. It's possible that OP was unlucky with larvae drops, and I was lucky; then again, although I feel satisfied and OP doesn't, overall the balance is fine.

@OP - don't rush things. If you start your plot with 50x50 flax field, you won't have enough beehives for a long time. Start small and expand when you gather more larvae.

From 20 bee skeps I get anywhere from 2 to 5 larvae. I often let my wax "build up" at least two wax before harvesting, so from ~30 harvests (usually about half build up two wax)

I get to build 5 or 6 skeps every two weeks or so. Not enough to upgrade my whole farm, just enough to replace some of the lower quality hives

Errm... I'm sorry did I miss an update where hive quality became relevant? if so, I apologize. I never noticed the difference, and our farm have beeskips 16 to 100+ quality.

the skep softcaps the wax and honey... at least it did. If it changed... I've not been doing the farming this world, but from what I can tell, it still holds. replacing an old q20 hive with a q50 gave a significant increase to the wax quality beyond what the crops went up.

Also, looks to be larvae come about 1:10 wax, and letting it build up doesn't seem to matter other than you're pulling more chances from your better hives, so as to increase the spiral jump a bit more.

still does

this, its easier to upgrade the quality with all other mats than the larvae and imho it should be the other way around o.0
