How do I make my beehives give me more honey and beeswax?
we currently have around 4 Beehives, but only 1 rarely does any work xD and only gives us somewhat 0.1 litres of Honey in the first place?

Re: Beehives/Honey/Wax
For good honey/wax you basically want the green circle that shows up when you plan it jammed full of crops, I think they hold like 1 L of honey max at a time though, so drain often if you need lots. As above only 1 beehive per that radius.

Most things in wiki are best taken with a grain of salt in my experience.LuisGherner wrote:oh snap. Thanks for that, I shall now move them XD. but I swear on the wiki it sais about the crops growing slowly with only 1 beehive

Re: Beehives/Honey/Wax
they produce honey and wax when there are plants growing, not when the plants are harvestable, so you want a high turnover. harvest and replant a lot and don't let them sit in harvestable stage for a long time. and like pyre said, jam that circle full of crops.

Re: Beehives/Honey/Wax
If you're really just out for the honey and wax, plant carrots around the hive. They grow so ridiculously fast that you will get more than enough wax/honey if you harvest and replant them as soon as they're ready every time.
