Everyone says carrots, some say fill every area the beehive covers, some say certain sections of it, I'd say give it a try and find out, but carrots for sure, can harvest them very often.

Some say it produces best when there are lots of different plants planted.
I think your best bet would be to plant 60-70% of the area radius with carrots, and mix in a few various plants there.

I find raiding hermits works rather well.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

If he's in anything more than a shit village he could probably defend himself against one hermit.

God. 3-4 wax per day for harvesting 1600 crop tiles? That doesn't sound right to me unless you're growing pumpkins or something.
