Re: Why Wont My Beehive Make Wax?
Honey and wax - just random. Just replant your fields around beehive. Wax and honey generate only when plants growing.Long-Gone wrote:as the title suggests, my beehive makes honey, but not wax. i have a big farm in its radius. but it refuses to let me get any.

You know it or you just think that if beehive full of honey it will 100% generate wax at successful ticks?bitza wrote:don't harvest the honey and keep farming

i know that if i don't collect the honey i can consistently generate 2-3 wax off one beehive per farm session

2-3 wax form beehive. But area of this beehive fully planted by growing plants? If so, then I get 2-3 wax and some honey from such beehive.bitza wrote:i know that if i don't collect the honey i can consistently generate 2-3 wax off one beehive per farm session
I don't think that if beehive is full of honey then chance honey/wax changing. I think that chance is same, but excess honey just gone.

I got 5 wax from a behive just now. The honey hasn't been harvested in 2-3 days and the only plants growing in it's radius is a 17x20 field of wheat. maybe wax quantity is random?

Re: Why Wont My Beehive Make Wax?
for the beehive give beewax , you need a field ( 10x10 ) with carrots ! only carrots . in 1 day you get 2-5 beewax , just plant carrots .
if you make a circle with carrots in a day you get 3 - 13 beewax

Re: Why Wont My Beehive Make Wax?
Every time a crop grows a bit, or even while you're simply planting new crops in the radius of a beehive there is a chance for wax and honey to be produced.
If you need wax bad, plant a fast growing crop such as carrots or beetroot and farm them whenever they are ready to be harvested, rinse and repeat.
