1. pre-plow a circle the size of the range of a beehive (you surely have seen remnants of them when travelling)
2. build a fresh hive on the paved tile in the middle
3. quickly plant hq carrots on all tiles of the circle
4. pick honey/wax from the hive as soon as available
5. when carrots are all stage 4: harvest the field, destroy the hive, goto 1

Do not leave the area or logout, this will reset the beehive to q100.

You do not need to destroy the hive, just move it out of the area where there will be any planting going on. (Make sure its radius doesn't touch where you plant) Putting the hive in a container doesn't work, it must be away from the planting.

Step 3. As far as i know the idea is planting everything and then place or build the beehive in the middle b4 the carrots reach the first stage. So if I'm not wrong step 2 and 3 should be 3 and 2.

Also, if im not wrong again u need a character standing there, where the beehive is in order to avoid it to reset and get shitty and low qualities. ITs a bit buggy,

Could be, it's been a while.

I guess this covered that point:

This ^

Make an alt and just have it stand there 24/7. It does work.

Why does the hive need to be fresh? Why do I need to harvest asap? Why must I destroy the hive? Also, when a hive finishes an update and generates its stuff, does its stored resources stack with the next update, or does it not do anything?
