Isolated beehive do not resets quality of products
I think this is a severe (game mechanics) bug, as it can be quite exploitable: the hive which is "charged" on high-q crops and then placed in a basement or wherever, will keep producing high-q wax and honey until the end of times. Very slowly, at base rate, but, as we all know, "slow" processes in H&H just need to be run 1000 times in parallel.

It's a feature.
This is why we can't have anything fun.

It's nice, and yes, if you were to make enough houses or have a large enough underground area for a 1000 hives, sure, have all the high grade honey you want, or you can keep raising your farm product quality, get better hives, and keep raising the quality of your honey and wax.
I don't see a huge issue as this is why it is so slow to naturally produce wax and honey. It'd be reasonable to turn off production while the hive is where it can't feed (cellars, indoors, caves), but bees are a lot like flies in that they'll figure a way through walls to eat. Would also be reasonable to treat the hives like the cattle. If you don't feed them regularly, they eat the naturally occurring q10 stuff. However, given people do keep raising crop quality, and thus honey and wax, are these changes necessary other than from an immersion perspective?
Now, I was impressed with the large scale chicken coop farm to produce golden eggs in w6, I think it was.

Surely it is very nice from the resourceful player's perspective. And yet this is clearly not intended behaviour, I would dare to bet on this case.

I'd say it's not the Q reset, but the fact that bees can make honey out of rocks that's the issue.
