Re: New curio from beehive
I have frequently desired for it to be necessary to locate wild hives to find queens to start hives in a village, and then to have to manage and grow those hives from wild bees and queens produced there. This would also likely produce another trade item in High-Quality Hive Queens.Blueberry wrote:Well hives produce new queens to make new hives. Those could be a curiosity.

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

maybe make wild bees attached to trees or sometimes found in long/tree trunks!

Re: New curio from beehive
I meant I know how real bees function. I am not a programmer.
Bees typically did reside in hollow structures such wood trunks etc in them more temperate regions of Eurasia.
Wild "hives" could perhaps be harvested either in a tree trunk or as a free formed swarm.
Edit:
Catching a swarm to put it in a skep would be pretty easy as long as you find the queen. Getting the bees out of a trunk would be very messy, and maybe best to leave it in place and
harvest it for the honey/wax and destroying it in the process. The old skeps were destroyed during harvesting. Relocating the queen and some of the bees to a new skep would create a new functioning skep/hive.
