Re: Wax
I don't think anyone fully understands how wax quality works. From what i gather though, the quality gets permanently lowered in the beehive if it goes extended times without anything growing in it's radius. The quality on the wax also seems to be capped by the quality of the honey in the beehive from what i can tell. Also, no matter what quality your crops are, the wax has to work it's way up to it's max quality over a few growth stages.
I'm not 100% sure on some of that, but hopefully it gives you some ideas. Maybe someone who knows more about it can come in and correct me, as i'm curious about wax quality myself

Re: Wax
Do the crops growing near the hive have to be sprouting In other words, if the full hive radius is filled with plants but the plants are mature, will the hive continue to produce honey and/or wax?

Re: Wax
Sprouting. Fully grown crops will not develop further honey or wax.jesi wrote:Do the crops growing near the hive have to be sprouting In other words, if the full hive radius is filled with plants but the plants are mature, will the hive continue to produce honey and/or wax?

Re: Wax
You don't even need a few days. If you wait that long, the quality will invariably drop by at least half, and if you're already under q30 or so, it will be back at q10. Just being a few hours too long can mean your wax and honey drop 5 points or more.Halagaz wrote:Few days without gathering/replanting and you'll see the quality go down.

See the thing is though, that doesn't always work. Using my own beehive as an exampleHalagaz wrote:Just replant you fields and gather your wax regularly as it is made by the bees and it will go up, and you need to replant and not wait too much.

The wax was always harvested when it was ready to be harvested,
and general crops were planted around it and harvested regularly.
