Gigantic field of carrots with beehives and optionally food troughs there...

But I plant hemp... for reasons...

1 skep/50 tiles of carrots planted.

Oh, and if you don't care about quality, just build a hundred skeps and let them passively generate wax. You get about 1 wax per week and a bit of honey just from "wild pollination"

MagicManICT : Does this still work in World 10? I did the same thing and I don't seem to get wax...

[DougRatmen]

Yeah, big field of good ole carrots or other flowering crops, and a good amount of wax rolls in!

Personally I love Hemp fields, for, err, fiber reasons, totally

Carrots are neat too for foods, but they can take some effort to replant depending on which sage you harvest.

Then theres also pumpkins, but those take forever and are quite the hassle!

Yeah, but if the skeps aren't pollinating, then you get q10 wax and honey. It's about 1/week. I'm not sure on specific time.

Yeah, as other says, giant field with 1 beehive each 7x7 tiles would be ok

1 skep/50 tiles of carrots planted.

Thought it was more like 25 tiles for carrots/beets

Either way, don't make the mistake I did and not realize bee skeps had limited "ticks" and assume one hive would supply a giant field of carrots the diameter of the hive lol. Just build a ton of em

Maybe it is. It's been a while since I looked it up and I don't grow large fields like that as I don't keep that much livestock around.

Ever seen those big circles of carrots?

That's the best way if you just want a ton of wax
