Legacy talk:Bee Hive

Perhaps we should add the following; Bee hives work on maturing plants. Every time a plant goes to the next stage, the beehive has a chance to produce something. I haven't checked this, but better-versed people on IRC told me. It seems to hold true; abandoned farms which have fully matured crops do not generate any new honey/wax. I've also seen reports of pumpkins giving not much honey/wax. (pumpkins grow very slow) Apart from that, it was said that you should leave the honey/wax in the hive, and it will accumulate its quality up to its limit. If you take it out too fast, it will be of low quality.

Should this info be added? Mqrius 00:07, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Multiple Beehives: There seems to be a limit to how many crops a beehive will pollinate in a given time. This is in relation to some (old, world3) observed results when using only a single beehive on a full field with fast growing crops. --MvGulik 07:58, 10 February 2011 (CST)

hive quality ifnormation

I moved this here from the main page as Loftar has stated on IRC that hive quality doesn't matter in quality of honey and wax production, only the quality of crops the bees feed on.

"The quality of the products is related to the crop quality, and capped by the hive quality. It's also worth noting that honey/wax quality starts off below the crop/hive cap and slowly increases to it over time.

Best current estimate of Bee Hive Q formula = (2*Straw Q + Block Q + Board Q)/4."

As far as I'm concerned, it can be completely deleted.
