Use
This type of Beehive does not attract a queen the same way as a Simple Beehive does. It needs to have a Queen Bee placed in it to start producing. Checking the beehive for wax, honey starts a focus timer.
Placement/Queen Flees
When you check the hive, you may notice there were bees, but you also get the message, "It looks like the Queen Bee has died or fled the Hive. Probably due to the nearby conditions." In this case, look in Main for additional information:
| Message | Inferred Meaning |
|---|---|
| Hmm, It looks dry around here | Need water nearby |
| Hmm, The vegetation nearby is quite sparse | (hive was built in desert) |
| Hmm, You see other Beehives in nearby, perhaps the competition is too great? | Other hives too close. (40 coordinates is too close, not sure what is safe). |
A Queen will also flee if the hive is not checked for too long (Medium 5 Duck Days, Large 10 Duck Days)
