A second queen has a chance to spawn in the hive if there is a minimum of 1 kg of honey.
Add Small padlock as locking option
''An enclosed structure in which some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young.''
== Notes ==* A '''bee hive''' is a created item used to attract nearby queen bees for them to migrate from a [[wild bee hive]]. == Creation ==* Requires 25 Bees produce [[fine carpentryhoney]] to create. == Products ==Bees will consume either honey or sugar approximately once every 5 real life days, with a preference for [[sugar]] (there which is a daily check with a 1-an ingredient in-5 chance of consuming 10g of honey or sugar). *If no honey or sugar is available, the bees have a chance to die off.*During the winter Wurm months, the hive will become "dormant" if a queen is present. During this time, the queen will still require food to stay alive. *A ''' bee hive''' produces [[honey]] and [[beeswax]] over timesome cooking recipes.**The amount produced is dependent on nearby flowers, fields, grass(including enchanted grass), steppe, bushes and trees.
***Flowers are the best in helping the production increase.
***[[Flowers]] and [[Enchanted enchanted grass]] provide a bigger boost to honey production during [[Time_of_WurmWurm Universe|Springspring]] and [[Time_of_WurmWurm Universe|Summersummer]].
**If surrounding tiles don't produce enough nectar to feed the bees, nothing is produced.
***Higher quality hives look at a larger area of tiles.
* Bees produce [[beeswax]], which is used in the creation of [[waxed paper]], [[wax sealing kit]]s, [[candles]], and [[skull cup]]s.
*The quality of honey and bees wax is the same as the hive quality.
* Bees significantly increase the yield of farm tiles
* Requires 25 [[fine carpentry]] to create.
* You cannot create a bee hive inside a building.
* Empty hives can be carried or loaded, once active they can only be loaded.
** Bees in a vehicle still require food.
** Loading an active hive will result in being stung, causing poison damage, unless a lit [[bee smoker]] is carried.
** 2 Bee hives can be loaded into a [[large cart]]
** 9 Bee hives can be loaded into a [[wagon]] without a [[rune]].
* Can be locked with a [[Small padlock|Small]] or [[Large padlock]].
** When locked, you can set [[permissions]] on it to allow or restrict access.
* Adding [[sugar]] does not affect a queen going into a hive faster.
** Bees will eat [[sugar]] before the [[honey]].
*Capacity: 20 beeswax, 1000+kg honey
* The range of a hive's influence is, at this time, thought to be approximately:
** 1ql - 2 tile radius
** 10ql - 4 tile radius
** 25ql - 6 tile radius
** 50ql - 8 tile radius
** 75ql - 10 tile radius
** 90ql - 10 tile radius
** 95ql - 11 tile radius
== Products ==
* Bees will consume either honey or sugar approximately once every 5 real life days, with a preference for [[sugar]] (there is a daily check with a 1-in-5 chance of consuming 10g of honey or sugar).
* If no honey or sugar is available, the bees have a chance to die off.
* During the winter Wurm months, the hive will become "dormant" if a queen is present. During this time, the queen will still require food to stay alive.
== Queens ==
* Empty - there is no queen in the hive.
* Noisy - the hive has two queens.
** A second queen has a chance to spawn in the hive if there is a minimum of 1 kg of honey.
* Active - the hive has one queen, and is active.
== Migration ==
=== Wild to domestic ===
* Bees can migrate to a domestic ''bee hive'' if certain conditions are met. There are also some things a player can do to increase the chances. * If a wild hive has '''one queen bee''', the domestic hive must be of a higher [[quality]] than the wild hive.*The higher the quality of the domestic hive, the higher the chance of migration.*The closer the domestic hive is to the wild hive, the higher the chance of migration.**The distance and quality of the domestic hive from the wild hive both combine to effect the odds that a migration will occur.
*The migration will bring the queen and the swarm to the domestic hive.
* If a wild hive has '''two queen bees''', the hive quality will not affect the chances of migration.** A domestic bee hive will have a higher chance of migration the closer it is to the wild hive.* The migration will bring the second queen to the domestic hive. If a wild hive's queen(s) have all migrated, the wild hive will be removed. * If a domestic bee hive had a queen residing before Wurm winter and becomes empty, they have a chance to repopulate in the spring
=== Domestic to domestic ===
* If a domestic hive is noisy, you can have the queen migrate to another domestic hive of any quality, with a higher chance of migration the closer the hives are together.
== Opening a Hive ==
[[File:Wildhiveopen.jpg|500px|thumb|left|Wild hive's contents]]
* When opening a hive, the bees can will sting you, dealing [[poison]] damage, unless you have a lit [[bee smoker]] or the hive is dormant. Repeated attempts to open an active hive without a smoker will result in additional wounds.**Note: When opening a hive with a lit bee smoker in the inventory, all produced [[honey]] and [[beeswax]] within the hive may be removed.**Bees will not sting passers by. == Notes ==*Empty hives can be carried or loaded, once active they can only be loaded.**Bees in a vehicle still require food.**Loading an active hive can result in being stung, causing poison damage, unless a lit [[bee smoker]] is carried.**9 Bee hives can be loaded into a [[wagon]] without a [[rune]].*Can be locked with a [[small padlock|small]] or [[large padlock]].**When locked, you can set [[permissions]] on it to allow or restrict access.*Adding [[Sugar]] does not affect a queen going into a hive faster.** Bees will eat [[Sugar]] before the [[Honey]].*Capacity: 20 beeswax.*The range of a hive's influence is, at this time, thought to be approximately:**1ql - 2 tile radius**10ql - 4 tile radius**25ql - 6 tile radius**50ql - 8 tile radius**75ql - 10 tile radius**90ql - 10 tile radius**95ql - 11 tile radius
