link to honey and sugar
* A bee hive is a created item used to attract nearby queen bees to migrate from a [[wild bee hive]].
* Bees produce [[honey]], which is an ingredient in some 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 grass]] provide a bigger boost to honey production during [[Wurm Universe|spring]] and [[Wurm Universe|summer]].
* 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 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 [[large 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.
== 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.
== Opening a Hive ==

* 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.
