== Description ==
''A structure, built into a tree, in which some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young.''
A '''wild bee hive''' is a randomly spawned item that appears on the side of [[tree]]s. They appear in the spring, and vanish at the end of the [[time of wurm|Wurm year]], in autumn and winter.
When a player is in the vicinity of a hive, a message in the event window will indicate so.
::{{event|inline|You hear bees, maybe you are getting close to a hive.}}
::{{event|inline|The bees noise is getting louder, maybe you are getting closer to their hive.}}
There is also a message when the player leaves the vicinity.
::{{event|inline|The sounds of bees decreases as you move further away from the hive.}}
::{{event|inline|The sounds of bees disappears in the distance.}}
== Locations ==
[[File:Wildbeehive.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Wild hive on a branch]]
'''Wild bee hives''' are spawned in different locations each year.
*They are found on the side of trees (except on fruit, chestnut, or walnut trees)
'''Wild bee hives''' will not spawn...
*Next to structures
*Close to existing hives
== Products ==
*A '''wild bee hive''' produces [[honey]] and [[bees wax]] over time.
**The amount produced is dependent on nearby flowers, fields, and trees.
***Flowers are the best in helping the production increase.
**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.
*The quality of honey and bees wax is the same as the hive quality.
== Queens ==
A '''wild bee hive''' is spawned containing one queen bee.
*A second queen bee can appear in the hive once every Wurm month.
**There must be a minimum amount of 2 kg of honey in the hive for a new queen to arrive.
A wild hive with two queen bees has a chance to migrate to a domestic hive.
The wild hive may have an attached descriptor to their name when you hover over it, which gives a clue to the status:
* Dormant (domestic bee hive only) - this shows in the winter only. This means the hive has one queen, and will reactivate in the spring.
* Empty - there is no queen in the hive.
* Noisy - the hive has two queens.
* Active - the hive has one queen, and is active.
== Migration ==
Bees can migrate do 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.
== Opening a Hive ==
[[File:Wildhiveopen.jpg|500px|thumb|left|Wild hive's contents]]
When opening a hive, the bees can sting you, dealing poison damage, unless you have a lit [[bee smoker]].
*Note: When opening a hive with a lit bee smoker in the inventory, all produced honey and bees wax within the hive has a chance to be removed.
*Bees will not sting passers by.
*Bees will sting players attempting to cut down the tree containing their wild hive (unless they carry a lit bee smoker in their inventory).
**Note: the hive will be destroyed if their tree is cut down.
