== Description ==
''An enclosed structure in which some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young.''
A '''bee hive''' is a created item used to attract nearby queen bees for them to migrate from a [[wild bee hive]].
== 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.
*A ''' 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 ==
The bee hive may have an attached descriptor to its name when you hover over it, which tells you the status:
* Dormant - 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.
If a domestic bee hive had a queen residing before Wurm winter and becomes empty, they have a chance to repopulate in the spring
== 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.
== Notes ==
*Can be loaded, even with bees present within.
**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.
