i learned you can generate a beehive by planting oak or birch saplings. i like the birch because i can harvest them easily and they look nice when i build a house. you can see it a long ways away. the first nest i had i read you were supposed to put a blanket over the fire to keep the smoke from the bees. that is a bad thing. first, it takes a while to get a beehive. the info said 5% chance when the sapling grows if it is within two meters of a flower. wrong. my experience says less than that on this game but maybe i am wrong. i must have planted 50 trees to get a hive and then destroy it on the first day. sad. then i tried for another one. my chest has many stacks of birch before i got my second beehive. this time i am not messing with the first hive. i had a beehive i created when i ruined the first one. i put it on another birch and then made bee babies and they went to the second hive. now i know how to get the wax to make new hives and lots of honey. that is a lot of fun succeeding playing hard survival trying to keep away from the creepers. chas
