Manage Honey Production Without Guessing
Monitor Hive Status Before Harvesting
To harvest honey efficiently, right-click your beehive or bee nest to see:
- Current bee population
- How long bees have been inside (indicating honey production progress)
- Individual bee ages
Plan Your Harvest
Use this data to decide your next action:
- Full hive with mature bees: Safe to harvest honey; bees have had time to produce
- Young bees: They're still developing; give them time before harvesting
Avoid Bee Loss
By checking hive status first, you can harvest honey strategically without accidentally destroying a hive full of productive bees. This mod removes the need to break the hive to see what's inside, keeping your bee population stable and your honey production consistent.
