Beekeeping allows you to produce honeycomb in your own home, using an
apiary bolted to a pasture (no skill is required). Bees and hives can be
found while foraging in forests, woods, or trees. Beekeeping requires a
handcrafted apiary and 1 hive, 1 queen bee, and 10 worker bees to colonize
it with the command 'colonize <apiary>'. Once colonized, the bees in the
apiary slowly produce golden honeycombs over time (6 per day). You can
collect the honeycomb at any time with the command 'harvest <apiary>'. If
the queen's wings are not clipped after colonizing the apiary, there is a
chance she will fly away over time. Over time, the bees may retire. When
this happens, the apiary will need a new queen, fresh workers, and a new
hive to continue producing honey. You can check the status of your apiary
with the command 'look apiary'. A few apiaries are located around the game
and each player home is limited to having one. The command 'apiary list'
lists the apiaries you're currently colonizing and where to find them, along
with each one's status and honeycomb count.
