Build a beehive in Raft and farm honey with it

How do I build and use a beehive properly? Once you have collected your 15 bee jars, you can start building your own hive. To start building on your raft, you will need 20 wooden planks, 8x plastic pieces, 4x pieces of clay and 2x hinges in addition to the multiple jars of bees. Now place the hive near a growing area that you have previously planted with flowers so that the bees can start working.

Depending on how many flowers are in the growing area, the bees will produce a certain amount of honeycomb. You need to water the flowers so that the bees collect their pollen, but the size and color of the flowers does not matter for honey production. You get the following number of honeycombs per eight minutes of play, depending on the number of flowers:

  • 3 to 5 flowers: one comb
  • 6 to 11 flowers: two combs
  • 12 or more flowers: three combs
