Bees search for flowers in a seven block range, in all directions. To reach a large population, bees need [5+3X] flowers, where X is the number of other skeps within their search range. Well fed populations of bees will split to fill additional empty skeps | Bees search for flowers in a seven block range, in all directions.

As the population of the original skep grows, the bees will divide to populate nearby empty skeps placed within 7 blocks of a filled skep by the same process that bees are captured from a wild hive. | ||

Populations of bees will hibernate (stop swarming or producing honeycombs) at 0°C. Once the temperature reaches -10°C, all bee-related timers (swarm and production) will reset, and will only resume until the temperature rises above 0°C. | Populations of bees will hibernate (stop swarming or producing honeycombs) at 0°C.
