Beekeeping: Difference between revisions

Once you have found bees you'll want to place an [[Crafting_Recipes#Food_.2F_Resources|empty skep]] within seven blocks of the bees. Also makes sure there are five flowers also within seven blocks of the wild hive. If you press B for block info it'll tell you the size of the hive and number of flower in range, though it takes some time to find the flowers. The hive must be large before it will divide and populate the skep. This takes awhile, so it's best to go do other stuff while this is going on. Once populated you can pick up the skep by making sure you have an empty bag slot on the bottom right of your screen and then right-click the skep. Don't break the skep unless you want to be attacked by angry bees. When you pick the skep up it'll go into your empty bag slot. Now you can carry it back home. When back home, to place the populated skep, select it by holding down Ctrl and scrolling with your mouse wheel until you have it selected. Once selected right click where you want to place the populated skep. At this point, you'll want to place empty skeps by the populated skep and make sure there are lots of flowers close by. Over time the populated skep with grow in size and divide to populate a nearby empty skep.
