Bees search for flowers in a range of seven blocks in both directions. To reach a large population, bees need [5+3X] flowers, where X is the number of other skeps within range. Well fed populations of bees can be split to fill additional skeps, or harvested when mature. | Bees search for flowers in a range of seven blocks in both directions.

Additional skeps can be filled from the original, allowing players to increase the number of skeps available for harvesting. Bees transfer to empty skeps placed within 7 blocks of a filled skep, as capturing bees from a wild hive. As the population of the original skep grows, the bees will divide to populate nearby empty skep. | Additional skeps can be filled from the original, allowing players to increase the number of skeps available for harvesting.

==== Optimized Skep Layout ==== | |||
The simplest layout for ensuring each skep has enough flowers is to place skeps 2 tiles apart and surround them with flowers. This pattern can be repeated indefinitely and each skep will have enough flowers to reach a large population. | |||
