To increase the population, | Place an [[Cattails_(Reeds)|empty skep]] '''within seven blocks''' of the wild beehive. If there are no flowers near the wild hive, the population will not increase enough to swarm. To increase the population, bees require at least five [[Flowers]] within seven blocks of the wild hive. Bees must explore their area to locate and feed on any newly placed flowers, but they will find these flowers over time.<br> | ||
The more flowers you place, the faster the process will go - for example, playing 100 flowers into the seven blocks vicinity, and the swarming will only take about three ingame hours. Note that this does not include the time the bees need to recognize the flowers! You can check by hovering over the hive to see if they found them. | |||

There is always a chance that breaking the skep will spawn an [[Bees|angry bee swarm]]. One technique to avoid attacks from the angry swarm is to place [[Dry grass|straw dummies]] near the hives so the bees attack the decoys instead of players. If a player remains in the area of an angry swarm, bees may still attack even if a straw dummy is present. Also, make sure the skeps are not placed near animal pens, as angry bees will attack any nearby living thing, including the animals players are currently domesticating. | ||
