Bees?

How about bees for our gardens?

We could get honey from hives for cooking.
If we annoy them they can stings us (negative mood).
And maybe they can pollinate/enhance gardening somehow.

(Please forgive me if this has already been mentioned - I have skimmed the forums but not read all the threads.)

  • It's been mentioned in passing somewhere but I'm glad to see it raised separately. I want bees and a hive for my yard. Bees who make lots of honey and pollinate(pet) my trees for me!

  • It would be nice to see things that we currently HAVE to buy from Groceries vendors (i.e. Honey, Olive Oil, Beer) turn into things that we could make at our homes.  Which would provide a different spin on the game for those times when I just wanna hang out by myself in my house.

  • Yes, I want bees. And if you don't treat 'em right, they will run off to someone else's apiary (as opposed to the sad pile of pork chops the pigs collapse into now).

  • I love the bees idea, particularly with honey collection incorporated :) I find myself needing honey a LOT and it's a pain to get to a grocery vendor and then have to use up tons of bag space since they only stack to 10. If I could have a hive in my house and collect honey there, I could safely dump inventory while harvesting and using loads of honey for food/drink-related tasks and seasoning eggs to make butterflies.

  • I spent a short amount of time looking for bees before I realized the grocer had the honey. Needless to say, I was disappointed. 

    Needs bees.

  • Bee are great. Have a friend who raises bees, travels them to pollinate clover fields in the area.

     Besides the bees, we could have hives we travel with to friends garden locations to help pollinate. That could make it more social. The more hives help you the more produce your plants made.

  • We could slather honey all over our Glitch faces and run around trying to attract wild bees to our homes.

    +1 covered in bees?

  • I want bees, and honey, and a skill to turn that honey into mead.
    Posted 20 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  •  Oooo, mead. And vikings boats!
    Posted 20 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would pay good credits for a bee suit. Not to make me look like a bee...to make me look like I am covered in bees.

  • If we dont have bees then perhaps we can get honey from Fireflies somehow? - straws clutching spring to mind.

  • If we can milk a butterfly and collect batterfly guano, heck yeah our fireflies should make honeycombs! And the Ur Underground is the perfect habitat. Good one, Herr Apfel.

  • Every time I see this thread, I think of Nicholas Cage vs. bees. 

    Back on topic, a wee apiarist outfit would be delightful to wear while harvesting honey. 
    Posted 20 months ago by leah Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm sure Bees! would approve. +1!

  • woo it got a +1 from stoot...that must be a good sign :D

  • I was going to start a thread asking about bees as well, but I'm glad to see it raised already. Bees!

  • +1 Bees, and little things moving/crawling in general. Need to see some (dynamic) life in the trees, skittering behind rocks, burrowing under the ground. In the heights, marmots and chipmunks. Flocks of birds in the distance. Perhaps there's an annual migration of something from one part of the world to another.
    Posted 18 months ago by Hands Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I want those awesome lizards in Shimla Mirch to skitter around. And the glow-worms in Uralia to wriggle. I suspect that more dynamic environments would slow the game substantially, but it would make mining SO much more fun! p.s. I saw beehives a while back before the devs hid their works-in-progress from our prying beady eyes! I hope they are on the way fairly soon...

  • Bees! Bees everywhere! Bees in hats! Military hats!

    That's what a bubble tree told me, anyway.

  • Lelu that's hilarious! I can't believe I've never seen Eddie Izzard's comedy before!
    Posted 18 months ago by FrankenPaula Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yes, bees please!

    i also like the idea of olive trees which can produce olives which can be pressed for oil.

    and it would be sweet to be able to grow mushrooms in dark patches.

  • @ Lelu: I'm a huge Eddie Izzard fan! Thanks for the giggle!

  • Totally awesome idea, and the Eddie Izzard link just made it that much better.
    Posted 18 months ago by arcturus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • like.. although honey is really really essential to a lot, needed for many recipes.

    So it'd better not be super hard... / expensive...
    balance...

  • I want bees too! I hate having to keep a constant stash in the cabinet, and always being worried of running out. Plus, I think there can bee a hive somewhere, where you go on a mini quest (like the firefly whistle) to find out how to attract bees to your garden, like attracting fireflies.

  • RL beekeeper here.  This should happen. 
    Making the woodenware and frames can be a woodworking quest.
