so, lad, you want a trick for collecting bees, huh?

there's two single tricks that may help you (or whoever watch this) in bee-catching:

1) the easy way: is in spring, because in bee boxes, beehives, and EVEN bee mines spawn 6 bees. you just need a grass suit, a bee hat (equip the grass suit first) and obviously the bugs net... of course, wild bees on beehives are quite complicated to catch... but still spawning more bees than usual... with beeboxes do it at dusk, when all bees are inside and there's honey to collect. all NORMAL BEES will go out and attack you, making a perfect moment to catch them (if all 4 bees are outside... no single killer bee will spawn from the box). in a wild hive do it on day, and be prepared to run!



2) the second trick is a "bee farm" i discovered (or at least i hope), and more complicated: needs a torch & something flamable OR a fire dart OR a fire staff (better option) AND an ice staff, or a flingomatic, or (not recommended, but still works) ice/luxury fan. you need something to produce fire and something to extinguish it inmediatly.

if is a wild hive/beebox, you burn it with the firey items forementioned, and all the bees inside (not killer bees... unless is a wasp hive) will go outside HOMELESS (yes, the hive later start producing more bees). is best to do it at dusk/night, time when all bees are inside, and all will become homeless after the fire (better at night, 'coz all go to sleep and is less risky to catch 'em). INMEDIATLY after provoque the fire, you extinguish  the flaminghive/box, so it doesn't burn and still be functional (the flingomatic is THE BEST option, because the beehives take 8/10 seconds to burn, enough time for it to douse the flames)

do this every 2-3 days for max bee production...EVEN you can plant flower FAR AWAY the beebox, and everytime you burn and extinguish it, all those 4 homeless bees will pollinate the flowers (and evil flowers) without the need of a net.



use it with caution, and DO NOT PUT more than four beeboxes close to eachother if you want to make a bee-farm. because more beeboxes=more difficult to control the fire=burnt unfunctional beebox.
