The hive can be worked a maximum of 16 times. Every subsequent hammer blow after the 4th has a chance of spawning the queen increasing linearly from 8% to 80%. Once the hive has been hammered it takes 120 seconds (4 time segments) to regenerate the first hit and 30 seconds (1 time segment) for every additional hit (regardless of player proximity, ie. whether the entity is asleep or awake). The first hit has a 50% chance to drop honey and 1% chance to drop a honeycomb but these odds drop with every subsequent blow (about -3% for honey and -0.06% for honeycomb).
