You sure they have to be "hiveless" bees? I'm pretty sure that my beebox (OK technically not a hive but acts ALMOST exactly like one, albeit less bees, different regen times and different spawn rates) still managed to "pollinate" a bunch of flowers (i.e. create more flowers). Although that may have been an earlier build (things may have changed?), or it could have just been a coincidence (with other non-hive bees around).

I think it's also something to do with how close the flowers are together, as AFAIK (independent of the above) flowers have a minimum distance to spawn.

Note that butterflys are also technically "pollinators" but I'm not sure if they actually get to pollinate anything. My guess is they MIGHT if there aren't enough flowers in the area AND not too many butterflys.

Either way, I've never actually seen a flower get spawned in front of me - can that happen or is it always off-screen?
