Description:

After researching beekeeping you can build a starter hive. If there are enough mature plants (growth>50%) around it and the weather is fine the hive will grow.
You will eventually notice a boost in the growth of the plants around it. And the hive will gather honey. The speed of both depend on the hive’s size.
A full size hive can double plants growth and with 100% mature plants yields 1 honey every 2 in-game hours!

Beware that if the weather gets worse (low temperature, long periods of rain or a toxic fallout) the hive will first consume their honey and then will shrink again.
Also a hive can get sick once in a while and needs tending in such a case to be able to be fully functional again.
You can place a hive indoors where it will not be affected by rain or toxic fallout.

Honey is a nice food product, just raw it is fun and safe to eat while also extremely long-lasting.

After researching mead brewing, you can build a mead fermenting barrel to ferment your honey into mead as an alternative to beer with very similar properties.

After researching propolis extraction, with each honey harvest there is a chance to get some propolis.
Propolis has antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, both preventive and curative. So a very powerful medicine you can almost get for free.
