    Important Information

      • Apiaries do not function if no flowers are near them. (80 block range.) On most grassy planets, you'll automatically be in range of some.
      • The first 2 slots in an apiary on the input sections are for a queen and drones, in either order.
      • More Flowers = More power. (Faster production.)
      • More Drones = More power. (Faster production.)
      • When breeding, queens do not spawn in the apiary. They fly out. You need to catch them with the bug net.
      • Many items are gained through placing combs in a centrifuge.
      • Honey can be jarred by placing the Industrial Centrifuge next to the Honey Jarring Machine. Place empty jars in the Jarring Machine, and combs in the centrifuge. The centrifuge will pump the honey over. There is no drawback to using these machines, only benefits.
      • Radioactive Bees require a uranium frame to be bred.
      • Three types of bees will sting. The bee suit prevents the damage.
      • Honey related consumables heal separately from bandages. They heal very slowly but last a while, perfect for that long mission.
