Hives are marked as having either Outdoor or No outdoor access this is referring to the above ground and subterranean attributes, not the outside and inside attributes. Subterranean hives can still store colonies that can be used later for splitting, but they cannot produce anything. In order for hives to produce, they must be built adjacent to (or on) an above ground tile. They can be built on any hard surface, both indoors and outdoors. They can be built by opening the building menu and either selecting Hive or pressing Alt + h. Hives are stored in finished goods stockpiles. They can be made in a variety of hard materials from their respective workshops and labors. Main article: Hive Workshop and labor requirements Occasionally check the hive for live bees by viewing the building with t from the menu. Beekeepers will immediately be able to find an accessible honey bee colony that may have gone unnoticed or spawned inconspicuously. If a colony cannot be found after searching, set up a single hive and leave it for about a year as a last-ditch effort. Building dirt roads over existing colonies frees up space for new ones to generate. Therefore, honey bee colonies might be unable to spawn because the "space" is occupied by other vermin colonies. If new colonies stop appearing, it means this limit has been reached. Maps have a hard limit to how many wild colonies can appear simultaneously. Colonies of honey bees appear randomly on the surface ground as a circle ○ (the color is determined by the floor tile). Honey bees are one of the creatures, which includes bumblebees, ants, and termites. They do possess their own version of honey, royal jelly, wax, and even mead, all of which are unobtainable in normal gameplay. While they are common in places they appear ( ), bees are not, thus are not guaranteed to appear in every region.īumblebees cannot be used in beekeeping. Colonies of honey bees can appear in any non-freezing land biome, which excludes mountains, glaciers, and tundras. Since live vermin cannot be bought during embark, wild bees are necessary to start beekeeping. i purged all my jugs in lava because i could not get rid of the jelly itself was funny to see over 100 jugs boil with jelly but i build it so i could get them later with 2 floodgates. Yes you will get constant spam about jobs being cancelled because of lack of containers. Yes, the jugs get filled with one item and don't get store in food stockpiles meaning your cooks will likely ignore them. Yes, mead production is currently a mess.

#Dwarf fortress dump honey full
Originally posted by Helios:if it was not problematic enough to start it at all if found out that royal bee jelly just stays inside jugs and is not moved to a barrel at all like other liquid and they dont use the jug to harvest new honey of course so i am making an atempt they use it up for cooking making a stockpile just for jelly close to the kitchen and forbid it in all other also diabling all tallow and alcohol for cooking hope it works at moment i have over 130 jugs full with 1 jelly.
