Beekeeping
🐝 Get ready to have some new friends buzzing around your Island, as '''Bees''' are making their way to Cosmic Sky!

=How Beekeeping Works=
The Beekeeping system introduces plenty of island-based content surrounding Bees, such as:
* Upgradable '''Bee Hives''' & '''Queen Bees'''
* '''Electric Bee Hives''' – powered hives with enhanced crop growth
* Bee Larvae incubation
* Tiered Worker Bees
* Buffed crop growth for crops within range of your Bees
* Tiered '''Pollen'''
* Distilling '''Honeycomb''' into Tiered '''Honey Bottles'''
* And more!

=Starting your Beekeeping Journey=
To begin, you will first need to craft a '''Bee Hive'''!
* Bee Hives are crafted using '''8x Empty Honeycomb''' in a Crafting Bench (same shape as a Chest).

'''Hover Over the Crafting GUI to see What Items to Craft With!'''
* '''Empty Honeycomb''' can be obtained via:
** '''/quest''' rewards
** Destroying '''Bee Nests''' that spawn when an Oak Sapling grows with Flowers nearby
* When placed on your Island, each Bee Hive begins with a Level 1 '''Queen Bee''' and a Basic Worker Bee.

'''Worker Bees''' will:
* Leave the hive to forage after resting
* Travel to nearby ungrown crops, spreading '''pollen''' to fully grow crops
* Deposit collected Pollen into the hive before entering a Rest period

=Electric Bee Hives=



'''Electric Bee Hives''' are a powered variant of Bee Hives that provide enhanced crop growth capabilities.

'''Obtaining:'''
 Electric Bee Hives are obtainable in the following Loottables:
* [[Demonic_Realm|Demonic Realm]]
* [[The Abyss|Abyss]]
* Iron+ [[The Facility|Facility]]

'''Requirements:'''
* [[Island Upgrades|Automation Tier 1]] upgrade
* Must be connected to [[Electricity]]

'''Electricity Stats:'''
{| class="wikitable" style="width:50%;"
! Stat !! Value
|-
|| Max Input || 50,000 watts
|-
|| Storage Buffer || 500,000 watts
|}

'''Features:'''
* Enables '''2x2 Bee Growth''' – Bees can grow crops in a 2x2 area instead of 1x1
* Must have a '''5 block gap''' between Electric Bee Hives
* Functions like a normal Bee Hive when powered

=Bee Larvae & Incubation=
To expand your Beekeeping empire, you'll need '''Bee Larvae'''.
* Obtained from '''/quest rewards''' or by breaking '''Bee Nests'''
* Place Larvae in a Hive to begin a '''15-minute incubation process'''
* Once ready, transform Larvae into a Worker Bee using:
** 1x Empty Honeycomb
** 10x '''Pollen''' (highest tier stored in the Hive)
* Transformation creates a random tier Bee from '''Basic → Mythic'''
* Using higher-tier Pollen increases the chance of stronger Bees

=All About Your Bees=
[[File:Bee Hive.png|400px|right|link=]]
Each Bee has unique '''Traits''' that define its strength:
* Max Forage Time
* Forage Speed
* Forage Distance
* Max Forage per Trip
* Rest Time

When Larvae become Worker Bees:
* They roll between '''Basic → Mythic''' rarities
* Higher tier Bees = better Traits
* Basic Bees always have fixed base Traits

Each Hive:
* Starts with 1x Basic Worker Bee
* Can have more Bees added manually (up to slot capacity)
* Bees follow a cycle of Foraging → Resting, automatically gathering '''Pollen'''

=🌼 Pollen Collection and Uses=
As Bees work, your Hive fills with '''Pollen'''. This can be used for:

'''Filling Honeycomb'''
* Empty Honeycomb inside the Hive combines with Pollen to form '''Filled Honeycomb'''
* Uses:
** Feed to your Queen Bee for Hive EXP
*** Higher-tier Honeycomb = more EXP
** Extract and refine into Honey Bottles

=Honey Distilling=
[[File:Honey Distiller.png|500px|right|link=]]
* Place Filled Honeycomb into a '''Honey Distiller''' (purchasable in '''/shop''' for $100,000)
* Each Honeycomb → 1x Honey Bottle (60s process, matching tier)
* Honey Bottles can be:
** Sold in '''/shop'''
** Used in custom recipes

=Bee Juicer=
The '''Bee Juicer''' is a new Custom Block that can be placed on your Island.
It converts Worker Bees into '''Empty Honeycomb''' with a chance to produce a '''Bee Larvae'''!

The higher the tier of Bee you place into the Juicer, the more Honeycomb you'll receive and the higher the chance of a Larvae dropping:

* '''Basic Bee:''' 1x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
* '''Elite Bee:''' 2x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
* '''Legendary Bee:''' 3x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
* '''Godly Bee:''' 4x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
* '''Heroic Bee:''' 5x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
* '''Mythic Bee:''' 6x Empty Honeycomb + increased chance for Larvae
