Bees question

You can also collect swarms from the bee box and release them near plants that are outside the radius of the 5 grids. The released bees will pollinate the plants they are released near.

If I use a bee box, I will only use one then I use the bee swarm to pollinate the plants that are outside the grid of the bee box.

Do the bees go back to their box, no matter where it is located?

Another swarm is available to collect from the bee box after some time passes. The bees that are released to pollinate plants leave the lot and pollinate any nearby wild plants. You'll never empty the bee box, there will always be bees in the bee box. Also the bees that leave the bee box to pollinate plants on their own, don't return to the bee box, they disappear.

Eta, I always put my bee box inside a greenhouse. I think but I'm not sure that in the winter the bees go dormant if placed outside.

@DragonAge_300905 yes, bees do go dormant in winter. They're also less active in fall.

Thank you, I didn't know about fall. I just know that bees in rl go dormant in winter.

My bees are always irritated and enraged. Any idea why ?

Could be they have mites & need treatment?

You keep taking all their honey? In my experience, once the bees are calm they stay calm unless they have mites, or you collect honey, or you collect swarms. I have the beehives mostly to help improve plants, so I leave them alone most of the time.

My relationship is full green bar with them. And it seems I have to treat the mites problem every day !!! Yea I do grab honey off them but aren’t they supposed to give me honey ?

I didn't say you can't collect the honey. I just answered your question about what's making them irritated with my best guess. It's up to you whether you want to keep getting stung.
