Apiary Operation

Adding Bees

Put filled Productive Bees cages into the Bee Box. Each cage is one bee, and the apiary runs it right there, so no bees ever fly off.

Take a bee back out by clicking its slot with an empty cage.

Giving Flowers

Most bees need a certain flower or block to work. Put what they want into the Flower Box.

If a bee's flower is missing it simply waits, and starts again the moment you add one.

Producing

Each bee takes a little while to make its product. A green bar on its slot shows how far along it is.

Add Speed upgrades to the Controller to make them work faster.

Collecting

Everything the bees make drops into the Storage. Pull it out by hand, or with hoppers and pipes.

If the Storage fills up, the bees just pause until there is room again - nothing is ever lost.

Automation

Hoppers, pipes, and similar can feed the Bee and Flower boxes and empty the Storage, so the whole apiary can run on its own.
