Hey.

I had a question about the bee skep and fruit growing, I put a skep with 9 drones inside and planted a tree next to it. However my skep indicates Workers=0. Do I need a queen inside for them to start working? I also put a Butterfly Consrvatory next to the skep so as to try to get the most pollenization possible. The tree doesn't seem to grow unless it grows very very slowly.

Queen + at least 2 drones will result in worker bees.

Lots of downtime lately, 1 calendar day does not equal 24 hours in game right now

Thanks for the answer. So what you mean is that my skep is useless unless I got a queen?

Indeed.

i got a skep with 1 queen and 2 drones

still 0 worker bees after 2 calendar days
why?

i have one with a queen and ~10 drones, it spawned a drone today and it's now up to ~1250 worker bees.

i have 1 queen and 16 drones, 250 workers in 10 hours, but no honey. I don't have any trees close to it, hopefully i there's no need of a tree for honey production since i need the wax for knife and cant spend silver in fruits right now.

many queens & many drones here.

Last time I checked yesterday my best skep had over 2000 workers & spawned a couple drones extra

Out of curiosity, how much time on average it took you to find 1 queen? I made a 40 minutes trip yesterday and got only 1 drone, no queens. But then I was foraging everything (for the 7 inspirationals), not only flowers.

14 drones, 12+ 7th insirationals, hours of foraging and still no queen. I h8 fact that i dont have one but in same time i re'learned significance of foraging.
