You normally get your hives around 40 humors and at this point you don't need to have many of them at the same time. 1-4 should be enough.
You also don't need to check them more that once or twice per day.
Not sure if severity of sting depends on number of bees or other things, but I experienced stings worth around 4 blood. That is something new players should be able to handle at the point when they get beekeeping skill and queen bees.
Thank you for your input, I was wondering because I thought that this balancing subject might come up in this topic.
(BTW) I'm positive that my main had 20-ish humors when he first started beekeeping several weeks ago.
But still, from reading recent update news, and from personal experiences in the game; one sting can do up to 15 blood drain per bee, so even having just 3 worker-bees in a single skep can quickly kill a player who has less that 45 blood-humor points while under the
blood moon.
...And I try to keep at least 9 worker-bees per skep, maybe I am doing it wrong ?
