... or can I build a Bee Skep in my base without any flowers, orchards or trees for the bees and they still reproduce and create honey?
I have found a queen and six drones so far.

Yes, the bees will find flowers on their own if you haven't put any nearby. So, you don't need an orchard or anything to build a skep.

Lack of better thread-
Is there any benefit to maintaining a bee-hive who's at 100% honey?
Will it keep producing royal jelly, inspirations, etc... or is it better to start over immediately with drones/queen in residence in new Hive?

It will keep producing royal jelly and Delphic bees.

Honey is a major boost in humours though

How big is it now? I remember that it used to be +10% for a couple of minutes after you drank 1 liter

I believe I saw 25% specified somewhere, though haven't confirmed.
