Bee Disappearance

[foamingowl]

I noticed that my bees have started to disappear out of the urns I place them in. Is there a reason why they are doing this? Is there a way to prevent them from disappearing aside from putting them in a skep?

No, without a home to live in, and a colony to support them, they eventually starve to death.

even in a skep they disappear after a while queens too, but they take much longer.

Do bees need to pollinate fruit trees to survive?
And what about butterflies? whats the butterfly cage good for?

Bees don't need fruit trees, but fruit trees need bees.

Butterflies in a cage will pollinate trees too or you can just use it to collect them all like Pokemon.

thank god there are only 16 in the original set. Looking forward to the expansion, though. Even though I never did catch the 16th one: some butterflies are much more rare than others.

Our queen just kicked the bucket in the skep. Does that mean everyone else is a goner?
