Personally i was surprised that they essentially wanted me to remove the roof that i had constructed to shield their apiary from the rain.

Valheim is not real life, if you believe it is you nmeed to power off your rig and go take some fresh air.

this game has to be the most innacurate representation of real life, hell technically your character is dead and in valhalla at the moment which is the afterlife in norse mythology (if im wrong in terms of naming im sorry im rusty on my norse) its not because its doesnt accurately represent how life works it just annoys you because of your occupation., be honest, this is just a sh-i-t post

you understand that games are made by looking at reference material correct?
im just saying maybe they should do a little more research on their content.

two seconds of google would have saved the guy a few days programming that unnecessary feature lol

are the bees undead too?

You realize that no 10 meters troll is looking over my fence in real life right now right?

Games do not have to reference real material, they need gameplay that make sense. Spacing your bees in Valheim makes sense gameplay wise so you have to strategize where to put them.

There isn't much strategy to them, they could remove all limitations on them currently and it wouldn't really change much.

that assumption of the devs coulda just google search is vbery condscending, so you think the devs are complete numbskulls then? or perhaps they were not aiming to make this accurate 1-1
maybe they knew but there was a underlying reason why they didnt or couldnt have it that way?.
are you a developer or a bee keeper?
its just a nit pick honestly because your occupation correlates with the bee hives..... pretty sure you should be able to manually skin your own fish as well but instead its automatically done for you before cooking it what a shame as a cook i find this stupid.... you could use your same line of logic for so many aspects of this game, hell im sure a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lumber jack would have some things to say about cutting the logs etc. at the end of the day its a nit pick, who the hell cares just put the bee hives outside

albeit the link was interesting and i like learning about bees but thank you for that

ive seen the whole not accurate to real life argument in so many games its just dumb

It would be neat if the bees would fly around and pollinate the plants around the hive to help them be more productive. this is why you see boxes in farmers fields. heck you can rent boxes for your land if you need a boost.

bees are like little buff packs in real life, im trying to point out the extra features that could be added.

You already got the bees, just make em' do stuff!

-How you can find a Queen Bee was a great little thing tho
