Evelynn Fox Posted March 3, 2024 Report Posted March 3, 2024 soo, I've been running my apiary for a few in-game months, building up my cattail farm and replacing skeps as needed I build two scarecrows to act as distractions from the angry bee swarms, and for the most part I've had no issues well, I CONTINUE to have no issues, only.. the angry bee swarms seem to no longer bee interested in me at all? they come out from the hives at the normal rates, but they simply swarm in place for a bit, not even making the angry "stinging" sound, before wandering away from me. I've even tried standing right beside their destroyed hive, and nothing, they float over my head and fly off into the sunset, not so much as a how-do-ya-do I guess my question is: has anyone else encountered this, or should it be reported? is it a hidden stat or feature of the bees simply beeing used to my presence and not attacking me? or should I report it as a bug through the appropriate reporting tool?
Maelstrom Posted March 5, 2024 Report Posted March 5, 2024 Sounds like a lucky string of favorable RNG. Bees may not create an angry swarm. If an angry swarm is generated it may target something other than you right away. BTW, bees WILL target any nearby animals, like the ones you've domesticated. Be careful as bees have killed animals.
Thorfinn Posted March 6, 2024 Report Posted March 6, 2024 There was a version of 1.18 that I wondered about the same thing. Never did get an angry swarm before the next update. No idea if it was bugged or I was just that lucky.
Michael Gates Posted March 6, 2024 Report Posted March 6, 2024 Saw this happen a couple of times in 1.19.3. It wasn't reliable at all, seemed to happen about 1/4 of the time. There *was* a wolf pit not too far away, so the bees might have been going after whatever rabbits or pigs had fallen in.

Thorfinn Posted March 6, 2024 Report Posted March 6, 2024 Wow. Nope, never seen that. Coming up on first big harvest of the new version, so if I have time tonight, I should see.
