how to Bee

[Thornment]

I have a question: do I have to be in the same part of the world(chunk) as the wild hive for the bees to find the flowers?

I found a hive in my world but it is quite far from my house. The hive does not detect any flowers in the area even though I planted them under the tree

You can pile up some dirt and plant the flowers closer to the hive if it is really high up in a tree.

Otherwise, it's a "walk away for a few days and then check again" type of deal.

Additionally to the, by Streetwind, mentioned detection range, beehives also don't detect changes to the environment immediately. It takes the bees a while to discover the planted flowers. See https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Beekeeping#Populating_an_empty_skep.

The problem was that the flowers were too far away. Thank you for your help
