AlexPalex Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 I've placed the skep two blocks below and one block adjacent to a wild bee hive with 41 nearby flowers and a large population size, left it there for two days, and nothing has happened. Why? Is the temperature an issue? It's getting down to -2 at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Khornet Posted October 2 Solution Report Share Posted October 2 (edited) Skeps hibernate (deactivate all functions) at 0°C. Here's a wiki quote: "Populations of bees will hibernate (stop swarming or producing honeycombs) at 0°C. Once the temperature reaches -10°C, all bee-related timers (swarm and production) will reset, and will only resume until the temperature rises above 0°C at the end of winter." They still buzz though even if they're surrounded by mounds of snow, those bees simply never shut up... Edited October 2 by Khornet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Welcome to the forums, @AlexPalex! @Khornet is probably right, but in my game, it took longer to swarm. In 1.19, it would be ready by the time I put together a small charcoal pit, but my one-and-only 1.20 game took several days, with several pits smoking and 4 full stacks of charcoal in inventory. 'Course, fire clay has me rethinking what a lifetime supply of charcoal means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexPalex Posted October 2 Author Report Share Posted October 2 Thanks! Given that the solution implied in both of these answers is just "wait a couple days", I'll probably never know which one of the two is the actual cause, so I don't know which one to mark as the solution. Thanks again regardless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Oh, mark @Khornet for sure. That's the one that others will want to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
