About

A working Bee Skep icon.png Bee Skep will pollinate near by Fruit Trees during an Everbloom. A full Bee Skep is a better pollinator than a full {{i|Butterfly Conservatory]] although a Butterfly Conservatory has a longer range. Honeycomb icon.png Honeycomb are received from destroying a working Bee Skep icon.png Bee Skep. Draining a Honeycomb will give .1 liters of Honey icon.png Honey and 1x Beeswax icon.png Beeswax. An empty Vessel, or one already containing Honey must be in your inventory when Draining a Honeycomb icon.png Honeycomb, otherwise the Honey will be lost.

To get your Bee Skep working and producing Honeycomb you must place a Queen Bee icon.png Queen Bee and at least 2x Drone Bee icon.png Drone Bees into the Skep. This will cause your Bee Skep to accumulate Worker Bees. The maximum number of Worker Bees is 60000.

Queen Bees, Drone Bees, Delphic Bee icon.png Delphic Bee, and Royal Jelly icon.png Royal Jelly will occasionally spawn inside your Bee Skep. Having more than 1 Queen Bee, or any Delphic Bees in your Bee Skep will cause your colony to start collapsing. Remove them if you see them. Opening a working Bee Skep will cause you to get stung. The severity of the sting is proportionate to the number of Bees in the Bee Skep; generally around 10-15 Blood damage.

Caution! Checking your Bee Skep too often will annoy the Bees and potentially lead to a colony collapse. It is recommended that you only check your Bee Skeps only once a day or once every other day.


The Purity of a Fruit Tree slowly moves towards the Purity of the Bee Skep which Pollinates it. The Purity of a Bee Skep is equal to the Purity of the Hay icon.png Hay used in it's construction. Growing high Purity Autumn Grass icon.png Autumn Grass in a Gardening Pot icon.png Gardening Pot and placing it on a Hay Stack icon.png Hay Stack is one of the easiest ways to do this.
