"The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others"

Saint John Chrysostom, 347 - 407

The power and industry of the bee is a symbol for a competent society. All the pieces, working together as though with one mind, taking the mundane nectar of flowers and turning it into something truly magical. By learning Bee Keeping, a pilgrim will be able to build Bee Skeps and raise hives of their own. Active Bee Skeps help pollinate a Fruit Tree in Everbloom.

  2. Every other day open your Bee Skep and remove any Delphic Bee icon.png Delphic Bees additional or Queen Bees.
  3. Bees will occasionally die, this is normal, add more Drone Bees if you fall below 6.
  4. Slowly your Bee Keep will fill with Honey.
  5. Once your Honey bar reaches 100, or at any time before, you may remove all your Bees.
  6. Destroy icon.png Destroy your Bee Skep.
  7. Right-click on your broken Bee Skep and select "Extract Honey" to gather 1-20x Honeycomb icon.png Honeycomb in proportion to how full you got your Honey bar.

CAUTION: Opening a Bee Skep will cause you to get stung. The severity of the sting is proportionate to the number of Worker Bees in the Bee Skep; generally between 5-15 Blood damage.

How to Pollinate Fruit

  2. Every other day open your Bee Skep and remove any Delphic Bee icon.png Delphic Bees additional or Queen Bees. Add more Drone Bees if you fall below 6.

  6. Each Everbloom Fruit Tree icon.png Fruit Trees within your Bee's Skep range will blossom and riped by chance.
  7. Each time a Fruit Tree ripens it gain up to 10% of the Purity difference between the Fruit Tree and your Bee Skep. This gain is reduced if you have less than 60k Worker Bees.

Fruit Purity

Each Everbloom icon.png Everbloom that a Fruit Tree icon.png Fruit Tree ripes with a Bee Skep icon.png Bee Skep in range, will cause your Fruit Tree to gain 10% of the difference between the Fruit Tree's Purity and the Purity of Bee Skep that pollinates it, multiplied by the percent fill of your 60,000 Worker Bees. For instance, if your Fruit Tree is at 0% Purity and your Bee Skep at 90% filled with 30k Worker Bees your Fruit Tree will gain 4.5% (90% x 50% (60k/30k). The Purity of a Bee Skep is equal to the average Purity of the Hay icon.png Hay used in it's
