According to the XMLs, the hives are in 3 tiers, big medium and small for their radius, with them being 150, 50, 25 respectively. Assuming 'meters' in game, as that's generally what the XMLs refer to. So the medium would cover most fields widths, and large would cover most fields lengths.
Finally some useful information on bee's. Its always been "they effect yield", where as this is "how much and how far away from the hive." Super useful! Thanks.
What I dont like about the bees, is that you can't se the range when placing. Is it really that wrong to add a visible cirkel when you a placing them? or at least write what range they have. This is just one out of many places where giants don't give a crap and cheap out on info about the feature. That is a shame.
I find bees a disappointment tbh. They are insane slow producers for honey and I just stack up whatever my 6 hyves produce in case I ever get the muesli factory. It seems just one pallet per game year.
@@hueginvieny7959 Im not insane, you probably get way more pallets of honey then, I dont even bother about the one pallet my 6 largest hyves produce so far. Thats never gonna be 300g for one pallet. Haha
You need 98 of them for a full year of production. This seems like alot but if you scatter them around your fields it's pretty easy to hit that number.
Very interesting. I am curious whether the fields were 100% fertilized, weeded etc. Also, does it show you the yield increases before harvesting when you inspect the field manually?
In the base game only canola, potatoes, and sunflowers get a yield bonus from beehives (super lame decision by Giants...). The different hives have both a different yield and a effect radius distance that the yield applies to; bigger hives make more honey and have a larger radius. There's going to be the Bees Revamp mod that will add additional crops to get the bonus, increase the yield bonus to be more realistic, and increase the range that the beehives work at.
@@blackdadgaming6944 The "Bees Revamp" from FS22 is being ported to FS25, but it's still being worked on. The developer has the code for it on Github, Peppie84 is his name.
@@benduncanson2663 I only play on Steam so I don't keep track of the consoles. I know it uses Lua scripts to make the calculation changes so probably no, unless it was available on consoles in FS22.
It's true about every little aspect of the game too. You can add a crossboard to the Vaderstad Roller, but there's no explanation for what that is or does other than the change in appearance. Turns out it kills weeds! (But only if you manually drive it, AI doesn't for some reason????) How hard would it have been to add a tooltip or built in manual or something?
I got rid of the beehives on Hutan Pantai and RB Spring as to me it seemed to me you were getting less honey and took longer than on FS22, but that might be just my perception.
Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Someone ran this test at release found canola got 5% and sunflower/potato got 2.5%. That may have changed in one of the updates.
FS academy says sunflowers 5% canola and potato 2,5%

You can do a feature request on the giants forum instead of complaining about giants on a youtube video.

Your insane buy a bunch of hives store the honey and sell in January I make 300g on honey each year

I placed a crapton of beehives around my fields on the map and it makes at least a couple pallets of honey per day in game.
Y can only move spawn point for bees one time? I cant move it anymore

I hope so there was one in fs22 that was cool.

Will that bee mod come to PS5?

@benduncanson2663 unlikely. Scripts. However you might get mods for different beehives that could be better than standard.
I don't get why they can't explain things like this in the game. We shouldn't have to test every little thing to know how it works.

@delucain I was wondering about that too. I heard it weeds but never noticed a benefit because I use AI workers.
Hi, do you have a guide to building the small sheds? I’ve been trying to look for a guide but I haven’t found a single one.
Does having multiple beehives increase the distance?
I would like to know this also.
The bees mechanic is super undercooked. Could be so much more but it’s feels like an afterthought
Very helpfull. thank you
Would it make full bonus for 1 big field with 1 beehive, placed very close to this field, or only for nearest area of the field?
Dam I thought bees helped with wheat and barley as well.
What a waste 😮
Just wished the bees were worth using for honey without loading up the map with them.
Well dont really watch your videos but since getting fs25 ive been here enough to try and find details that ive subbed as you do the best guides
I got rid of the beehives on Hutan Pantai and RB Spring as to me it seemed to me you were getting less honey and took longer than on FS22, but that might be just my perception.
If I remember right, I've toy place the beehive you can see the range in the info when you walk up to it. Last you could in 22 and I think in 25
Wow! A video without your guide in how to move pallets. How refreshing!
I've noticed They don't produce as much like in fs22 this is without crops
