How to grind faster in bee Swarm?

Is leveling up bees worth it in a bee swarm?

This is a simple question that I've been meaning to ask for a while.

? If you're using the honey bees from the book, then is there any real reason to level up a hive until you get to 3 frames or more? I'd like to know if I should be building 3-frame hives for my honey bees now rather than using the super and brood box method of starting out.

I really appreciate any input, even if you just say "No" or "Yes". Thanks for reading! Well, the only reason I've found for not raising up a hive is for the sake of speed. I am impatient, and will quickly run through a hive if I feel like it. I've been watching a hive for a few hours, and have seen a swarm (usually the first time I do this) in two hours. I want to build as many hives as possible before winter, and I know that means getting through a hive as fast as possible.

You can speed up your hives by using boxes with queen excluders, or boxes with a lid that can be easily opened. Also, if you use a hive tool, you'll be able to lift off the frame(s) easier, which makes it easier to remove and replace the frames. The last trick I've used is to use three frames and pull off the two outer frames at a time. This way you'll be able to pull out frames and check your brood without slowing down your hive too much.

If you are having problems with your hive, I would suggest that you do some research into why it's not working, or read about the different methods of hive maintenance. You could start with this link: Bees are wonderful creatures, but I've never understood why they would build a home that is so uninviting. I'd rather make my home an inviting place than live in a castle.

And the way you said "I'm impatient" made me laugh. If I was a bee, I would have been insulted by your remark.

I agree with Joe's response. It is usually recommended to have a couple of frames with brood and a couple with honey at all times.

How to get 150 million honey fast?

I've been asked this question a lot recently, and I decided to start a series of blog posts to answer it.

The series will cover the following topics: Getting honey from a beekeepers who sells bees in a swarm (ie from a box). Getting honey from the source (ie beehives from the ground). Getting Honey from an open-source beehive without having to buy bees (ie beehives from the wood). Finding out how to get honey when you want and don't have bees (ie getting honey by your own initiative). The purpose of this series of posts is to offer tips and techniques that will help you get more honey in a short period of time, if needed. Why would anyone want to do this? If I put you in a room with thousands of dollars worth of high-tech machinery in it, wouldn't you consider trying to figure out how to get a better part from that machinery for yourself? In my opinion, anyone who wants to get more honey faster should try at least one of these methods. It will benefit you in the long run because: You'll make some money at some point of time. If you're able to make more money from this, you might just keep doing it.

If you fail at this, you will learn valuable lessons. Sometimes, it's just better to get beaten by others, than to beat them yourself.

I'll be talking mostly about the third way options on this blog, ie options that don't require you to buy bees. Let's not get lost in the topic though. Let's start with the simple stuff and learn as we go.

Getting Honey from a Beekeeper Who Swarms. As a general rule, if you get honey from someone who swarms bees, you'll end up paying him an upfront fee that covers both equipment and labour, with no guarantee that he will give you the honey from the box (if you decide to keep all the bees, you have to pay him anyways). If you do end up with honey, you'll get that honey before it leaves his property.

How many treats does it take to level up a bee to level 12?

This is actually a good question.

For the purposes of this answer, we're assuming that we're talking about Honey and Treats, but the math is basically the same regardless of how much candy you use.

The amount of candy needed to level up a bee increases by 1 candy every time you level up. When you get to level 12, you don't gain candy from levels 13 through 20. You can gain 5 candies at any time. A level up adds 1 candy to your level. (It doesn't matter if you're above or below level 12). So, to reach level 12, you'll need 6 treats plus a bee at level 11. But there's a catch. In the beginning of the game, when you start out at level 1, there's a chance of 0.001275% that you'll get a lucky roll and a level up will happen! If you get a lucky roll, it'll be the first time that you level up. You won't get any candy from this level up.

I say "a chance of 0.001275% that you'll get a lucky roll" because it's impossible for you to know when that roll will come, and when it does, it's impossible for you to know if you'll get a level up. It's just a random number, not the percentage of times you'll get a lucky roll.

But if you do get a lucky roll, you won't get candy from your level up. So if you're level 11, you'll need to level up twice to get a level 12 bee, so you'll need 3 treats plus a bee at level 11.

So, let's do some math: For a level 11 bee, you'll need 7 treats plus a bee at level 11.8 treats.)
For a level 12 bee, you'll need 6 treats plus a bee at level 11.) And as expected, you only need 5 treats to level up a bee from level 12 to level 13. So, now that we know how many treats to level up a bee, we can answer the original question.
