Apiary

The Apiary is a production building used to raise Honey bee. It supports the kingdom’s bee-related economy by generating Honey, Beeswax, and even Honey bee itself through crafting jobs that consume petals, and in one recipe syrup.

Its main value is that it turns flower resources into highly useful food and crafting materials. Honey can be eaten directly to keep morale or energy lasting longer, and it is also used as a cooking ingredient. Beeswax has broader industrial uses as well, including trap-related crafting and as a material needed to make Copper wire for Electricity-based production.

The available production options are:

• 2 Petals → 4 Beeswax
• 8 Petals → 8 Honey
• 4 Syrup → 8 Honey
• 4 Petals → 4 Honey bee

Because the building can convert simple plant resources into several different outputs, it is a flexible early- to mid-game food and material source. Choosing between Honey and Beeswax production depends on whether the colony needs more sustenance, crafting material, or a way to expand Honey bee production.
