Glitched Beehive?

I have a beehive that has not produced a honey or beeswax in a week. It is thriving, well taken care of, has the little blue + sign every day, and at 100k bees. All my other hives are producing, just not this one. All hives are 65 days old. Anyone have any thoughts on what I can do?

It may be different, but when mine do that I give 2 of all potions for a few days. Seems to work. I have chopped and reset the naughty one, too.

Random number generators produce weird streaks. 7 times isn't enough data to point to a malfunction.

I generally wait to drain the wax on mine until at least 1 hive is over 230. I would suggest: wait until that wax drain, and if you ever have 0 wax on one hive while you have 230+ on another then something is fishy.

The exception is if you have more than 22 hives. Production drops off really sharply after 22 hives. At least one way that code could be written would cause it to tend to weight non-production on some hives more than others.

I have had that before. A couple of times over the last few years. Chopping and restarting is 14 days to get up and running vs. crossing your fingers and hoping it will start producing *at some point*. Other than maxing potions to try and jump it, you can also not put ANY potions on. I have found when i miss a day, they all seem to over-conpensate in production for a couple days after being restored (like 90+% production!).
