Hives seem to check static objects, not just items. Bodies of water or wild flowers are counted by the hive. I'm not sure if yard wants affect this however. Could this be changed to water pitcher specifically, to avoid issues with static objects? I think it involves this section of the code. It scans for anything with water in it, which includes tiles, which explains why water troughs work.

Code: Select all

WaterInRange = 0;
Map map = Map;
if( map == null )	
		if( iName.IndexOf("WATER") != -1 ) 
			WaterInRange++;																									 
}

Flowers are similar; it searches for objects with flower, lilly, poppy or snowdrop in them. I'd like to set up bees but my water seems to bee off the charts as my house is situated by a lake.

Also, should I be wrong on any of this, my bad. It's been nearly four years since I've toyed with bees

Edit: that bee pun was a typo. Although priceless.

I've noticed the same as you do, my bees count a yard wand fountain as water source and possibly the spring quest flower pots as a plant source (not confirmed, but i have only 1 or 2 so called bee friendly plants available and it seems to be too much for some of the bees...)
