ShelterHold : Beehive

Steam Workshop

Since animals are already part of the apocalypse, why not bring in some insects too?  

This mod introduces a **brand-new beekeeping system**, featuring new functional structures, foods, medical items, and a few other surprises.

thanks to ivmakk for detailed testing and contributions during the development of this mod.

Beehives  

Bee Species: 

• There are three types of bees: **Honeybee**, **Bumblebee**, and **Zombee**.  
  Yes — if there are zombies, why not zombified bees too?
• Each species has unique traits and different honey-gathering speeds.  
  If you’re chasing maximum efficiency, feel free to swap bees often.

Environmental Factors: 

• Temperature, weather, time of day, and whether the hive is outdoors all affect whether bees will go out to collect nectar.

Frame Influence: 

• Adding more frames will increase honey production efficiency.

Farming Impact: 

• When a hive has active bees, nearby crops receive a small growth speed bonus.

Note: 

Taking out bees or frames might cause a small sting or scratch,When wearing a hazmat suit or a Spiffo mascot suit, you’ll be immune to stings.  

Alternatively, working while the bees are asleep might be a smart move too.

but don’t worry — it won’t kill you, and you won’t even need a bandage.  

It heals quickly on its own.

Honey Extractor  

Used to extract honey from hive frames.  

• You can only extract honey once the hive shows it’s ready for harvesting.
• You’ll need to keep clicking the extractor button to fill the progress bar and collect the honey.
• There’s also a small chance the extractor may damage a frame.

New Foods, Items & the Bait Hive  

• Food: Dozens of new honey-based foods — higher in calories and carbs than regular ones.  
  Simple ingredients, a touch of honey, and suddenly it looks delicious.
• Medical: Two new healing items — **Honey Bandage** and **Honey Patch**.  
  They stay clean longer than standard bandages.
• Weapon Maintenance: Use **beeswax** for a small chance to restore one of your weapon’s repair counts.
• Foraging: You can easily find bees and wild hives while searching in forested areas.
• Bait Hive: Place a bait hive, add some honey, beeswax, or other sweet stuff, and you might attract wild hives.
  Breaking them down can yield honey, beeswax, or even live bees.

If you enjoy my mod and your circumstances allow, it would be amazing if you could buy me a cup of coffee, but first and foremost, enjoy your game!
