Hello, I've been having beeswax (20x) for a few weeks now in my trash heap. Bug or intentional?

The Initial Buzz Our devs spent time and effort implementing bees and beehives, and we waxed lyrical and swarmed out to grab them. These furry insects captured our imagination, and got us all out and about building hives and hunting wild colonies, to get our share of the sweet honey and useful wax. Unfortunately after this initial buzz, keeping bees has lost it's appeal for many. Why? Here's the stinger - there is little economic benefit in keeping bees. Folks don't need honey, and wax has limited uses. Barrels can be sealed just as easily with a peg with minimal effort, and candles can be made with animal fat. Of course there are other uses, but at the end of the day - who needs bees? The Honey Trap. What we need are more gameplay and hence economical reasons to keep bees. So lets make a start - I am sure you can add to this list. Scented candles - yes I know, interest in candles thus far has 'tapered' somewhat, but by rolling the wax in rose petals before making a candle, you could produce a powerful and useful Scented Candle, which exerts a short term calming aura on aggressive mobs, or reduces your aggro range to that of a new player. By using lavender you could instead create a candle with a healing aura proportional to your candle ql. Add fruits, herbs or spices and the list of possible beneficial effects grows. Furniture polish. Yes we love our furniture and effects, but - and here's the rub, they all start to look the same after a while. Why not press beeswax into a jar and rub it on our wooden possessions? To slow decay? Maybe! To produce a short term glow or colour effect? Possibly. Why not? Switchels. What on earth is a switchel? Cider vinegar has long been known for its medicinal properties, and by dissolving cider vinegar and honey together in a jar of hot water, and drinking it regularly, many people have come to believe in the powerful properties of this traditional health tonic. What are these health properties? We won't know until we get some! So Bee It Whether you're a firm bee-leaver, or the idea of keeping bees brings you out in hives - why not jot down your ideas for improving the bee-economy? Thanks!

Selling bulk order of 5 active bee hives for 10s. All hives are 60+ quality. For this price you get: Free delivery to any coastal location on Freedom Isles. Small supply of sugar in each locked hive. One of the hives is rare, and at least one other has turned noisy (2 queens for price of 1!) All honey and beeswax accumulated since migration stays in the hives. I also sell extra sugar and smokers upon request. Message me here or in-game and, as always, thanks for your business!

[06:54:39] You light the bee smoker. [06:56:53] You enter Trappers. [06:57:27] The bees noise is getting louder, maybe you are getting closer to their hive. [06:57:50] That would be illegal here. You can check the settlement token for the local laws. ((When I tried to take honey)) [06:57:55] You get a beeswax. ((I was able to take the beeswax from on-deed wild hive)) It was suggested that I post this up on here, as it perhaps isn't supposed to happen. Was able to pick up a beeswax, but not the honey from a wild hive that was on someone's deed.
