hello it's ricardo and welcome back to farming simulator 2022. harvest is well underway on my
farm but i thought i'd take a look at something a little bit different today and that's bees yes
folks bees are our friend and bees can certainly provide you a little gold mine in regards to honey
not only to honey though however bees can also add a little percentage increase to your crop yield
but only certain crops these crops are going to be those flower type crops like potatoes sunflowers
that sort of thing and that's got a flower on it bees can give you within rage of the hive
a good old little bonus and a bonus is good so you can have honey or you can have a little bonus to
your crop as well so going into build we're going to stick a beehive in into animals and select
bees and you can see you've got different versions of beehives i'm going to go for the biggest one
you can possibly get the 33 langstroth hive and i'm going to place it right next to one of
my fields now i'll probably stick some flowers in there or something some flower crops like potatoes
or sunflowers then you've got a place where you can put your hallet your honey pallet
location you can put this anywhere on the map so you can put this theoretically right next
door let's say the cereal factory that really does need a lot of honey to make its by-product
up to you but you can change that around by clicking on it and demolishing it
and then placing it wherever you decide now honey comes in as in pots of jazz right pots or jars
on a pallet so you're gonna need a forklift truck because yeah no way your farmer is gonna be able
to turn around and lift a pallet of honey but there you are they're pretty much fire and
forget so we've put our large monster hive there 34 quadrant hive has gone straight in there and
the bees are doing their thing they are they're doing their thing they're swarming away and going
off and pollinating things within a radius and you can see when you get close to the hive it's got a
150 meter range and then before long you'll get a little pallet of honey pop up in your
location at the moment nothing's happened there's some has just popped in and that can be sold
all good stuff so bees and honey couldn't be easier so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to
take a look at where you can sell it so you select down on your list where honey is down the bottom
click on that and you can see the places that take honey so the cereal factory fast food
restaurants and the good old farmers market as well so if you're doing absolutely nothing
you can make quite a bit of money so let's take a look at some of the other
beehives now the smallest one comes in 1100 pounds and has got a really small yield
that small yield and small range is comparative to the actual hive so we're going to plonk it down
on my app salt that i've put there place item the next one up is four thousand four hundred
pounds uh a four langstroth hive there you go it's got another yield as well and obviously
not as big as the big yield hive that we've got you know obviously but bees will still do
the same you know you're also gonna have uh the option to have as much honey come
through depending on how many hives you've got so let's just place that for landstroth hive there
boom there you have it next up is an elongated hive again slightly more bees in that place it
down all good stuff um these different designs a bit of a personal preference and then the 10 as
well that's gonna have a slightly larger increased yield but it's coming in at a good old 1200
next up is the large hive the 33 hive that we had earlier on now you only can put one pallet
per farm location so it's probably important to choose well where you're going to put that
so so far that's all good stuff you can put it anywhere you want just make sure you destroy the
old one and there are the five hives that you can get without any additional modifications
all good stuff now as i mentioned these are all pretty much fire and forget when i say fire and
forget you put them down you haven't gotta water the hives the honey appears at the honey location
and then you just transport it to where you want to get for the most money
see this one's got a 25 meter range when you approach it and then honey goes to the pallet
location the next one up the four that's a 50 meter range and then you've got the 75
there see for the elongated hive and then the 10 langstroth hive which is your next one over
that goes up to a hundred meter range where they will pollinate flowered typed crops so good stuff
so this is it really hives and bees fire and forget put them off reaping all the money and
honey is a little gold mine here as well and is used in quite a few other places um not only you
can just sell it the farmers market look for the cereal production factory as well so that was it
really that's my little view on bees hives and honey it's all good stuff and why wouldn't you
want to have one of these in your farm i think it's a it's a bit of a no-brainer anyway i've
been ricardo thanks very much for watching hope you've enjoyed this video on bees and beehives
i've enjoyed doing it look back for more videos in the series and i'll see you soon
you
