Does it worth to grow bees ?Thats my question, because last night ,for a first time i collect honey and wax from 24 bee hives and i notice that its not worth to grow them at all.First my opinion the tools for them ,like wax procesing pot is way too expensive. .If u grow bees for the items in secret vendors stone its not worth at all all that efford .For example if u wanna +1 level scroll that is 200 slumgum.So my calculation is with 1 wax procesing pot u make 5 slumgum around, so 5slumgub is 50k(1 wax procesing pot) u need 200 slumgum for 1 level deed, .So u need 40 wax procesing pot to make 200 slumgum that make 2000000gold for 1 scroll +1 level deed.My opinions is that if there is no change in the prise of the tools this is just big waste of time and money, because u can buy level deeds from vendors for 130k around.And the items from the secret vendors that u take with slumgum and honey will cost u a fortune and they are not that good.

Ok, im gonna start my hives just to verify all you said, cause to my knowledge, the wax crafting pot can hold 255 wax at a time and has 50 uses so thats quite a lot, also, the tools have 500 uses, thats 40 uses per hive x 24 so about 960, so 2 tools are needed. That might be over price but again i have yet to start my hives, i will coment at a later time with my own result (not taking into consideration de price of kegs since i make them myself without buying reagents) My bigest concern is that i saw a vendor in the new luna market selling honey at 100k for 1000 jars, making hives a risky investment if that person bought hundreds of thousand jars at 3 gp on the vendor during that exploit situation we had, making the players who harvest them through working and tending to hives impossible to compete price wise. I have also seen some of the vendor stone rewards sell for less then 100k, again, making the price of honey drop dramaticaly!
I guess testing on my part and time will tell us if they are a viable income over time.
 
My two cents,

The honey exploit was removed.  The Honey is now a player-based market, price will be determined by supply and demand.  There is also a Honey Vendor Stone at the savage camp that will have various items available on a limited or rare basis to reward players who produce honey.
 
This beekeeping system will stimulate the plant system, herb system and the pet repair system.  Many markets will start to emerge now that I made some items player produced/crafted

No doubt Dante, but like i mentioned, if the people who exploited the vendors have insane amount of honey, it will take a while for them to sell it all, randering hives worthless until they do! So like i said, time will tell!
