-When first built, the apiary is empty and must attract a queen bee before it begins producing. Important: after you check for a queen and it has one and about 1000 bees, check immediately again. The hive will not produce any [[Honey]] or [[Beeswax]] until you do this. You can wait but no one has reported so far losing the queen. After you have checked it for the first time wait approximately 16 hours for first full 10 [[Honey]]/[[Beeswax]]. After this you can collect about every 7 hours.  Note:  on occasion, a hive will, for whatever reason, fail to attract a queen.  If several days go by without a queen arriving, one can either continue to try or tear down the hive and rebuild it.

 Apiaries can hold up to 1000 bees.  When harvested, the apiary will lose half its bees, slowing production time of the next batch. (Removing the [[Honey]] & [[Beeswax]] does not allow the bees to escape.) As your [[speed]] stat increases, you will begin getting the following message on some harvests: "Due to your quick Speed checking, no bees escaped", and thus the hive will require less time before another 10 [[Honey]]/[[Beeswax]]/[[Royal Jelly]] are produced. The higher your speed,the more frequently this message will appear.
-'''Note:  With speed of 10 about half the time, no bees were lost.  At speed 33 have seen no bees lost.''' Speed of 33 is likely way more than necessary to reach 100% Speed checking, its just what the recipe I have gives me.  When no bees are lost, time between  harvests can be shortened to 3-4 hours.
