Overview
An Apiary allows you to keep bees which produce Honey, Royal Jelly, and Beeswax.
Source
This building becomes available after the Beekeeping technology is learned at a University of Worship.

Use
When building hive, try to set them up away from crowded areas. The /crowd command can return the relative crowding of an area - under 14% is best.
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. 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.
Apiary production caps at 10 Honey, 10 Beeswax and 10 Royal Jelly. If there is already 10 of each when you check, it will be overwritten with the new harvest and will not increase. However, if you didn't take the honey/beeswax/royal jelly from the last check, take the contents of the hive, then check, the hive will fill with the new hive production.
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. Even at 1 hour between harvests, I got over 50% of my normal harvest. ~Lilyoptra 7/10/16
The recovery time for a hive replacing the lost bees is based on how many hives are built in a group.
10 hives or less are always recovered back to maximum bees in 24 real life hours.
At 11 hives, it is usually fully recovered.
At 23 hives, only 127 bees out of the 500 lost bees were replaced.
The number of bees in the hive does affect, although somewhat randomly, the amount of Honey/Beeswax produced. - Zotep
Apiaries are visible and audible to a range of 32 coordinates.
