[[File:Vermin-Honeybee.jpg|thumb|left|Admired for its busy nature.]]On embarks with natural honey bee hives, dwarves with the [[beekeeper]] skill enabled can transfer the bees into artificial [[hive]]s. These artificial hives can be built at the [[craftsdwarf's workshop]], [[metalsmith's forge]], [[glass furnace]], or [[kiln]]. Once the artificial hive is built, it can be set to either allow collection of hive products (which destroys the hive) or not (which allows the hive to grow so that it may be split into another hive). In order to collect hive products, the dwarves must have at least two [[jug]]s (which are made at the same places as hives). When a Beekeeper collects the hive products, the hive is destroyed, one jug is filled with royal jelly, and a [[honeycomb]] is produced. The honeycomb can then be pressed at a [[screw press]] in order to collect [[honey]] and [[wax]]. The royal jelly can be sold to elves (who are suckers for holistic medicine) or cooked into prepared meals.
