As the tin says: flowers should increase honey yields.
I recently just started playing and instinctively placed a maypole near my beehives; only to learn it has nothing to do with bee happiness. This got me thinking: the presence of flowers (or flower/berry spawns like thistle/dandelion and Raspberries) should have an effect on honey production. I think piggy backing on the workbench system could accomplish this, so it wouldn't matter the order in which these conditions are met.
Conditions:
- Single Beehive
- Beehive near a flower/berry spawn
- Beehive near seed crops
- Beehive connected to a maypole
Beehive Tiers
- 100% Rate
- 110% Rate
- 125% Rate
