If you encounter the bug where no bee hive spawns at all, do yourself a favor and just spawn it in with console commands. Theres no shame in doing that when the game is polluted with these game breaking bugs. Enjoy the game and dont see it as cheating, because its not. You bought the game, you make the decisions.

Tactic that they spread about checking if there is queen in hive by sound of buzzing is bull sht, i found queen in hive with -99999 sound litteraly 0 sound hive, its just random feature
