Locations
There are several locations in the game, where bees can be found:

 * The apiary (or beegarden) is northwest of your home. You can find two wild hives nearby. After some study and repair work, you can build your own hives there.
 * Scattered around the landscape, you'll find a lot of trees with wild bee hives in them. After some studies, honey, bees and wax can be harvested there. Most of them can be found in the forest near the river. Check the following map for locations.

Beekeeper Workbench
