Apiculture
Everything related to apiculture is part of the addon "ISA-Hornetkeeping"
The first two things you will need are an apiary (unlocked with the related research) and a bit of luck, because to build it you need either a queen bee or a hornet larvae. The hornet apiary must be kept far from beaten path because the hornets are aggresives and will attack if the pawns get to close.
The apiary will produce periodically honeycombs and less often a new queen bee or an hornet larvae depending on which apiary it is. With the honeycombs you will be able to do everything else in the mod, you just need to process it at the stove.
Wax is one of the by-products obtained by "cooking" honeycombs, it can be sold for easy money or used to build various type of candles, candelabra, ecc.
Honey is the main product obtained by "cooking" honeycombs, it can be consumed for recreation like chocolate, it can be sold or it can be used to craft sweetrolls or even mead at the fermenting barrel.
There is a big difference between bee honey products and hornet honey products. Hornet honey is a potent drug which makes you a better melee and ranged fighter but it's very addictive.
There are a couple of drugs in this mod, for example the (bee) mead is just a normal alchoolic beverage; meanwhile hornet honey and (hornet) mead share the same effects. The last type of drug is pollen, it lowers breathing and gives a small boost to immunity and happiness.
There is a new apicultural caravan that will sell anything bee/hornet related but will also sell "insects" animals.
