Editing Beekeeping (section)

==The birds and the bees==
To start keeping your bees, you will need to procure yourself a queen bee [[File:beequeen.gif]]. They can be obtained from the special beekeper starter pack crate, available at [[Cargo]] for 1500 points. The crate contains:

*The queen bee.[[File:beequeen.gif]]
*An Apiary [[File:apiary.png]]for the bees to live in, as well as 3 honeycomb frames [[File:honey_frame.png]].
*A beekeeper suit, which will protect one person from bee stings. 
*A flyswatter, a very robust tool against small, fast insects.

Additional suits can be ordered for 1000 points a pair.
Additional apiaries can be built for 40 wooden planks each, and additional frames for 5 planks. Each apiary can carry maximum 3 frames.
'''BEE careful''': the Apiary from a crate will deploy as soon as the crate is opened. You will need to unwrench the bolts if you want to move it.

Once you have deployed your Apiary, pick up the queen bee and gently introduce her to her new home. Assuming some plants are around to sustain a hive, she will get right to work.
