We couldn't ignore active lobbying of a new livestock business area. Our players made it clear - they have been really passionate about adding beekeeping and we decided to do that. Today we announce Beekeeping industry for all realms!
Basically Apiaries are very similar to other livestock subdivisions in terms of interface and functionality.
Apiaries "Equipment" is Bees
"Animal feed" / consumables for Apiaries is Wax foundation
Beekeeping products depend on apiaries specialization (4 different specializations: Collecting honey, pollination of crops, medicinal beekeeping and reproduction of bee families):
Bees
Honey (retail product)

Bee medicinal ingredients (natural honey products)
Independent supplier located in Ufa / Russia (Buenos Aires for Mary) of Wax foundation will support the industry at the beginning.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Agricultural farms and plantation of all kinds will get a bonus to product quality. The bonus depends on number of apiaries (fully functioning) in the city. Not only apiaries owned by player going to be taken into account but also all apiaries owned by corporation members are accounted. This works only for apiaries which have "pollination of crops" specialization. The maximum bonus for crops (product) quality is +50% +20%. Number of healthy bee colonies per 1 hectare of land is getting into account. Apiaries of corporation members have only +50% +20% effect in comparison with your own apiaries. 1 bee colony is enough to get full bonus for X hectares of land. (X depends on quality of bees)
UPD - fixed
1 - Max bonus reduced from 50% to 20%
2 - By one bee colony we understand one unit of bees (max size has 250 bee colonies). 3 things have influence on this: Health of bees, total efficiency and quality of bees. Quality 1 gives full bonus to 1 ha, Q2 = 2 ha, etc until Q5. After bees quality of 5 bonus decreasing. For instance Q10 gives full bonus to 5.8 ha
