Magical transformation of bumblebees
Looking through the raws, I noticed that bumblebees lack a pet value. I wonder if that might be the cause of the "magical transformation" of bumblebees into honey bees when they're collected into an artificial hive. Gentgeen 00:01, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- Prior to version 0.31.20, honey bees didn't have a petvalue either - Toady only added it to honey bees because bumblebees aren't even permitted to be placed in artificial hives (since they lack [ARTIFICIAL_HIVEABLE]). --Quietust 00:52, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Automatic destruction of hive

Tools
Hives fall under the 'Tools' section on the 'Bring items to depot' screen, along with (small) jugs and nest boxes. There is obviously some overlap here with crafts and with furniture. Pots (large jugs), for instance, can be used as a storage container like barrels, both for drink and for food, while jugs are required, it seems, for harvesting royal jelly from a hive (something like a bag is needed to transfer a quarry bush into quarry bush leaves. Is it worth creating a Tools page, linking to these separate tools? Work is needed on the chests/containers/boxes/bins/barrels page, I think, to clarify jugs/pots, while it's also worth noting that tools are stored as crafts. --zooeyglass 09:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
