Apiary

Apiary v4.9

Two bug fixes and a small addition to the hive readout.

New

See how many bees are home

Sneak + right-click a hive with shears and the readout now shows how many bees are inside, like "Bees inside: 2/3". Handy for checking whether the colony is out before you harvest.

Fixes

Tall flowers no longer count twice

Sunflowers, lilacs, peonies, rose bushes and pitcher plants are two blocks tall, and Apiary was counting each half as its own flower. One sunflower and one dandelion were enough for the flower bonus. Each tall flower now counts once.

A glass roof no longer counts as rain

Apiary only checked whether a hive could see the sky, and sky shows through glass. So hives under a glass roof got the rain or snow bonus during storms, and their bees stayed calm, even though they were completely dry. Apiary now uses vanilla's own rain check, so the hive has to actually be out in the weather. If you have a greenhouse bee farm, expect it to lose the storm bonus.
