Do bee boxes need flowers in DST?

Yes, bee boxes in Don't Starve Together (DST) absolutely need nearby flowers to produce honey; they require bees to pollinate at least six flowers for each hive to work efficiently, or they produce slowly (1 honey/day) if far from the player but still need flowers within range (around 30 units). Without flowers, bees can't gather nectar, halting honey production, so planting flowers or using captured butterflies is essential, especially in areas like caves where flowers don't spawn naturally.

Do you need flowers for bees?

Yes, bees fundamentally need flowers for survival, as flowers provide their primary food (nectar for energy, pollen for protein for larvae) and the basis for honey, but they can supplement with other sources like tree sap (honeydew) or even ripe fruit when flowers are scarce, though this isn't enough long-term; without a diverse range of blooms, bees starve, and our ecosystems suffer, making flowers essential for both bee and human survival.
