Some of you may know that mead was originally made from fermenting honey, sadly bees and beekeeping are not included in this mod. I am unsure what the creator's plans for the Beorning faction in the mod, whether they'll be implented or nor, however in The Hobbit novel, Bilbo makes a comment on the unusual bees within Beorns meadows.

My proposal is that bees and beekeeping are implented into the mod, hives naturally spawn [as a block] in most regions of ME and upon breaking yield honey and a queen bee. The queen may then be placed into an apiary and used to produce honey and more queens, however these queens have a lifespan and eventually die. The honey of course can then be used to make mead and perhaps other sweets and desserts, this will mean that the brewing recipe for rum can include sugar, that might be more accurate, it may not be, meh. If indeed the Beornings are added some time in the future, perhaps they offer a honey brew with unique properties similar to orc draught and miruvor. In addition to unique queen bees which produce a special honey that is used to brew this beverage.

Any feedback would be appreciated and I'm open to opinions.....tbh only made an account just cos ocd compelled me to correct this...
