So I'm having a slight issue with bee keeping and just before I get flooded with people talking about the exact same bug. I have one dwarf. He is a beekeeper. That is his only job. I do not allow pressing or beekeeping on any other dwarf. In past forts I have managed to get a pretty decent operation going without any difficulties. But this fort just doesn't seem to be co-operating.

So the issue is thus. I am getting spammed by this one message "Urist McDwarf, Beekeeper cancels collect hive products: Job item lost or destroyed." Is there something I'm missing on what. I have about 10 hives going right now that all need to be either split or collected. For right now I turned off the beekeeping job on that dwarf and have left the presser job on. So any insights on what might be going on.

Did you ever at any time, have more than this one dwarf with the beekeeping labor? Because I've experienced problems when there's more than one.

There were a few migrants that came in with that skill set turned on. But since soon as migrants arrive on map I immediately give them therapy. So if there was one with that skill set turned on it wasn't turned on for too long.

I would try deconstrucying the hives and rebuilding them.

The hives have to be adjacent to a tile connected to the surface, if that helps.

Is this really true? Because I have no issues building hives far underground. It says "no outside access", but they seem to function just fine :/

Gives bees some penalties if they can't reach the outside, though given their buggy state not much science has been done

Beekeeping has a known bug, haha. It happens when you build more than one hive before the last is filled. Basically, both hives can generate a job to grab bees from the same wild colony. Only the first succeeds, but the other hive doesn't reset to grab from another colony or full hive. Look at the hives to determine which are empty, deconstruct those, rebuild and fill one at a time.

The advice pertains to an older version of DF, but perhaps you might find this helpful:
