I can't seem to get Bee Keeping going >.< I have a Hive, as well as natural hive inside my fort at the moment(And they are outside, no roof) I have an artificial hive next to the natural one and nothing is happening o.o No moving of colonies, no combs inside the hive, nothing. What am I doing wrong? D:
Beekeeping, being a new profession based on a recent sponsorship animal is still pretty buggy.
When you build artificial hives a dwarf with the beekeeping labour will go and fetch a wild colony from the map and install it, this works fine. Once the hive is big enough to split it should be a viable target for collection and installation in an empty hive (this is why you prevent product gathering, to let them split).
Where the bug appears is that if say you embark on a map with 2 natural colonies and immediately build three artificial hives you will have problems. 2 will be installed and then your beekeeper will stand on the spot of the last natural hive with the 'install colony' job and do nothing till he is interrupted by hunger/thirst/sleep. This repeats pretty much forever. If you think this is whats happening then dismantle any hives empty of bees and rebuild them. They should then get that its transfers between artificial hives that are now the thing.
From your description though it almost seems like you dont have a free beekeeper since you have a natural hive still to collect. It seems to be a pretty low prioritised job so maybe try killing off hauling on the dwarf in question for a bit
