If you've got info on the new features, please post it here. Better than everything spread out in a bunch of different threads.
Beekeeping:
Two new labors: Beekeeping under Farming/related and Wax Working under Crafts.
Hives are built in a Crafts workshop (from rock or wood), a Kiln (from clay), a Forge (from any metal, under Other Objects), or a Glass furnace (any glass).
Hives are currently the last entry in the (b)uild menu, Alt+h, and are placed by a beekeeper. Hives must be in or adjacent to an outdoor floor tile to be usable, fortifications do not work (even built ones from b-C-F that (k) as outside tiles), anything built above the hive does not negate outside access (definite bug, probably related to farms doing the same, don't expect it to work forever).
Empty hives spawn fill jobs, your beekeeper will grab either a wild colony and place it in the hive, or split one of your already collected ones if it's ready to be split.
(q)uery over a built hive gives the toggle options (c) Install colony when ready and (g) Gather from hive.
Toggle gathering to save a hive from gathering, it will then split to fill empty hives after an amount of time.
I haven't gotten to harvest a hive yet, so I can't tell past this.
Nests for egg laying are made by the same workshops as hives, and are built from the base build menu. Female tame birds will claim a nest for themselves to lay eggs in automatically, keep enough nests for all your female birds.
Please expand if you have more information.
