HydeCo Bees! Cultivated Beehive Mod Guide

*CURRENTLY BUGGED*
It looks nice but probably wont work properly just yet. further testing required.

*KNOWN BUGS*
- will not consume bait correctly and change sprites from empty to full.
- in the console when you are 75 tiles away it will say "Honey Bee Captured" but upon returning to the hive it will not have been updated with the bait remaining and the bee non existent essentially bricking the item and making it useless.. for now..
