Once your queen bee is at home producing the workforce and there is plenty of plants to procure nectar from, it's time to reap the benefits.

'''Examining''' an apiary will present you with information regarding the colony:
*Resources: goes from 0 to 100, and reflects how much nectar the bees have currently stored.
*Resources towards a cell: in percentage points, reflects how much of the needed nectar for honeycomb production has been harvested.
*Resources towards a bee: in percentage points, reflects how much of the needed nectar for a new bee has been harvested. Always half of a honeycomb.
*Total honeycombs: How many honeycombs are currently in the Apiary. If this line isn't present, there are none.

Bees are half as cheap for an hive to produce than a honeycomb, and though their production is based on chance, it is very likely for a hive to overproduce bees as long as they have room for more. 
The maximum number of bees a hive can support is half the maximum number of honeycombs. Since each honeycomb frame can support 10 honeycomb clusters, and each apiary can house 3 frames, the maximum number of bees is either 5, 10 or 15, and the maximum number of honeycombs is 10, 20 or 30. <br>For early honey production, it is advised to put just one frame in the apiary.

To harvest honey, simply remove a honeycomb frame. Each honeycomb cluster provides 5 units of honey once processed in a grinder.
