Beehives

Post » Wed May 30, 2012 6:37 am

Ok, so one of my self-given quests in the game is to become a master of alchemy. Not just getting to 100 skill in alchemy or getting perks, but of finding and mastering all the ingredients. Now I've found these ingredients: bees, honeycombs and beehive husks in alchemy shops and in random loot. I also found one beehive randomly in the wild, in The Rift hold, that had all three ingredients in it.

Every other ingredient I have found plenty of, but I just can't seem to find more beehives. Anyone know of locations where I can find beehives?

Every beehive I have come across has been near a bearcave, and usually they are lots of them together.

Try the area around Honeystrand Cave, south of Ivarstead ;)

The barrels in Riften outside sometime spawn with 3x honeycomb in them. I've never seen a harvestable beehive though, if you find a good spot it would be awesome if you could post it here.

Also, the Thieves Guild questline had me light 3 of 6 beehives on fire at the Goldenglow Estate.

West of Whiterun, past the small mountain in the plains, there is an area with a few dead trees where I found a beehive. Other than that /shrug

Wrong kind of beehive. You can only collect ingredients from natural beehives, not artificial ones.

Well that stinks. I didn't even notice, I did that mission in the dark of night at a low-level, so I was just trying to get out of there as fast as possible.

West of Riften close to the mountain is a bear cave, and it has one before you go in.


Edit: I think it's near Ivarstead, also the bandit camp near Helgen has one.
