Summary0003979: Hives immediately fill with thousands of bees.
DescriptionI tried building some stone hives in the mountains. I haven't seen any wild beehives, so I wasn't expecting much, just wanted to try it out. When I checked in later, the hive contained 12208 live honey bees. I tried building a few more hives, and sure enough some of them also had well over 11000 bees in them. Is this normal...?
Steps To ReproduceBuild stone hives, and place them. Wait for a bit and check back on em.

I just noticed a dwarf with "install colony into hive" job, who is sitting around in a outdoors area. Are natural colonies invisible? If this is the case then this was expected behavior.

This seems intentional.

Wild hives look like ant mounds.

Dwarves carry that many bees over from a bee colony (check their inventory when they're coming back), so that seems normal.

What does NOT really seem normal is that when I watched a dwarf split a hive, the original hive had the same bee population that it did before, and the new hive ALSO had that population.

I think the problem was I just couldn't see the native bee hives.

See 0003981 for the install job never completing (dwarf standing around in the middle of nowhere).

They are kind of hard to spot, the little circles. Reading the comments I'm assuming this one is resolved.
