0004003: Cannot make bumblebee mead
The custom reaction MAKE_MEAD is hardcoded to use honey bee honey (CREATURE_MAT:HONEY_BEE:HONEY), so it is not possible to make bumblebee mead (from bumblebee honey). Changing said reagent's material to NONE:NONE and adding [HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:DRINK_MAT] would permit the reaction to be used for making booze from any type of liquid ingredient.
No tags attached.

Given 0003990, actually obtaining bumblebee honey is probably easier said than done...

Bumblebee honey is supposed to be harvestable, since bumblebees don't have "ARTIFICIAL_HIVEABLE" or whichever tag is on honey bees. As far as I could tell, bumblebees just don't leave a lot of honey in the hive in real life, and if you generalize the mead reaction that much, the name of it would be too specific.

edit: I think I meant unharvestable there.
