## Mechanics

!(https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/0577e49c-045e-4a87-aaca-ba4d3fa651d0) !(https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/4558b370-c3b0-4d07-8981-fe5ec66e2741) Beecons

Beacons with a honey block staining their beam become beecons, which affect both players and bees.

Bees are also now affected by more status effects!

Haste: Bees process honey in hives faster.

Strength: Bees inflict Poison II, or Wither II at level II.

Resistance/Regeneration: In addition to the base effects, bees will only take minor damage regrowing their stingers.

Speed: Bees fly more erratically, and debatably faster.

If you're extra worried about bee welfare, (https://modrinth.com/mod/feed-the-bees) allows bees to always regrow their stingers for minor damage, and adds direct healing via sugar.

Beacon bases can also be made
