So this is something I've thought of for a long time and thought would be really useful. Just haven't had ways to put it into words much yet, but I believe with the new garden system in place, something like bees can be done a similar way. I know that there are some potential hard bits about it with different flavors, but I feel that is far less of an annoyance than all the modifiers that one can get for a garden. When I had bees, it was always a bit hard to get a consistent supply for multiple reasons and a majority were from me being a bit forgetful or tired and saying I'll do it later.
Anyways, I think it could overall be beneficial as where there are bees, there tend to be gardens.
Just bumping this
Honestly would be really nice to have... At least from the player side of things. I've had a lot of issue getting the materials from bee harvesting myself even, and if the new method for gardens is easier to do for staff it might be good to consider something. Mind the bee system /has/ improved at the very least, just with the recent change it could be something to take advantage of for all parties potentially
