To answer your question in regards as to whether it could be a money printer…. originally i did very well on it and got myself to a healthy position and then came the ridiculous waits for the Hive to be triggered, i had 94 bees, 110 bees, 125 bees and worst of all 137 bees as i said above, the costs involved in these cycles were astronomical but i plodded on because overall i was in a good position. Sometimes the long waits were accompanied by terrible swarms, i am talking 50x so that was a double whammy of disaster lol
My verdict is it was once very good but may now have been patched to take into account the small stake build up and play out accordingly, saying that, i have still managed first bee triggers and the swarm i had on a recent video actually triggered on the 4th bee so yes, it can still pay but yes it can also be a dangerous little bastard!
