Bee Keeper 1.0.3

Bee Keeper

Command bees with deadly precision — swarm enemies, harvest honeycombs, toss bee grenades, or deploy permanent hives. It’s not exactly war, but it’s a stingingly fun utility.

Attention Oxide Server Owners!

Be sure to install the Carbon Aliases extension for cross-compatibility with Carbon plugins!

Carbon Aliases Oxide Extension allows plugins originally made for Carbon to run seamlessly on Oxide servers. This ensures smooth cross-engine operation and maximizes plugin flexibility.
