> The first map shown is a gloriously efficient honey farming operation: you have to plant a flower within the beehive’s radius, and you have to be able to walk up to the beehive, so this layout meets those rules, while doing so in a way that’s pleasing to the eye.
Not sure if you're referring to the same map I'm seeing first:

It looks to me like there are a number of beehives that can't be accessed. Also some of them may be a bit far from the flowers.
EDIT: Additionally, when collecting from the beehives on the inside you would be more or less guaranteed to pull up your flowers on accident once they were full grown.
- STRML 7y agoAssuming that you can access them diagonally -- not 100% if this is so - that layout should work.
- floatingatoll 7y agoYou can, yes.
- Raphmedia 7y agoI believe you can walk on flowers without damaging them.
- excalibur 7y agoYou can, it's just very difficult to grab items from several surrounding squares without accidentally grabbing the flower as well. The more you do it, the more likely you are to mess it up.
- floatingatoll 7y agoThere’s a 1.4 change that stops you from trying to eat fruit when feeding jars, as long as you keep the button held down as you move. I wonder if it’ll be fixed for crops vs. machines someday.
- floatingatoll 7y agoYeah, I have nowhere near enough control to manage that. I typically surround my centerpiece flower with 8 hives for the full season and accept inefficiency.
