A few people have suggested automation, so I am starting to consider it, honestly. Also, the jar filling up slowly was a recent change because it used to fill up too fast; I still need to tweak it somewhat.
Nice to hear. I forgot to add this in the original comment but getting to the later stages of weight doesn't really feel worth it with how slow you become and how slowly you deposit your honey as well. I actually ended up spending an entire day just trying to fatten up the bee and ended up not having enough time to put away all of the honey I got from it. I think a more in game (non score related) reward should be done for higher weights, a honey multiplier maybe?
