Ingredients

1-3^{(DG) DB} guaranteed samples can be found at the following locations:

• 1 outside of Honeystrand Cave (The Rift)
• 1 on a shelf near the vat in the main room of Redwater Den^DG (The Rift)
• 1 in Frossel ^DB

This ingredient is not in the VendorItemIngredient category that allows it to be traded by apothecary merchants (see bugs).

The only way to make this ingredient become available from apothecary merchants is to unlock the Merchant perk (requires level 50 Speech), at which point it is a "common" ingredient.

Remaining ways to obtain already-harvested beehive husks all have relatively low probabilities. The best bets are:

• Peddlers may be randomly encountered in the wilderness (typically being attacked). These peddlers have a 25% chance of carrying 1-5 samples.
• Vaermina devotees have a 3% chance of carrying one.
• All types of apothecary's satchels as well as pots hanging from cooking spits have a 3% chance of containing one.
• Warlocks have a 0.9% chance of carrying one.

Plants

A map of all beehives in Skyrim's overworld, with vacant beehives in red.

Husks can be harvested from both beehives and vacant beehives. There are 27 hives found in 21 different locations. Locations with multiple hives are:

• 4 around Honeystrand Cave (The Rift)
• 2 centered 300 ft NW of Halldir's Cairn (Falkreath Hold) (map)
• 2 centered 390 ft SSE of the Guardian Stones (Falkreath Hold) (map)
• 2 around Redoran's Retreat (Whiterun Hold)

Notes

• The base magnitude of the Resist Poison effect for this ingredient is 2 instead of 4. This is only relevant if a beehive husk and a thistle branch are combined, in which case the resulting potion will have a 50% smaller magnitude than a typical custom Resist Poison potion.
• Wild beehives are actually little containers, so they do not benefit from the Green Thumb perk. They also don't respawn, since they're not set to do so.
  • Of the three beehive ingredients, beehive husks are most affected by the lack of respawning; bees will continue to spawn around looted beehives, while honeycomb can be found in common ingredient barrels.

Bugs

• This ingredient cannot normally be bought from apothecary merchants, even though it should be available according to their merchandise leveled lists. It also cannot be sold to apothecary merchants; it can only be sold to general goods merchants.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.2, fixes this bug.
