I have found an easy way to make a honey farm. It is just a beehive with a corner

I'll 3up you on that. ☾ Here's a collection of common natural honey farm precedessors, organized according to the three main paths of development:

(You can see here that the pattern you posted — known as bun — is indeed a major intermediate.)

Also, it may amuse you to note thay you can also get a fleet (4 ships) from a ship by adding one cell, as well as traffic light (4 blinkers) from a blinker by adding one cell:

x = 15, y = 4, rule = B3/S23

Interesting. I did not know that. That is cool that if you add a cell to things you will get 4 of them. I found the honey farm maker while messing around with colliding gliders with random things

[Ker26Gage18]

Hmmm.... Better try this one.

[Jose1212Sam]

Way cool. I like what you have discovered.
