Honey farm/Snippet

Honey farm is a common constellation of four beehives and is one of the familiar fours.

There are many predecessors to a honey farm, which can be hassled in different ways to give a large number of honey farm hasslers and honey farm shuttles. The smallest predecessors have six cells.

A honey farm can be made from one beehive by placing a cell in the corner of it (making a bun), at the tip of it, or inside it. It also evolves from 7 cells placed in a row.

When one particular generation of the honey farm sequence is sparked with a dot or domino spark in a specific location, or more commonly, is eaten by an eater 1, it releases a glider in addition to junk in the form of an interacting wing and lumps of muck. By itself, the reaction destroys the eater, but the junk can be manipulated to provide useful patterns, such as the Snark, 45-degree MWSS-to-G, and the smallest guns of many periods.
