It would be nice to see compatibility with Thermal's Hive Hopper. Their current implementation checks the level property of vanilla beehives and resets the level, simulating an extraction. This results in effective duplication of outputs, as the advanced beehive still outputs to its internal honeycomb inventory , and duplication of honey fluid too if bottles are present in the slot. There are two options for compatibility here that I see: Either the advanced beehive could skip its item/bottling behaviour if the hopper is below, or it could avoid using the honey level property to track its state so that the hive hopper does not "extract" from it.

Last time I check it does not work with advanced hives at all. I did a PR for Thermal for it, but he said he was gonna rewrite it anyway, so kind of waiting for that to happen.

On second look that code wouldn't apply to the advanced bee hives... Yet it is generating items and fluids for it in my world 🤔 ...Looking at the current build JAR it appears it was migrated to check for the property as you had wanted. So now it's just an issue of duplication heh.

He fixed, nice. I was looking at some old code then. It looks like the Hive Hopper checks the honey level every tick while I check every 23 ticks and fill a bottle from that. The duplication should only happen if the hive is filled on a tick that I hit, which is unlikely. The comb production from the bees is not affected by the honey level at all, they leave a comb behind when they leave as well as increase the honey level.
I don't think I need to change anything with how it's working.
