==== Description ====
A beehive is a structure that houses a colony of bees. When damaged or destroyed, it spawns multiple bees that will attack the hero. Beehives are typically immobile structures that can be found in various dungeon levels.

==== Abilities ====
  * **Bee Spawning**: When damaged, spawns 1 bee at a time (from 3-8 total possible bees)
  * **Final Swarm**: When destroyed, releases remaining bees (if any) - 3-8 total bees possible
  * **Immobilization**: Cannot move from its location
  * **Bee Limit**: Starts with 3-8 total bees that can be spawned (randomly determined)

==== Behavior ====
  * **AI State**: Passive (does not actively seek targets)
  * **Movement Type**: Normal (as a mob type, but doesn't move)
  * **Can be a pet**: No
  * **Flying**: No
  * **Movable**: No (immobile structure)
  * **Special Behavior**: When damaged or destroyed, activates BeeSpawner script to generate bees
  * **Bee Generation**: Randomly determines 3-8 total bees to potentially spawn at the start
  * **Spawn Limit**: Once the predetermined number of bees is spawned, no more bees are generated
  * **Cell Selection**: Spawns bees in an empty adjacent cell (using emptyCellNextTo())

==== Drops ====
  * Beehives have a 0% chance to drop items

==== Strategy ====
  * Beehives are not threatening by themselves, but approaching one can trigger bee spawns
  * If you need to fight near a beehive, consider taking it out quickly to prevent multiple bees from spawning
  * Be careful when using area-of-effect attacks near beehives, as they can trigger multiple bee spawns
  * The final swarm when the hive is destroyed can overwhelm unprepared heroes
  * Beehives only spawn a predetermined number (3-8) of bees, so they're not an infinite source
  * Each time the beehive is damaged, it spawns 1 bee (if any remaining bees to spawn)
  * When destroyed, any remaining bees (if any) are released all at once
  * Bee spawning uses the emptyCellNextTo() method, so bees appear in adjacent empty cells
  * Bees are set to "Hunting" AI state when spawned, so they'll immediately target nearby enemies
