[Feathers everywhere!]

A possible solution could be that no more than three can spawn before the player has the ability to harvest them. While I think that the rate that they spawn should stay the same, there should be a limit on how many can be spawned at once.

[Apiphobia Option]

I feel like the Grounded playerbase will grow if an apiphobia option was added in the accessability settings. It could work similar to the arachnophobia option, but would affect bees instead of spiders. I have apiphobia myself, and I would certainly be more at ease if this was added in a future update.
