I don't know if ANYONE has ever gotten the apiary to work correctly. So this may or may not be a bug with Hearthfire but I think it is, and even if it isn't, its still quite interesting. I do have all the DLC and the following mods installed in case it matters: SKSE (latest version for 1.9), SkyUI, Realistic Lighting Overhaul, Skyrim HD-Full, and W.A.T.E.R. Back to the story: Lately I've been traveling between Hjierim (fully furnished with children's bedroom) and Lakeview Manor, so I can move my stuff and get everything in the new house fully furnished before I have my kids go there live there. Every once in a while when I play Skyrim, I get bored of doing whatever it is I was doing, and decide to make a save, and then go on a rampage, killing NPCs, and messing with console commands. So today, I was inside my living room at Hjierim and decided to try and see if Samuel (second kid I adopted, first was Lucia), would dual-wield the enchanted Elven daggers I was going to give him. I failed, probably because its impossible lol. So then he started to attack the dummy for fun, like always. This time, I accidentally got in the way of his enchanted slash, and I received Fortify Persuasion from The Gift of Charity for one minute. I decided to save, and then go on a rampage. I killed Lucia's pet snow fox, and then proceeded to chase the children around the house with my Ebony dagger of <8 points health drain enchantment name here.> Ysolda, my spouse got pretty upset, so I tried using setessential <baseID> 0, so I could kill her, to no avail (I think she has some weird thing with her Ref IDs and Base IDs being messed up, not Hearthfire's fault or the mods). Everyone, including my housecarl, is running around screaming for help and to get out of there, but I didn't see anybody leave (though I was having so much fun, I probably just didn't notice if one of them snuck away for a second). Next a Windhelm guard appears IN MY HOUSE, and tries to arrest me. I tell her to go away because I got the Jarl's thaneship, and she's like ok w/e, you're only assaulting children and your wife with a dagger, no biggie. A few minutes later (I'm still attacking them, I thought I had read somewhere male children will eventually attack you if you attack them continuously), another guard shows up, and this time I tell that he should look the other way because I'm with the Thieves Guild. Sorry for this being so long, I'm putting as much detail in as possible for how interesting this thing was, and for me being unable to leave anything out. Sometime shortly after that guard leaves, or he came, I got an animated scene of me slicing the Windhelm Housecarl's neck. Either there was a second guard in my house, or he came in later, but what happens next is the most interesting part of the whole thing. A guard appears, yelling to "stop right there" and then their generic "I'm gonna kill you" dialogue when in combat. However, nothing happened to me, I instead see this guard chasing SAMUEL down the stairs! Samuel's running away, yelling "GET AWAY!" but this guard won't let up. It gets worse, much worse. I've heard of that glitch in cities before, but keep in mind, this is all taking place inside my very home. I'll need to change all of my locks after this. The guard then switches weapons, he pulls out a the staff of Jyrik Galdurson! REALLY???? He starts to chase Samuel around with it, and fire shocks at him! Well I'm so mad that he stole from my chest upstairs (thats where the staff was) that I just decide to kill this guy. I loot his body, and can pick up the staff and use it and everything! Once that guard is dead, everything goes back to normal I'm assuming the timer on your kids being scared of you for beating them has run out, since I was so entranced by the guard, and trying to kill the other adults in the room, that it had been awhile. I'm in the process of editing a video I recorded of it, but only the last part with the guard, since that was what freaked me out, if you need proof. I'll update this post when its done.
