I am attempting to create a bee farm that produces both honey and honeycomb.

5 hives are set up to produce honeycomb, and 5 are set up to produce honey bottles.

The dispenser will trigger and collect the honeycomb every single time, even though there is only one pair of shears in each dispenser.

The dispenser will trigger but will NOT always choose the slot with the empty bottles in it, which then causes it to never trigger again because the hive is not reset. The only way for me to fix this is to break a piece of redstone and put it back.

I tried to work around this by filling the dispenser with empty bottles in all nine slots, but then of course it just throws the honey bottle on the floor. Attempting to leave one slot open for honey bottles will then cause the dispenser to sometimes pick the honey bottle to dispense, which throws it on the ground and then never triggers the dispenser again.

In addition, if there is a slot with a honey bottle in it already, the dispenser does NOT treat it like they can be stacked, and ejects subsequent harvests.
