Replaced two conveyor belts with motors and fluid rationers
Honey generator:
Conveyors -> Motor & Fluid Rationer

Turbo Honey Generator
Conveyors-> Large Motor & Fluid Raioner
Even if there are no changes in the machine's overlays when it's active, you still must include `*_active.png`'s, otherwise when machine operate it will have missing textures on sides

There is no point in adding new type of generators for every type of fluid that could be used somehow to generate eu.
We rather add some way to convert honey into biofuel or something that diesel generator can consume. Diesel already has single block and multiblock variants and not limited with 2k eu\t output per machine

It's good to have multiple options! If the suggestion I made about adding a honey to ethanol distillation recipe is added as well, players can choose between using a honey generator for convenience or doing an extra processing chain with extra inputs for significantly more power.

I mostly wanted to add this because it's funny to have bees running on a treadmill to generate power, thus the recipe of
image. However, it also has the side benefit of making beekeeping setups self-powered - you can run your apiary and centrifuge in a self-contained setup that's powered by the honey it produces, rather than putting extra strain on your main power grid.

The maximum power output per machine is unlikely to be a problem, because running a generator at 2048eu/t with a fuel efficiency of 256eu/mb would take 8mb/t of honey, but centrifuging one honeycomb makes 150mb of honey over 15s, or 0.5mb/t. This means that maxing out a single HV honey generator would take a centrifuge overclocked to 16x, consuming just over one honeycomb per second. Honey production is the bottleneck, not your capacity to consume it.

Edit: I see the recipe's been tweaked, can I suggest replacing the top left bee and middle left conveyor with the motor and fluid rationer instead of two conveyors, to preserve the visual gag?
