[Beta 2A] Farms, Beehive Collectors, Fisheries gone from research tree

I've been playing through the new beta and it seems that either farms, beehive collectors, and fisheries have been moved WAAAAAYYYYYYYY (and I mean way, like past lvl 3 cities) down the tech tree or are just totally gone. I can hardly believe that this would be intentional and wonder if I just didn't get far enough down the tree to get there. It seems absurd that I can build libraries and palaces before I can even fish or farm or collect honey.

What they did was move farms and such down to the "Food Gathering" tech, I don't have the name memorized, but it is something along those lines. The techs those buildings used to be in appear to still be in the game, but act only as stepping stones to later techs because their buildings were moved

Farming comes after the tech that grants gardens. Apiaries and Orchards have always been fairly rare techs though (there's only a small chance they'll be an option on a breakthrough).

It took me a while to realize that some parts of the tech tree being visible is based on chance. In my latest game I was 500 moves in and way up the tech tree before getting an apiary. This could be made clearer to the player.
