Up to three frames can be placed in any Apiary, or one in a Frame Housing Alveary block. Apiarist Villagers will trade 24-26 logs for Apiaries, two wheat for a random comb, one princess for an emerald, and one emerald for six Proven Frames.įrames are fairly easy to make, needing only a Carpenter and Seed Oil at most. One easy way to acquire some Apiaries and other useful materials is to find a Village with a resident Apiarist. The Apiarist Database, which tracks which species have been acquired is useful but not mandatory to begin. A Beealyzer is highly recommended it is not possible to see what genetic traits each bee is carrying without one, and it will reveal important information such as climate and flower needed. To begin breeding bees, one Apiary, a selection of wild bees, and at least one of their preferred 'flower' is required.

Each type of wild Beehive spawns in specific biome(s). A Scoop, Thaumium Scoop, Mining Laser, Vajra, Quarry or Wand of Excavation is necessary to extract the bees - breaking a hive with anything else will drop nothing.

Bees can be harvested from glowing beehives which spawn naturally in the world.

Bee breeding (also known as Apiculture ) is a mechanism introduced in Forestry, used to create new types of Bee Species from old ones.
