This guide will teach the basics to beekeeping in forestry.

Harvesting bees
Bees can be harvested with a Scoop. A scoop only has a small amount of durability, so it can only be used to harvest a few hives. A scoop is made with six sticks and one piece of any colored wool.

Scoop
Bee hives spawn in most biomes overworld and in the End. Extra Bees also adds a few extra hives which spawn in the overworld and nether. Hives emit a small amount of light which can be helpful when harvesting bee hives at night. It is very dangerous to harvest hives at night unless it is on Peaceful mode.

Bee house
A Bee House is a very easy item to craft early game. It allows bees to produce bee products without the possibility of mutating. An Apiary is the more advanced version of a bee house, which allows the input bees to mutate. Bees can produce a large variety of products. Most bees usually only produce combs, but a small handful also produce other items.

GUI
The GUI has several features. The bee progress bar is at the far left; it will bee grey when there are no bees using the machine. Next to the bee progress bar is the princess/queen and drone slots, where the player can input their bees. The top slot is for princesses and queens, while the bottom is for drones only. The slots that are shaped like honey comb is where the bee products are stored. As the bee progress bar shrinks and changes from green to red the bee will create bee products. Those bee products will slowly start popping up in the honey comb section. The last section of the GUI is the status.
