Getting Started (Forestry - Beekeeping)

Hello aspiring beekeepers! This is a basic guide on how to get started with bees!

Firstly, you are going to need a scoop, the crafting recipe is as follows:

Next, you will have to find hives. These are easy to find at night, as they emit light. Break these (with the scoop) and you will get a princess, drone and sometimes a comb.

Next, you will need an apiary. For this you will need an Impregnated Casing.

Casing

Apiary

Now, put your drone in the bottom slot of it, and princess in the top. The apiary needs sunlight, and no rain. It also needs different flower's per bee. I'll let you figure those out for yourself. Now, what are those three slots for? Frames! Frames will improve bee product rate. There are 3 types of frames.

Untreated Frames

Each adds a 20% boost to production.

Impregnated Frames

Adds a 20% boost to production. Lasts longer.

Proven Frame

Bought from Beekeeper Villages. Adds a 20% boost to production. Lasts even longer.

Now, to analyse your bees, you will need a Beealyzer! Recipe is as follows:

Put Honey Drops in one slot and bees in the other.

Now, you're probably wondering what to do with those combs your bee's are producing. You run them through a machine called a centrifuge. It takes MJ to run. Recipe is as follows:

Just put your honey combs in and you're ready to go.

Have Fun!
