The isolator runs purely off of MJs (up to 50mj/t iirc) and extracts the traits of bees as serums with a chance to kill the bees and puts it into serum vials, made from royal jelly, glass panes, and gold. Because of this, only drones should be used for isolating. The resulting serums will be...

I find that an efficiency 4 rock cutter is enough for my silk touch needs, it never runs out of juice either when I'm wearing my advanced nano.

I assume what he means by a steam engine is a steam turbine; however, the engine to magma crucible method yields more EU.

Novelty bee species that you get for doing things like cooking certain species in a furnace, or soaking them in oil.

I'm surprised you've gotten so far without actually knowing other ways to get iridium. If you've "finished" extra bees, the best method would be to create a couple alvearies with valuable bees that you inoculate with fastest productivity, strong flyer and nocturnal traits. Put the platinum...

You should use beehives.

Looks like I was wrong. That's my bad.

You could probably pump all the items into the chest and have two wooden transport pipes connected to it. On one, put an autarchic gate set to if redstone signal on, energy pulse. On the other, attach an autarchic iron or gate and set one parameter to if redstone signal on, energy pulse, and the...

Rainstorms and thunderstorms are two separate events. Thunderstorms have lightning and thunder (duh) and are darker. Simply having rain isn't enough for the lightning rod, it only operates during a thunderstorm.

It will has the chance to produce energy during a thunderstorm, not a normal rainstorm. Actually getting hit by lightning has no effect on the lightning rod whatsoever.

You should check the wiki next time, there is a list of bee species by lifespan. The easiest one to get would be rocky bees.

You can use portal guns to pick up and move the end crystals.

Doesn't cooking ore with rich slag in an induction smelter/furnace triple the output? Or was that removed in 1.5?

With a name like tile.oreCopper.8, that's probably a safe bet :p Probably should have mentioned that those were just mockups thrown together in creative. The method for acquiring the hives works in survival though. I've only just started collecting them in my creative world. Swarmer hives...

You can just toss compressed air cells into your crafting grind and turn them into normal cells that way, no need to waste energy on an extractor.

Could you upload some screenshots of your setup as well as the inside of your apiary?

A nice row of stone brick slabs along the edge could work wonders. It would also match your "foundation." I find that whenever I have a flat roof, a little greebling with slabs is the best way to go.

All puns aside, they really do. For those of you who don't know, swarmer hives are beehives that spawn in the world when you place a swarmer in an alveary and provide it with royal jelly or aromatic lumps. They basically look like brown versions of your average beehive, and just like other...

If you're just starting out with bees, an insanely easy way to make apiarist clothing without having to deal with tropical bees is by uncrafting string into silk wisps, each string gives you three.

Perhaps the apiarys are on the edge of a chunk, with the autarchic gates outside the chunk?
