Yeah I posted on the minecraftforum thread and figured that out from the replies there. The alveary is in a chunkloaded area on a server, but apparently it somehow was affected by that bug. :/

Amber bees will give you orange dye, but it's a bunch of work unless you already have a bunch of breeding done. :p

Just out of curiosity, has anyone been able to breed the bleached bee? From what I've read, it's supposed to be wintry + valiant at a 5% chance, but I've tried twice now in my cheaty mutator filled alveary and not gotten it, it doesn't even consume the 2 uranium I used, which should make it a...

Oh wow, this will make my metal bee product processing plant a lot more compact. Should be easy to switch to this from my current system too. :D

I've heard that conduits cap out at 500 MJ/t, haven't tested it myself though.

Oh, and the trees that didn't bonemeal are either 2x2 or 3x3 trees. The meranti is a 2x2 tree.

It's the Yellow Meranti tree that you're looking for.

Glad it's working! It kinda seems a bit weird at first, but it's actually really handy to have it only light up when you actually need the drone, not just when there's room. :)

Do you have a princess in the alveary? Missing drone only lights up if there is a princess but no drone inside the alveary. That's the only other reason I can think of for it not working for you. If that doesn't work I wouldn't mind seeing a picture or 2 of your setup, I've been working at...

Missing drone works with alvearies, are you sure you have it set up properly? That's what I use to get my drones back into my alvearies.

I'm using a combination of buildcraft/redpower atm for my alvearies atm. I will probably engineer my bees to only give 1 drone once I have a bunch of dna made, that makes it really easy to automate. I'm sure you could do it with only redpower, but it's a lot easier to sort with the apiarists...

And if anyone's interested in my setup, here's pics, it works really well if you can get the drone into the alveary.. lol.

^lol. Figured it out, the alveary accepts drones from north and south but not east and west. Very strange, not sure if it's a bug or what. Guess I'll have to route my tubes around the side. ..I thought I had checked sending into another side, apparently I hadn't. Oh well, problem solved...

And that helps me how?

Does anyone know if there are issues with redpower tubes and alvearies? Basically, I have buildcraft pipes to pull everything out when the queen dies, and send the items to my processing station, bounce the princess back in, and put the drones into a chest/barrel. I then have another pipe that...

It's actually a batbox, and I don't use those machines that often since I have a small auto macerating/smelting system that takes care of most of my needs.

Yeah, initially they were in chests, he removed them from chests once they were breedable. Balsa is only a couple mutations into the breeding, not super hard to get.

Pics of my current base, still heavily WIP. (spoilered since it's a bunch of pictures) Would love suggestions, I didn't include a lot of pictures of machines since they're all a mess right now.
