The hybrid princess can be reused. To purify it or change its species, you just need to re-breed with a stack of drones or (if you have the Extra Bees machines) inject it with a species serum. Hives are pretty much the only way to get completely new princesses though. With Extra Bees, you often...

That is probably from Thaumic Bees. A relatively recent update added several metal/mineral bees including an iron bee.

Find a new hive princess and then use your perfect drones to clone it into a perfect princess using the method outlined above by Bomb Bloke; then inoculate one drone and this new princess with the new species serum. This will give you a perfect pair for the new species.

Quoting the mod author on MCF:

Any of the basic production boosters: untreated, impregnated, or proven. Since they all give the same production boost (only difference is how long they last), generally people just use untreated in an automated setting. Sengir has recently contemplated changing this though.

First you use an Isolator on some cultivated bees (they have a good chance of disappearing during this process so best to use excess drones) to get the Cultivated Species serum. Then you run that through a Synthesizer and Purifier to increase the number of charges and quality of the serum...

This is a really useful little tool, but I'm having some trouble with the species lookup on the spreadsheet. It seems that the species names on the Bee List all have leading spaces so to get the products to show up they have to be entered the same way on the main page. i.e. entering "Distilled...

Note that in the newest version of MFR the multiple-enchant on books thing has been fixed.

You can report Thaumic Bees bugs on the MCF topic for it; the author seems pretty active there.

Based on Saice's golem testing, golem radius is 9 blocks (15 if they have perceptive core) plus another 3 if you give them the glasses upgrade.

Take a look at Milaha's Bee Math topic. There's a spreadsheet linked in the OP to do the production calculations; you can also read through the thread for background and additional details.

If you can use tubes for your setup, just have the turtle drop items into a relay. Relays are valid inventories which automatically (i.e. no blutricity or redstone signal needed) eject their contents into an attached tube.

Just ran a quick test in Ultimate 1.0.1 SSP; both squids and ocelots can be captured in safari nets and spawned with the auto-spawner:

Quest rams can be captured in the safari net and then put into an MFR auto spawner, making the Crumble Horn renewable on packs with both MFR & Twilight Forest. See http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/1c672f/decided_to_do_some_experimenting_with_the_safari/

There are VoxelMap topics at both the voxelbox forum and on MCF; no idea if either is more "official" though. The waypoints are stored within your vanilla minecraft installation (%APPDATA%\.minecraft\mods\VoxelMods\voxelMap\). The author has discussed both the IP-specific waypoints and waypoint...

I'm about 95% sure. On SMP, I created a bunch of "super bees" which had largest territory, maximum flowering, etc. as a base. Then I gave one set "Magic Flowers" preference to create some Shimmerleaf & Cinderpearl and another set "Lily Pad" preference to generate some of those. I planted my...

Yes, only certain types of pollination work for tree breeding. If your bees have Lily Pad pollination (the default for Water bees) they won't interact with the trees. Bees that pollinate Flowers and Mushrooms both work; I haven't done any testing to see if anything else works though.

Your bee house needs to be within 5 blocks of the node or some such really short distance. Move the alveary down so that it's pretty much right next to it. EDIT: Found the source for the 5 block distance...

Where are your bees located? The first time I tried breeding Sipiri it was taking forever as well. I eventually decided that the leaves might be out of range given the height of Kapok & Meranti. After moving my apiaries up to a floating platform at leaf level, things went much quicker. On my...
