Fuel? Also, what can you use the liquid honey in there for? Is it the same as forestry honey?
Am I the Only One that Prefers EBXL over BoP?

ExtrabiomesXL used to be pretty good, but then the developer handed it over to some other guy and it's turned to crap from there (ugly autumn trees, those awful blue jungle trees). Personally, I prefer Biomes O Plenty, it's textures look much more vanilla like, the majority of biomes emulate the real British countryside (which I love), and there's a handy config for what you want and don't want. Also, when you compare it to 1.7 biomes, they both look highly similar (I believe Mojang took a lot of inspiration from it).
I prefer vanilla worldgen above any other. All in all at the end of the day you want somewhere in the "triangle zone" of different biomes to set up base and these mods make that very hard. I'm playing with ATG atm but I'm going to change to a normal map. At first ATG seemed amazing, the hills and mountains, the world looks amazing and realistic. The problem is.. there's very few biomes. I went 10 minutes in every direction of spawn in creative and was still in the same biome. Finally found a mini 50x50ish desert biome and settled nearby just to have something different to look at now and again.
I prefer BoP because the biomes in general look better. There are some biomes I just hate, though. Cherry Orchards and Jade Cliffs annoy me the most, but there are several others I don't like.
As for those talkling about how ATG is "all the same biome", I'm not seeing it. I just started a new "Tech World 2" game & went into creative to explore and within 500 blocks of spawn I've come across the following biomes...
Grassland (spawn, with 9 IC2 rubber trees right there), Shrubland, Woodland, Spruce Woods, Frost Forest, Volcano (a MASSIVE Caldera), Alps Mountainside, Coniferous Forest, Wetland, Thinned Timber, Forest, Kelp Forest, Swampland, Lush Swamp, Hot Springs, Taiga, a TiCo slime island, and a weird little pach of jungle with only 3 big jungle trees. That's about half of what looks like a volcano island, like a cold Hawaii.

It is in the liquid registry as honey so it seems it is interchangeable. There sure is a lot of it in the hives. Could be useful in starting bees.
