Guys, what mod is Bee House from? AFAICT it's functionally identical to an Apiary, yet requires only a comb to make, instead of using impregnated casing. Has it been in the mod for long?

It is from forestry, and it hasn't been around long, though I cannot remember the actual version it was implemented. No, it isn't functionally identical to an apiary, pipes or alternatives won't connect, meaning you can't automate it, and you can't put frames in it to boost production.

Thanks for the swift reply. I haven't really started bee keeping yet and was eyeing it as a cheap alternative to apiaries, but it looks like it's not very useful to have.

It was just recently added to Forestry in 1.5 as a way for people to get started in bees without having to set up an entire infrastructure for frames and impregnated casings. Bee Houses are easier to make and bees in them will live longer and be more productive than bees in an apiary that doesn't have frames. The downside is that pipes won't connect to them, so they can't be automated, and bees will NOT mutate at all in them, so you can't breed any new species in them.

So, very handy if you just want some easy honey combs. Also extremely useful if you're trying to isolate a species in a hybrid bee, but don't want the bee to mutate. Like, if you have a Diligent/Unweary queen and don't want it to go Industrious until you can nab a few Unweary drones.

To add to it, recently (2.2.8.4, latest version of forestry) polination speed got buffed in bee houses to triple of normal speed (apiary/alveary), so they are specially useful in breeding trees.

Does anyone know how to get miniature hearts (used in making heart canisters)? I got one from a spoils bag once, but I would like a more reliable supply of them :)

I got my first one from a King Slime (random spawn). My second I got from my first Wither Boss kill. My third I got from a giant green slime or its offspring. My next 30+ came from a tier 3 angry zombie soul shard spawner with a looting 3 scythe. It felt like a really cheap way to get them, but I needed those brains for warded glass!

Miniature Hearts appear to be a rare drop from mobs. My mob farm keeps churning them out along with spoils bags. Kind of annoying, since they only stack to 10 for some bizarre reason.

I can confrim they are just rare drops from any mob. My blaze farm filled a barrel with those hearts before I releized they could drop from the farm.

How do they work in a AE system? Do they stack there?

You know what they say, all toasters toast toast.

Is there a way to keep spawners running (not soul shards, normal spawners) even if you are not there? Like a grinder setup using spawners moved with a gravity gun?

Chunkloader

I just read that chunk loaders don't work, so give it a try, but they may not work
or they may work like Soul shard spawners, when player is in proximity or chunk loaded and nobody in that dimension

My server admin checked it but nothing showing that.

It's in the GT config (GregTech.cfg):
