Does anyone have a good auto bee breeding design of their own or one you can link me to? It would be good if this design could be replicated on a massive scale.

Why would you make bread out of your bees? D:
* coughs *
If you're looking for an automatic breeder, do you mean something that'll just cycle your bees when they die so you don't have to keep checking on them? Or do you mean something that'll actually sort the bees by genetics and actually make informed choices on which drones to breed? The former is significantly easier than the latter.

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup of bread crumbs
In small bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika and pepper. In another small bowl, combine egg and Worcestershire sauce. Coat bees with seasoned flour; dip in egg mixture, and coat with crumbs. In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown bees on one side until golden brown (about 3 minutes); turn and continue cooking for another 4 minutes. Serve hot.
I use Redpower for mine. Basically what you're seeing here is a row of apiaries with a retriever to pull everything out of the results slot. The bottom filter is set for ONLY drones of the current species I'm working with. The filter to the chest is filtered for ONLY honeycombs. The top one is unfiltered, but the only thing left to travel that path are princesses (didn't want to waste a princess in the filter as those are non-renewable). The apiarist's chest at the end catches all extra drones. I use this setup to automate drone production of whatever species I need. I don't worry about keeping frames in there as this is only a drone factory.
Natural princesses and queens do not die.
Unnatural source is the swarmer produced princess, which are also in nei.
Your pipes are the most likely source of the loss.
