I want to set up a bee farm in a Taiga biome, which means I need to breed the icy trait into my Bees, however no matter how many times I breed them with winter drones they don't want to pick up the trait. Could anyone help me out with some advice/tips?

How do you mean? Don't the winter drones have the trait I need? Otherwise how do I take out the actual trait and apply it directly to the Bees?

use rockey bees with the extra bee machine to get the temp/humid tolerance +2/-2 traits thats what you need to use normal bees in cold climate

you will need isolater to get the serum the synthasizer to fill the serum the purifier to get its quality to max and then inoculator to add the trait to the bee the machines are fairly expensive but if your thinking of doing alot of bees there worth it

1) You cannot crossbreed preferred temperature or humidity, only the tolerances.
2) Using the Extra Bees machines (if you have the base resources and energy) can make your life easier, but it is in no way mandatory. If you use the machines, you'll need: Genepool (to get liquid DNA from unwanted drones), Isolator (to extract random traits from a drone into a serum), Synthesizer (fill that serum up with liquid DNA, you'll want several charges in it, four if you're lucky, better use 8+), Purifier (uses liquid DNA to raise the quality of the serum, don't stop before it tells you that it can't be purified anymore), Inoculator (inoculate your princess AND drone with the purified serum, until they both switch to the lowest slots on the right). You'll also need a LOT of MJ, a million could be enough, maybe more.
