There is a bee chart map (a bit outdated) on the Collected Guides Thread. I should install GIMP and start making a mess of a chart. Or find out a good free website host that can make it easier. I think I'll just install GIMP, but if anyone knows a good second option, by all means, state away.
Would be infinitely more useful than this guide.

Wait, somebody out there understands FLCL?

Why do you think I'm trying to understand it?
It's like they took all the good writers in Gainax and gave them all the drugs (or maybe just a lot of them) after sealing them in a room.

Ok, GIMP will not make big enough pictures to make the bee chart. Any other Programs you might recommend? (Other than Paint)
Thanks!

  1. You're not using GIMP properly if you think it can't make big enough pictures.
  2. Use Microsoft Visio instead? Or LucidChart which is freely available online.

Using Google Drive, I will make a dissected flow chart of every bee and make a list of links in alphabetical order.

Ok, I have these bees done: Common, Cultivated, Noble, Majestic, Imperial.
List here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S3Sv0Bxs_OJa-CLYIgAXTueRn7TkS2X_4yqv_PCIWOE
Yes, I know, I only have two bees.
I need to know how you like the format before I add any more bees.
Thanks!
EDIT: Mutation chance will be added in due time.
They may or may not be added in a spreadsheet.
EDIT 2: Format changed slightly to be more compact. Still very readable and understandable.
Basically, Say you wanted Noble (Newest Page, and first to use the new format).
I have arrows leading from Cultivated and Common to the Noble Bee. How do you get Cultivated?
The Common Bee not only has an arrow to Noble, but also to Cultivated. Only 2 Hive Bee Signs are included because one leads to both Common and Cultivated.

The most notable example of the new format is the Majestic Bee. I suggest you look at that one first.
EDIT: I suggest not looking at the Blitz Bee in a Master Apiarist Database in 1.5.1, as it crashes. I've crashed MC that way twice now.

One may or may not be able to edit the charts. Please notify me if you can, so I can fix it.

Nope, can't edit the charts.

I have to ask. What good is the visual representation? Isn't all this available at the unofficial wiki in text form?

Perfect.
I made the representation because of an earlier post:
I know there was this one site that had a "family tree", and it was so smooth and easy to understand for each bee. The charts that exist are oftentimes not...done/right, and you have to keep scrolling around. Oh, want X bee? Well, you'll need to find it, then you'll need bees S and W, then you'll need E, G, Z, and I, as E and G make S and Z and I make W. Just obnoxious. But I think the really good site I was talking about went down, which is unfortunate :p.

I thought that the bees leading to multiple places would confuse a little. But do remember that you can simply follow the arrows backwards. If you have a better format, by all means, state away. I am open to all the ideas I can get. I may modify it thanks to a recent discovery of mine that one can zoom out. I will fix it now, actually.

Much better. Say "Mundane" instead, though. Imperial is so much better looking, but it's...lopsided. Make something similar to plornt.com, because the author quit. So easy to follow.

I wish I had a better image editing program, or that LucidChart would be a little more lenient. Then I could make equal splits. But alas, by myself, equal splits I cannot do. I will forever be making things lopsided. Maybe.
EDIT: If anyone happens to be good at Bees and/or Adjusting things to Equal Splits, PM me with your Gmail so I can add you.
EDIT 2: The Bee Folder itself is now shared, here:
