I got 10 apiaries made and placed near the house along with the Forestry machines to support them, with help from the tech guys wiring them into the system. There's also signs by them explaining what's what and what even non-bee people can do to keep things going in the absence of someone who knows what they're doing. Right now the front row is for cycling plain, out of the hive bees to accumulate combs and the back row is currently started on breeding up common and cultivated lines. I'm no Flora and I've never successfully gotten high level bees other than the Hell branch on my FTB Insanity map, but I understand how the basic genetics work and don't mind being the go-to grunt for them. I think the next thing will be to get wintery and tropical bees going, I don't know if we'll want a mystcraft age for that or just do it in the overworld.
I'd also like to set up an area for IC2 crop crossbreeding. I'm not a fan of the system and I probably won't bother with making "better wheat" but I do want to be able to have the unique plants. To do that well, we'll need to collect spider eyes to make Weed-Ex.
By the way, Morv, did the server get left on peaceful after you left? I didn't see any monster spawns where there should have been.
Also, looking forward to details for the Mumble server.
Oh, fyi, I made you an apiarists chest, though left the chest bare, since you know how you like things setup.
I can help to make sure the bees keep running but I don't know enouph to breed them. I'll keep that front row going when I can for you.
And I will deffinitly help with the IC2 crops, I would like to get a brewery going
Like I don't get drunk enough irl, now I get to get drunk on a server? Woot.
