Flowers for Bee-loved Bees

[HangingLotus]

Okay this has me really puzzled. i got the ardite and cobalt bees bred after figuring out i needed a block of the corresponding ore under the apiary. what i dont know is what kind of flowers i need for them to do their voodoo. i have them in the nether currently with some cactus nearby but they dont like that.

do i need to put them in a desert biome? do regular flowers work?

Don't you have access to an analyzer? it kind of tells you.
My bet would be netherwart and climate being hot and dry.

According to the official FTB wiki, they need Flowers.

yea, a bee analyzer will tell you what you need, there's the handheld one which with a little bit of honey or honeydew, it can tell you what each one needs in great detail.

Also the placeable Analyzer works for trees and butterflys.

If all it says is flowers then you have to try ordinary flowers in dirt.

Vanilla flowers like roses and dandelions should work.

netherwart was a no go but i got it figured out. ive moved the ardite and cobalt bees to the desert on a patch of dirt with a rose. though it doesnt make a lot of sense for this combination to work as you normally dont see anything but cactus and dead shrubs in the desert.
