It's all down to chance they like hiding in the nether rack so just start cutting trenches and look for them they also have a texture similar to nether rack so bee careful not to break it while you dig the trenches.

You can also breed for nether bees which arent embitterned.

Modest queen + cultivated in the nether.

Quarries pick up bees from hives, so I say set down a max size quarry and laugh maniacally as even hell itself falls before your might.

... or, you know, do that breeding thing. Whatever tickles your fancy.

Max quarry in nether great plan that one, I just hope your not on a server !!, as to the OP there is no hard fast rule jetpack around & keep eyes pealed, its a little more red than the nether rack they are found in, can be hard to spot but after you've seen one you'll know what to look for.

Are quarries a source of major lag I haven't heard of before? If a quarry will bring a server to its knees, they really shouldn't be the de-facto automated mining system of choice.

You missed the point in the nether being the point & max size quarries can be a factor if a couple people all have max size, dude whats the point I know my self that it can be a problem & normally advise people on our server not to drain the nether as the liquid updates can be bad, this also happens with liquid in quarries, If you play on a server you owe it to your fellow players to try at least to keep lag creating item/builds to the minimum or maybe thats just me.

I personally would love to see the max size of quarries capped at 24x24 & to have an auto 2 block refill top layer option, I know its never going to happen unless the TE team made there own version, they tend to go for more logical balanced approaches.

btw its not bashing you Neirin raping the nether & the resulting issues is a pet hate of mine, sry if I was overly brash.

But who mentioned anything about lava? ;) Plenty of solid terrain 64x64 areas in the nether where he could set it up a quarry without hitting any lava.

Yeah... not seeing where the lava comes in, but I do agree that flowing lava is a lag machine. I'm actually rather proud of myself that I have never actually used a nether pumping station in any amount. I did use a small netherrack + magma crucible lava power setup in my last world to supplement my peat-fired engines until I could get a steam boiler online, but that's the closest I've gotten to a nether lava setup. Of course, in that world my nether spawn happened to place me a good 200 blocks from the nearest air pocket let alone lava lake. I went through a lot of picks mining in circles because I thought there was no way the netherrack could be that thick.

it's pretty simple actually, get yourself some powered armor with all the bells and whistles and fly around looking at the cliff sides between 50y and 30y. they are very easy to spot once you know what to look for.

I know what to look for in the nether, and I still haven't had any luck this game. I bring a scoop with me every time, just in case.:(
