How can you get the powdery combs from Austere Bees? I know that the specialties are only made when the bee is in it's natural environment. Austere bees' natural environment is hot and arid. I was under the impression that you can use heaters, fans and hydro-regulators to make a alverary into the bees's natural environment irrespective of the current biome.

I've added a bunch of heaters and hydro-regulators with lava to an alveary and bumped up the temperature to 200% (HOT) and the humidity down to 0%. (I'm in a plains biome, so it took a lot to get this far.) Since the alveary is now reading the normal environment for the Austere bee, I thought I would start getting some powdery combs, but none are being produced.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
 
Will a volcano count? It shows as hot and arid when I place an apiary. I have plenty of volcanoes nearby. Edit: BOP Volcano biome
