Ok, this falls under the catagory of not new but new to me. And I suspect it's new to most everybody. (Or at lest non pack makers.)
Extra bees is now a part of Binnies' mods. (We knew that.) As is his genectics machines. (Ditto.)
What most don't know is there is no way to remove or disable the machines in configs.
Also they only work with MJ. As is used to be part of Buildcraft but now can't be produced in any way buildcraft. (As far as I know.) But as there is only a hacky way to get it working (copying the MJ api from an old version of BC and paisting it into the mods zip.) I don't think I'm wrong.
Yes you are. You're supposed to copy over parts of the gate API, not the MJ API. Updating the MJ API causes lasers to crash (unless you keep the 6.1+ ILaserTarget). See https://github.com/BuildCraft/BuildCraft/issues/2283
