Where to find Marble & Embittened Bees

[Zerro]

I was searching the wiki and web and couldn't really find the answer to this question. I'm curious as to where the Marble hives are located. Are they hard to find like those Rock Bees or located in certain biomes/terrains? As for Embittened, I'm assuming they are found in the nether but I'm just making sure. If so, is it possible to create a MystCraft age to find the Embitten hives or do I have to use the default generated nether to find them?

Of course I ask such questions because prior to ExtraBees being added to the modpack, I had explored a great amount of terrain, therefore chances are I would not have been able to find any ExtraBee hives in the overworld or Nether within a couple 1000blocks

thanks

marble will spawn pretty much anywhere, making them common as dirt, their hive is about the same color as RP2 marble, which makes them easy to mix up with forest hives
embittered bees on the other hand, are the rock bee equivalent in the nether, the hives look extremely similar to netherrack, but they generate light and have the hive design
and last time i checked you cannot use a mystcraft age to get embittered

Okay. Are Embittened located anywhere in the open nether or do I have to search Fotresses or inside of netherrack walls?

anywhere in the nether, but they still follow the rule that they can spawn anywhere netherrack can, thus you'll see them more often in fortress's from the exposed netherrack

:\ I finally found one luckily. Probably took about 30mins. It was lodged in the wall. Time to get the species serum

tell me how it goes, i've never had the time to touch it, supposedly its like the other nether bees and need the nether to work

Maybe it needs the nether to work when mutating, but once you get Both_5 onto it, then it can work anywhere.
