My wife is trying to breed bees and we're not having any luck getting the Rocky line completed. We've breed Robust and Tolerant together several times. We've used up 3 oblivian frames and tried it in both plains and ocean biome. All we get is mixed breed bees. Is there something wrong with the Resilient bee? Has anybody out there been able to breed them in Forestry 2.2.8.4 and Extra Bees 1.7.0?

Found the solution. FTB-Wiki has the wrong combo. The proper one can be found here: http://wiki.feed-the...m/Resilient_Bee

It's Imperial and Robust = Resilient.

You are able and free to fix any outdated information you find. It's only going to get updated if people do.

UGH, they KEEP changing those effing bees?!?!?!
How many times are they going to do this?! What is wrong with choosing one species chain and KEEPING it?!

Instead of using any wiki your best bet will be to use NEI, bee species get changed almost EVERY update and I doubt ANY wiki can keep up with that. Use NEI.

But yeah as RZ said, if you find something wrong, fix it.

I... just... AUGH. No wonder my breeding wasn't working. :| At least I'm close to getting Imperial bees...

 

I heavily use this wiki's bee charts - if I can get a day or two where I'm not busy I'll scan through the page and see if I can update it.

 

NEI shows the breeding lines? Anything special you have to click / select / etc for them to show up? (I'm learning so much about NEI lately it's so neat)

At one point I made this
http://ftbwiki.org/i...=Template:B-nav
It became outdated a week or so after I finalized it... x.x
Was horrible, took me ages to put together.

Not that I know of, just ask for the recipe of a bee and it will tell you, it doesn't work well with bees that are only bred near nodes though...

I've been working on updating bee pages, but it's a lot of work and my available time is very limited at the moment.

I checked, it does show you what bees you can breed (X + Y = Z) so it's kinda helpful.

Also just thought of something. I'd probably have to get the latest version of Forestry for this to keep it up-to-date. *headdesk*

Watch out, recipes may change.

[blaurascon]

Watch out, recipes may change.

 

Yeah, which is what I'm considering... I want to help out, but if the recipes change really often, I don't know how much help my help would be. :s

You could use the NEI to check all the recipes for the latest version and help with that.

You could use the NEI to check all the recipes for the latest version and help with that.

That's what I plan on doing - getting the latest version of mods and using NEI to cross-check the recipes with what's listed here and fixing anything as needed. Just need the time to do so....

 

I've started getting into bees again a lot on Unleashed and may start updating the bee pages themselves... red-link pages drive me insane D:

3 words that will solve a LOT of issues. Master Apiarist Database. Grab one out of creative mode and it will give you all the combos that are in your current version.

I hear that.

Yeah but that was buggy in the 152wgt FTB pack... does it work right in more updated packs?

3 letters that will solve a LOT of issues, and have already been mentioned quite a few times in this thread. NEI. If it doesn't appear make it appear by pressing the 'O' button and it will give you the combos concerning a specific bee in your current version.

Well when it works the Database is a lot easier to use since all the info is right there.
