Magic Bees

Thaumic Bees is a Forestry add-on mod that combines concepts of Thaumcraft 3 and Forestry's apiculture. It adds a selection of new bee 

species and resources related to Thaumaturgy. The most recent version is 1.4.0a. However, all Feed The Beast modpacks currently use version 1.3.0d.

For a list of bee species added by Thaumic Bees, see Bee Species .

To instal this mod yourself, you must have the Forestry Mod here , it is recomended to have the Extra Bees Mod here , the Thaumcraft 3 Mod here , and finally, the Thaumic Bees crossover here . These are the minimum mods required or recomended, however, there are many other mods that are recomended for use in these such as Buildcraft and Redpower which work in conjunction with Forestry.

Thaumic Bee Species

The types of Thaumic Bees added do a variety of things from Forestry in compliance with the Thaumcraft 3 Mod.

There are three main branches of thaumic bee species, however, most are uncategorized. The three branches are Occult, Coelesce, and Docto. Each of these branches have a form of a "Ancestor" Bee that starts the line and needs to be breeded again with others to gain a different type of bee.

Occult Branch

To start off the ancestor of this branch, an Esoteric Bee must be achieved. This bee is made by breeding an Imperial + Demonic, or a Heroic + Demonic. This bee can further mutate when combined with either an Ender Bee, which will produce a Mysterious Bee, or even further mutated if an Esoteric + Mysterious is breeded to form an Arcane Bee. 

All bees of this famliy produce Occlute Combs, which can be put into the Centrifuge. When the Arcane Bee is achieved, it has a chance to produce an additional item, Enchanting Drops.

A unique note about the Arcane Bee is that it has a bonus during the Crescent Moon.

Coelesce Branch

To start the ancestor for the Coelesces, you must breed a Diligent + Valiant to produce a Charmed Bee. Charmed can then be breeded again with a Valiant to produce an Enchanted Bee, and then the Enchanted + Charmed to produce the final bee of this branch, the Supernatural Bee.

All bees of this family produce Otherworldy Combs, however, the Supernatural produces Unusual Pollen in addition to its combs.

Much the same as the Arcane Bee, the Supernatural is slightly different, by gaining a bonus during the Gibbous Moon.

Docto Branch

The final of the three family can be started with the Pupil Bee, which is an Arcane + Enchanted. This can then be bred with an Arcane again to produce Scholarly, which in turn you can combine, much like the other families, a Scholarly + Pupil to get a Savant Bee.

The Docto family produce Papery Combs and the final stage, Savant, produces Lore Fragments, which can be crafted in a 2x2 fashion to make one Knowledge Fragment.

Node Purrifying Bees

These types of bees take out essences that are in the Aura causing flux and turns them into Crystal Essentia. These Crystals have one of the aspect value they represent.

The Node Purifying Bees as of now are Aware, Vis, Pure, Flux, and Node (The Memory Comb producing bees).

It has also been observed that these bees may cause the Aura node, if close enough, to draw near to the origin of bee breeding. It is not known, however, whether if the Crystal Cluster set-up overpowers the Bee-Node attraction.
