Bee species
All 11 species: parents, mutation chances, climate, comb and nugget chances, and which bee carries which aura.
Bee Mastery wiki
An addon for Forestry: Community Edition; it does nothing without it. It adds 11 bee species bred through Forestry's mutations, five metals that come out of their combs, 19 frames and five auras. The Portable Hive goes in the chestplate slot and keeps the bees working while you walk.
