Introduction

Some people ask me personally the reason why I bother with bees. I have been burned, poisoned and blown-up countless times, and when they even devoured my house. But although I am today covered in scars, i have already been rewarded with gift suggestions beyond my wildest goals. The honey they will have given myself features nourished me through those cool Creeper-filled evenings, as well as the silk has furnished myself with more than one durable backpack. If you are prepared to withstand these hardships, read on, else reverse today and forever hold your comfort…

Sir Sengir, Mad Apiarist

Part 1 : Bees

Bees sting. Bees are yellow and stripy. Bees buzz. Everbody knows these exact things, however the first rule of beekeeping is know your enemy (in fact the very first rule is you need to always explore beekeeping club). Bees tend to be small yellow insects present in hives, spread around our extremely polygonal world. There are five various hives i've discovered these days, and another that we dare not discuss. The best way to find the hives is to explore at night, given that shine of working bees guided us to all of them (in addition to mobs, as I found to my expense)

Getting all of them out you need to get these with one of my most memorable inventions, the information. Sadly my alternate brands of “bee capturing apply” and “net-on-a-stick” failed to catch in. In some way, beating in a repetitive way on these hives reveals the bees, who are instead large and colourful. Generate the information, you need to assemble it using sticks and sequence, although we'll leave the skill of tying a net from string for you.

Beyond apiaries and alvearies (much more later on) bees seem to be both completely docile and immortal. First thing I noticed about bees were that they had been obviously put into three castes. Into the hives I found both princess and drones, where the princesses had been distinguisable by their even more regal appearance. However when the two are brought together someplace special the princess can change in to the queen. The queen will spend the woman lifespan generating things including honey combs until she ultimately dies, spawning a brand new princess and several drones. Which means your bee population will develop exponentially, meaning you will need a good amount of storage.

Together with your recently found insect buddies it is possible to move on to the next step of beekeeping: reproduction.

The Apiary

To back your newly found bees into a bee family full of honey you need the apiary. This tiny wood package can include a family of those small blighters, and gather honeycombs for the problems. But this is where the difficult part will come in: the kids of two various bees has a mixture of the genetics associated with two parents, that will actually a fresh species that you are yet to see. By allowing these so called 'mutations' that occurs, I discovered that these couple of species of obviously occuring bee exposed a full world of possibilities, with many unusual and exotic types found. I'll give an explanation for numerous species that I discovered later on when you look at the guide, along with suggestions to how I obtained all of them. A real apiarist never shares their secrets in the end.

But first of all, you'll need an apiary. To get the apiary I'd to endure an extended and hard journey of trial and error, involving creepers, lapis lazuli and some sheep, but thank goodness I recorded these measures for generations to come. We began utilizing the squeezing of my many seeds into seed oil. The arrangement of eight logs (of every tree) in a carpenter with my seed oil resulted in a impregnated casing which could keep the bee. To secure this casing in society, I then organized it to my crafting table with wood planks and wood pieces to make an acceptable house for my bees. The resultant apiary may then be put into the entire world wherever i would like.

Really, I lied. We traded for an apiary with an amiable beekeeper in a village. Only believed I would allow you to go to the work of earning it initially. Easily could see at this point you I'd be laughing.

Once you've these interesting items to place around your globe, you'll be wondering the way you use them. In the event that you having put together them correctly you need to look at inside is arranged as shown to the right.
