Bees

**The Beevamp is live. All the information on this page is now obsolete**

Disclaimer: A major overhaul of the bee system (beevamp) is underway. The information below is still accurate but once that overhaul is complete this section will be obsolete. No announced date yet for beevamp.

Bees! was also introduced into this mod.
For more information, see the Bees: Basics guide.

It adds several new bee related items, bee farming, and bee breeding. There are 26 different types of bees, and each bee produces different items and honeycombs.

#### **Discovered Bees**

These bees can be found on their respective planets/biomes. The chances are finding bees are not necessarily equal between biomes. Most, with the notable exception of Nocturnal Bees, spawn only during the day.

* Normal: Garden/Lush, Jungle, Forest, Hive, Rainbow Wood, Flower Forest, Hell Hive, Primeval Forest, Erchius Crystal Expanse, Alien Forest, Eden, Bog, Chromatic, Dark Primeval Forest, Mountainous, and Rainforest Biomes.
* Forest: Forest, Garden, Hive, Rainbow Wood, Hell Hive, Primeval Forest, Alien Forest, Eden, and Dark Primeval Biomes.

* Nocturnal: Spawns in a number of different biomes (Scorched City, Toxic, Desert, Forest, Savannah, Shadow Moon, Spider Nest, Rainforest, Shadow, Penumbra, and Mountainous), but only at night.
* Miner: Mountainous, Red Wastes, Wasteland, Irradiated, Eden, Bog, Chromatic, Dark Primeval, and Primeval Biomes.

Note: Bees are not guaranteed to spawn on every planet of that biome. Some planets will have no bees.

#### **Bee Breeding**

To breed bees you must put a queen and a drone of each type in an Apiary.

When breeding bees, the queens will not go into the output but rather fly around the area until they either despawn or are caught with a Bug Net or stunned by a Bug Harvester Turret.
