Just checking a few things, I'm seeing "Ecstatic" bee, right after Energetic/Excited. That seems like a fairly obvious evolution.
But the beginning of the Nuclear Branch has "rock" as a flower. I've got a suspicion on how to get it now.
It is Flyer/Cave/Nocturnal, so if someone's got the necessary requirements, can you try breeding some mineral bees near a uranium ore block?
EDIT: So, turns out that the Nuclear Branch will melt blocks within its area of effect. I'm not sure if they melt normal stone, but look at what they're doing to this bunker
EDIT: Further help; the "end of line" Nuclear Branch bee CAN produce the combs that make uranium ore, but only as a possible specialty. Considering their devastating effect on the immediate area, choose where the apiary is placed very carefully.
Hey mate. I've been using the guide alot since I started with breeding, and it has been a great help. Thanks alot!
Now I'm wondering what Wintry and Marshy bees adds, and how they grow up. I'd love to know, before I start tinkering with them.
Your welcome. Wintry and marshy bees currently in vanilla forestry don't have any combinations other than making common, BUT if you get the Extra Bees add-on for Forestry, there is a use. The link is in the guide.
Seeing that everyone is going on and on about this addon, I guess I should get it xD
It is pretty fun. I would recommend trying to not use this guide unless you really need too. Here is a starting tip. Combine a Rocky or a Water with a "Common" (Common or cultivated).
Thanks for the hint. Right now, I'll still only play with vanilla bees and their mutations. I want to perfect all the vanilla branches before I go crazy
I did install the mod, but mostly for the Database, for now. It is a very nifty little tool.
I've installed the add-on now, and I've played around with the database. Very useful. I did get a Energetic mutation somehow and my wooden Bee Base almost got burned down to the ground xD
Be careful. Those bees are DANGEROUS, you might want to be careful around them because of the lightning. I don't think the lightning is stopped by the Apiarists armor.
Thank you for this post, I am going to collect all the bees, then move onto the extra bees add on. I have 105 queen bees collected so far for breeding.

The compass is freaking sexy though.
Those diagonal pixels harden my nipples.
If you knew that you should post it ^^ People would be happy if they can breed their bees and eventually wait for the continuation if they can't find the combination for rest of the branch
Anyway, good job
But can you do list similar to that on the end of the post with all combinations from more bees? If you haven't got time for this, just PM me, I can try to do such a thing ^^
EDIT:// I worked on the original summary, do you like it? ^^ (PM me for code ) (I will write same thing for more bees later )
EDIT2:// Huh, More Bees done, and it can be edited very easy Waht do you guys think about it? (I did so much spoilers in case if someone want to check one be and don't look up other bees in this process ^^)

I like it. I have a lot of spare time so I can do it. Let me see if other people like it before I change it.

My pure bred feruos bees keep mutating to argenti even without crossbreeding. Its getting annoying since the mutations keeps messing with the traits I bred for.
Did you put them near a wheat farm? And yes they do centrifuge into wheat.
And any clues on the nuclear branch yet?
Sorry, no. I have been searching around and I still haven't found out yet. I would love to help.
But the beginning of the Nuclear Branch has "rock" as a flower. I've got a suspicion on how to get it now.

They do. I have been using FTB for this particular purpose.

I agree. The Apiarists Database is a nifty tool.
Be careful. Those bees are DANGEROUS, you might want to be careful around them because of the lightning. I don't think the lightning is stopped by the Apiarists armor.
marshy + common = swamp bee
swamp + common = boggy bee
this is not the end of it though the boggy and swamp can mutate to one more thing each.
I know, I haven't posted it yet because I haven't finished breeding the branch. And I have gotten those combinations.
I like it. I have a lot of spare time so I can do it. Let me see if other people like it before I change it.
I have discovered 55 out of 98
My research is going well.
I haven't tried but I have a hunch that:
Sinister? + Embittered = Angry
Angry + either Sinister or Embittered, not sure which = Furious
Angry + Furious = Volcanic
Malicious + ? = Infectious
Malicious + Infectious = Virulent
Corrosive + ? = Caustic
Corrosive + Caustic = Acidic
Marshy? + ? = Swamp
Swamp + Marshy? = Boggy
Swamp + Boggy = Fungal
Sweet + ? = Sugary
Sweet + Sugary = Fruity
