After seeing so many people wondering about bees I firgaured that it needed its own thread to limit the repeated questions.

First you need the Matter Assembler to make an Apiary Crafting Station, which then makes all the bee related stuff. From there you need an apiary, some flowers near said apiary, a queen, and one or more drones. Put the bees in the input slots, and they should start working on their own. If you did everything right, and it is daytime, then you should see bees flying around the apiary.

Now where do you find the bees? They fly around on worlds like the normal bugs do. Catch them with your bug net, and put them to work. Different biome have their own pool of bee types that spawn. The Bees! mod (which is where this comes from by the way) at the CF forums has some of the info of where to find certain bees. This isn't 100% the same as what is in FU due to them tweaking things and adding new biomes. http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/bees.1585/

Now to get the more advanced bee types you will have to breed for them. This is rather simple really. I'll use Hardy bees as an example. All you need to do is place a honey bee drone or queen, with a matching forest queen or drone. The bees that spawn will have a chance of being hardy bees, which you then must catch, and setup in their own apiary.

Now what about frames? These are not needed, but do add useful effect to your apiary. You add them to the remaining input slot(s) and they will work their magic.

Now hopefully this info will allow people to get started with beekeeping.
