The Apiary is the second available housing for Bees. In some modpacks where wild Beehives are unavailable, Apiaries can be the first available housing due to a lack of Combs. While requiring more resources and infrastructure to create, Apiaries have various disadvantages relative to Bee Houses, principally that they produce at 1/10th the speed. The primary advantages of using an Apiary is that it can accept Frames, be automated, and most importantly, allows for the creation of new Species via Crossbreeding.
BuildCraft pipes are able to remove Bees and bee products from the sides of the Apiary. The Apiary accepts Drones and Princesses through pipes connected to any side, but only if the slot for either is currently empty.
GUI
- I. Queen Slot:
Contains a Single Queen or Princess. The left-hand side bar displays the remaining lifespan of the queen. - II. Drone Slot:
If the Queen slot is occupied by a Princess, the mating process will be initiated when a Drone is found in this slot. The mating process will consume the Princess and a Drone to produce a Queen with identical traits to the Princess. - III. Output Inventory:
Products will appear in this inventory. When a Queen dies, her offspring will also be deposited here. A Queen will always produce a single Princess and one to four Drones, based on her active fertility trait.
Known Bugs
- When being moved by Redpower frames, it is possible for an Apiary to glitch out, changing into the texture and ID of another block (such as a Raintank) and crashing the user's client when right clicked. It will drop the correct contents when broken, however, it is discouraged to place Apiaries onto Redpower frames (Mindcrack smp v8.0.1).

Working with Routers
Using a Factorization Router to insert items into the Apiary is as seen in the image below. Note that there is no way to automate the insertion or extraction of items into/from the Frame slots. This is by design.
