The Magic Apiary from Magic Bees is an upgraded version of an Apiary. It has an increased production rate (x0.9) over the standard Apiary (x0.1) but not as high as an Alveary (x1.0). They also have an inherent 0.8x genetic decay modifier. Territory and Flowering are the standard 1x. Mutation and Lifespan are unmodified unless boosted. Magic Apiaries can be further improved by providing them with a magical source of power - Mana Apiary Booster or the Vis Apiary Booster. Depending on the type of booster used, this can double the production rate, double the mutation rate, and/or halve the lifespan of the housed Queen. Botania's mana booster does all three indiscriminately, while the Thaumcraft 4 booster is affected by the aspect(s) of Centivis provided.
GUI
- I. Above Queen Slot:
Three icons denoting a Mutation rate bonus, decrease in Lifespan, and Production increase. They are inactive unless the Magic Apiary is fed boosts from a nearby Mana/Vis Booster. When active, they may still be toggled on or off. - II. Queen Slot:
Contains the current queen or princess to be bred. The left-hand side bar shows the current health of the queen while producing. - III. Drone Slot:
If the Queen Slot is occupied by a princess and this slot is occupied by a drone the mating process will be initiated. This process will consume the princess and drone to produce a queen whose species is determined by that of both the princess and drone. - IV. Output Inventory:
Products will appear in this inventory. When a queen dies, the succeeding princess and drones will also be deposited here. A queen will always produce a single princess, and one to four drones based on her active fertility trait.
