Minium Bees are, currently, the only bee in the Alchemical Branch of bees added by Magic Bees. Minium Bees are only available if Thaumic Bees and Equivalent Exchange 3 are installed in conjunction. The only packs that have both of these two mods installed by default are the Feed The Beast Ultimate Pack and the Direwolf20 Pack. Minium Bees produce the main material of Equivalent Exchange 3, the Shard of Minium, used for making the Minium Stone and normally obtained as a semi-random drop from killing hostile mobs.
