Stark Bees are a type of bee added by Magic Bees that make up the origin of the Thaumic Branch from which all other shard-producing bees originate. Requires Thaumcraft 3 installed; with later versions of Thaumcraft this bee is extinct.

Production

Stark Bees produce Stark Combs, true to their name. These sometimes result in Dull Propolis, which occasionally results in a Dull Shard when further centrifuged.

Requirements

Pure Stark Bees require a Normal Climate and Normal Humidity to start working, and at least one Magic Flower, either a Shimmerleaf or a Cinderpearl. Like all species, their traits can be modified through Bee Breeding.
