Bee Specimens

Bee Specimens is a small add-on mod for Forestry: Community Edition.

This mod adds specimen items for Forestry bees.

Forestry bees store their species information in genetic item data, so different bee species can share the same base item ID. Bee Specimens adds a simple way to convert those bees into ordinary species-specific specimen items.

How It Works

Bee Specimens adds a new block called the Specimen Table.

Place a Forestry bee, paper, and a glass pane into the Specimen Table to create a bee specimen.

The following bee life stages can be used:

• Drone
• Princess
• Queen

The bee and materials are consumed when the specimen is created.

Specimen Items

Each supported Forestry bee species has its own specimen item.

For example:

• Forest Bee Specimen
• Meadows Bee Specimen
• Common Bee Specimen
• Relic Bee Specimen

Specimen items are collection items.

They do not preserve the original bee’s genetic traits and cannot be used as bees.

Amber Drone

Bee Specimens also adds a small fishing source for Forestry’s Amber Drone.

Amber Drone can rarely be obtained while fishing.

This is intended to provide an additional way to access historic bee progression.

Requirements

Bee Specimens requires:

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Minecraft Forge 47.x
• Forestry: Community Edition

Compatibility

Bee Specimens is designed for Forestry: Community Edition.

The mod supports Forestry CE’s standard bee species.

Custom bee species added by other mods or scripts are not automatically supported unless Bee Specimens is extended to include them.
