  • When bees present with no queen (and no royal comb)
    • Will generate a royal comb, which hatches into a new queen
  • Uses forge Capabilities

      • Hopper filter required on extraction, see Wiki:Apiary for more details
  • Produces smoke particles when a Bee Smoker has been used on the Apiary Block
  • Spawns bees randomly (Will always leave enough bees to prevent queen thinking the swarm has died and generating extra egg combs)
