Need to sleep but don't wanna because I'm playing with Forestry bees and trying to get a pure strain of cultivated bees. Well. Ideally I want a pure strain of every kind of bee, but cultivated bees are a proof of concept and the first bee I have access to with a decent chance of multiple honey combs, and therefore multiple honey drops, per queen. It keeps reverting back to common or progressing to diligent, though. I can deal with common, they've got a 35% chance of a honey comb per instance of the queen ticking down instead of cultivateds' 40%, but diligents drop stringy combs instead and those have a massively reduced chance of giving me honey drops when I put them through the centrifuge. I need honey drops to beealyze my bees, dammit! I don't want to go on blind guessing for my breeding attempts!

So I have a bit of a problem. Occasionally, when my bees in FTB die, they don't give a princess. Which is brilliant. Just brilliant.
