Notes on nodes:
* Each node has a brightness (fading, pale, normal, or bright)
* Each node has a type (Tainted, Pure, Hungry, Sinister, Unstable, or Normal)
* There is no way to make nodes Sinister or Unstable with Magic Bees, you will need to use the Thaumic Bases Node Manipulator
* The Type-Changing effects are bugged to work faster than intended. They will try to affect all nodes in range instead of being throttled.

= Appendix: Frames =
There are two types of frames: GT++ frames, which CANNOT be repaired and(so asonly suchuse arethem if you can afford to beautocraft them or don't mind that they have limited avoideduses), and forestry/extratrees/magicbees frames which can be repaired.
 
Most of the magic bees frames are way too expensive to make even one of and so are effectively loot only.
# Chocolate: 0.75x lifespan, 1.5x production, 3 of these will give 0.422x lifespan and 3.375x production. You can buy these for bee coins, huzzah!
# Restraint: a worse version of chocolate frames, they nerf production instead of buffing it and more importantly cap at 0.5x lifespan when you have 3.
# Soul: 1.5x mutation, 0.75x lifespan, these are the best frames for breeding that you can reasonably craft. Three will give 3.375x mutation rate and 0.5x lifespan.
# Healing: truly antithetical to the concept of being good
# Nova: creative only
# Untreated, Impregnated, and Proven: the default forestry frames which all give 2x production (8x for 3) and vary only in durability. Impregnated can be bought from QB (probably don't though), and Proven can be bought from villagers or crafted. Since these are production oriented rather than breeding oriented, you can breed imperial for royal jelly, then buy tropical for silky propolis (remember you can get it faster in the escritoire), and then craft them fairly cheaply.
# Magic: literally worse than the impregnated frame it's crafted from, only useful if you're down atrocious and want to craft another magic bees frame.
# Resiliant: just breed an ordered, lich, or thaumium shards bee and then you can finally craft this way more expensive version of the proven frame that lasts 6.11 hours instead of 5.5.
# Gentle: this one does have a niche, provided your brain is sufficiently enormous. See the ignoble bee enjoyer manifesto section for more info. Require aer, hydra, or thaumiumshards bee.
# Metabolic: give 1.8x mutation rate (with no cap), so with 3 you get 5.832x mutation. However, they don't decrease lifespan and are much more expensive than soul frames, so those are generally better imo. If you are a big world accelerator enjoyer you may disagree. Require ignis bee.
# Necrotic: give 0.3x lifespan, but require chaotic or thaumiumshards bees to actually craft. If you get three of these from loot bags before having an alveary then they are good for high mutation rate bees. They are also good for breeding for stats. With 3 of these, you hit 0.027x lifespan, but remember this is 0.0405x after the beekeeping mode modifier is applied. That will still make most bees finish their lifespan in under a minute.
# Temporal: garbage
# Oblivion: this is the best frame. A single one reduces the lifespan of even eon bees to a single bee tick, making breeding for mutations or stats both so much less painful. However, it's also much more expensive than even the other already expensive magic bees frames. Not only would you need aqua bees, you also need a dragon egg (draconic bee HIGHLY recommended, thaumiumdust bee suggested) AND mutable bees. Getting it from a stronghold or advanced bee loot bag is highly recommended.
Finally, the GT++ frames:
# Accelerated: worse version of soul frame
# Mutagenic: it has amazing stats, but it only has 3 durability and can't be repaired, plus it costs plutonium. Also, if you were wealthy enough to consider using two at once to boost the mutation rate even more, you would almost certainly be rewarded with your princess becoming ignoble. With three it literally would be guaranteed.
# Working: if you're drowning in nether stars this one is worth considering. It's basically worth 6 proven frames when you take its durability and production into account, but it's almost always a lot more than 6x as expensive, making it usually a poor choice.
# Decaying: astoundingly useless.
# Slowing: astoundingly useless.
# Stabilizing: astoundingly useless.
# Arborist: astoundingly useless. Even for its stated purpose of forestry tree breeding, it isn't that useful because it only increases lifespan and range, but you want pollination increased for tree breeding, and there's no frame for that. If you have an effect that you really want to boost the range of though then I guess you could actually use this. Check out apatite tubes in the electrical stimulator to boost pollination instead of range, if you really want to go down that road.
 
Some frames have caps, but remeber that these are only checked per apiary/frame housing, so having multiple frame housings in an alveary ignores the caps.

| Untreated || 1x || 2x || 1x || 80 (yes) || 1x || 0.9x || basic forestry frame, use if you want to autocraft rather than auto repair
|-
| Impregnated || 1x || 2x || 1x || 240 (yes) || 1x || 0.4x || intermediate forestry frame, can be bought in questbook (only do this if you have neither thaumic restorer nor autocrafting)
|-

|-
| Magic || 1x || 2x || 1x || 240 (yes) || 1x || 0.6x || worse than the impregnated frame it's crafted from, only useful if you want another magic bees frame and didn't get it from loot
|-
| Resiliant || 1x || 2x || 1x || 800 (yes) || 1x || 0.5x || require ordered, lich, or thaumiumshards bee. Much more expensive than proven and only lasts slighly longer

| Metabolic || 1x || 1.2x || 1.8x || 130 (yes) || 1x || 1x || 3 yield 5.832x mutation. However, soul frames are generally better (cheaper + lower lifespan) without world acceleration. Require ignis bee
|-
| Necrotic || 0.3x || 0.75x || 1x || 280 (yes) || 1x || 1.2x || require chaotic or thaumiumshards bees. Good loot pre-alveary. 3 bring most lifespans under a minute
|-
| Temporal || 2.5x || 1x || 1x || 300 (yes) || 1x || 0.8x || garbage
|-
| Oblivion || 0.0001x || 0x || 1x || 50 (yes) || 1x || 1x || the best frame. 1 brings all lifespans to 1 bee tick. Very expensive. Requires aqua and mutable bees, and a dragon egg (so draconic and thaumiumdust bees are recommended). Try to get from a stronghold or advanced bee loot bag

|-
| Mutagenic || 0.0001x || 10x || 5x || 3 (no) || 1x || 1x || amazing mutation/lifespan, garbage durability and can't be repaired, plus it costs plutonium. Be careful to keep the total production multiplier under 16x if using multiple.
|-
| Working || 3x || 4x || 0x || 2000 (no) || 1x || 1x || consider if drowning in nether stars. 6 proven worth of durability and production, but a lot more than 6x as expensive and can't be repaired
|-
| Decaying || 1x || 1x || 1x || 240 (no) || 1x || 10x || astoundingly useless. If you want your ignoble bees to die, consider a trash can
|-
| Slowing || 2x || 0.5x || 0.5x || 175 (no) || 1x || 1x || not useful. If you only care about the effect then they aren't harmful
|-
| Stabilizing || 1x || 0.1x || 0.1x || 60 (no) || 1x || 0.5x || astoundingly useless
|-
| Arborist || 3x || 0x || 0x || 240 (no) || 3x || 1x || Mostly useless, but can boost the range of good effects. For forestry tree breeding you want pollination increased, and there's no frame for that, check apatite tubes in the electrical stimulator
