= When to Start Bees? =
Almost all of bees can be done in steam/LV. You can even start in stone if you find/trade for some Apiaries in a village. But like the rest of GT, there are efficiency improvements that come with your tier. I will list them here so you can make an informed decision on when to start.
(Personally, I would recommend MV/HV or LuV if you're trying to minimize effort. Bees can take a long time to breed and these tiers have huge efficiency jumps in breeding.)
* Can loot or trade for alvearies in villages
* Can craft bee houses (non-automateable)
* Can craft untreated frames
=== LV ===
* Can craft alvearies (fully automated compared to bee houses)
* Can craft impregnated frame (reduces genetic decay vs. untreated)
=== MV ===
* "Normal" start of Thaumcraft
** Using Profane Wand or other methods of getting a 50 vis wand, infusion can be unlocked
** Eyes of Ender can be farmed from Enderbloom or traded for with cleric villagers
** This gives access to the Thaumic Restorer, which can be used to repair frames with Instrumentum essentia
** Oblivion Frames (reduces bee lifespan to 27.5s - one bee "tick") can be found in strongholds. These can be used alongside the Thaumic Restorer to greatly reduce breeding time.
* Can craft Apiarist's Pipe, an excellent tool for sorting bee output streams
=== HV ===
* All the stuff in MV, but without having to use profane wand/villager trading
* Access to the new GT industrial apiary [[File:Crafting recipe for GT industrial apiary.png|frameless|500x500px]]
** Note that upgrades for this will cost palladium. This will require a MV EBF with kanthal coils, a bunch of platline steps, and a source of PMP (eg nickel ore). Of course, you can always use bees to make your inputs too :D (the purified nickel can be HV macerated into PMP byproduct) [[File:Bee Purified Nickel.png|frameless]]
* Access to Genetics, which allows you to store traits and splice them onto larvae (obtainable from alveary Hatchery). This essentially lets you bypass stat transfer breeding and lets you create god bees in a single step.
=== LuV ===
* Access to Gendustry, which lets you force mutations with sufficient power and mutagen.
=== Later Tiers ===
As you get further along, you can craft higher tier integrated WA upgrades for the industrial apiary.

These are gated behind the carpenter, but if you stumble onto a forestry villager he might trade one over for some vanilla logs.
