The Rocky Bee is a type of Bee in the Rocky Branch added by Extra Bees. They are found in Rocky hives, which are usually buried in stone underground and are also found with an air block adjacent. Therefore ravines make a great searching place. Rocky bees are the most numerous mundane bees, but you need to strip-mine to uncover their hives.

Rocky bees make poor produce but they have many desirable genetic traits. In the beginning of bee keeping Rocky bees are not very useful, but they become invaluable once you get into bee genetic engineering.

Requirements[edit]

Pure Rocky Bees require a Normal Climate and Normal Humidity to start working, and at least one piece of stone or cobblestone as a Flower.

Production[edit]

Rocky Bees produce Rocky Combs every 5.1 minutes. Note that production times are an approximation based on the bee's base production speed and the product's rarity. They do not reflect actual production time.
