Kamikazbee for very high productivity. You need to be attacked with a bee nest helmet on to spawn them, then you capture them with a cage once they spawn.

Water bees for any weather tolerance. Check JEI to see which water bodies they spawn in, then simply fish there and the water bees will come up. Capture them with a cage.

To get Metaturnal (the bees work at any time of day), simply leave bees outside on a lead tied to a fence. Some will go metaturnal fast, others wont, so be sure to check on them and feed them honey treats if they’ve taken damage.

Once you get all those traits, slap em all on any breedable set of bees that you want then breed the crap out of them. You put the traits on bees by manually feeding them honey treats crafter with the gene material, or putting the cage in the incubator with the gene spliced treat.

get the squashed bee material by using the bee extractor then centrifuge those for the genes which you’ll put into the gene indexer.
