If you break these leaf blocks with a Grafter, you'll be sure of a sapling drop (this does not seem to be working on any and all leaves anymore, just the pollinated ones). In order to see these pollinated blocks, you'll need Spectacles or an Apiarist's Hat when you put these in the head armor slot in your inventory, you can see the pollinated leaf blocks as looking like leaves from different trees. Note that this takes time, you'll pass through several generations of bees before it happens the Forestry mod requires patience for nearly everything.
Bee houses are cheaper than apiaries and bees will live longer in them, but they cannot be automated where apiaries can.Īfter a while, the leaf blocks on the trees will become pollinated. The bees generally need at least one flower around their housing. You can automate the apiaries or bee houses to make this go smoother, but it's not required. You can place either Apiaries or Bee Houses between them, put a queen and drone in each of these, and the bees will start flying around and pollinating the trees. The best thing to do with these saplings is place them in a mixed 'grove' if you already know which trees you want and how to get them, you can place only the required trees in your grove, or you can go by blind luck. You can also plant ordinary not-analyzed trees and let your bees go to work on them the saplings they drop will be the Forestry saplings. You can start by running the vanilla saplings through a treealizer this causes the Forestry mod to 'recognize' them, so that when you start breeding you'll get new species faster.
If you build your tree farm in such a way that the butterflies can't get out, the butterflies can technically do the fertilizing and you won't need bees, but butterflies are somewhat slower. If you have trees with genomes (vanilla ones that you've run through a treealyzer or ones you've bred with bees), they will start spawning butterflies. You can find out about bees and bee breeding in Bee Breeding and Bee Species. You will also want some bees almost any bees will do but bees of a higher specific trait are more helpful. To fully get into Tree Breeding, you are going to want to gather the six Vanilla trees: oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia trees, and dark oak.
