Magic Bees is an addon for Forestry that adds several new bee species with a magical theme. Breeding them will help you brew potions, or give you extra ways to make resources for other magic-themed mods such as Thaumcraft and Ars Magica.
To install, simply download the mod from [CurseForge](http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/65764-magic-bees) and place in the mods folder of your Minecraft instance.
Adding the following mods will result in additional features being unlocked:
