    Hey guys,
    as many of you already know, Pablode and I (theunknownxy)were building a really fast, reliable and awesome public XP farm using bees. You can reach the farm via the nether portal at the spawn and following the signs there.
    If you have any suggestions, you can tell us them here.
    Some facts about the farm:
    • 73 alvearys with bees that give you really fast XP due to the explorer effect (totally lag-free, unlike mob farms)
    • two enchantment tables, an anvil station
    • Beacon with resistance and regeneration to prevent starving deaths
    • A cool ComputerCraft program hooked up to a widescreen monitor which tracks how much time you spent in the farm and which ranking you are compared to other players
    • Trade-O-Mats where you can buy books, honey drops, honeydew, pollen, royal jelly and propolis. The Trade-O-Mats are automatically being refilled.
    FAQ:
    Q: Where is the farm exactly located?
    A: As already said, it is easily reachable by following the instructions coming in on the spawn nether portal in the main world. The exact coordinates are around X:-1144 and Z:+347. You can also use a teleporter to get to it (which should be also linked up to glitch's teleporter system).

    Q: I was killed by someone. What should I do?
    A: Contact a moderator, he'll be able to give your things back. Due to starving and other kinds of deaths, we also built a regeneration and resistance beacon which should hopefully prevent further issues.

    Q: Where did the anvil go?
    A: Because many people use the farm every day, the anvil gets destroyed quickly. Feel free to donate one and replace the anvil if you break it.

    Q: There was an anvil repair station. Where did it go?
    A: Due to many people not using it, exploiting and stealing it has been removed (also because it was based on RedPower, which is maybe being removed in following Alice updates).

    Q: You're farm is awesome! I want to donate! Wait, there was a chest...
    A: When we started the farm, we were not as well supplied as we are now, so we decided to put a donations chest somewhere for awesome people to put stuff in. Now we are at this point donations aren't needed anymore and we removed the chest. Thanks to all previous donaters though!

    Q: What is so special about the bees and how do they work?
    A: The hole in the middle of the farm is inbetween several circles out of alvearys which contain bees with the 'explorer' effect. This effect gives XP to any player in their range (15x13x15), but only to Players. We'll keep adding alvearys until we reach a count of around 72.

    Q: Why there are so many signs in the farm?
    A: Because we had too much wood. They also contain information about the farm, enchantments and other useful tips.

    Q: Can I buy large quantities of bee stuff from you?
    A: Sure. Contact us ingame or on the forums. The names are 'Pablode' and 'theunknownxy'. We also offer gunpowder and titanium.

    I suppose I should have added <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags to that, to make it more understandable.

    Actually it wouldn't be very difficult to do better, just take time to setup the amount of bees for the correct placement and number of bees it would take maximize xp assuming no upper limit of xp/t
