The indexer from extra bee's can store 1000 bee's in one block i tested it out and it seems to fail when trying to pull the bee's back from the analyzer should be a quick fix ;)

Also, for cases where you can't see a inv directly, why not use modems and network cable?, a bit ugly but its not like this is a moving setup ;)

The indexer is very difficult to use with Open Peripheral because of it's slot numbering system. You can use other special inventories (filing cabinets, diamond chest, etc) if you set it up with a modem and peripheral proxy properly. Image Image The peripheral proxy shown is only necessary if the inventory you are using is non-solid. Otherwise you can attach the modem directly.

I would recommend trying an advanced filing cabinet from Extra Utilities. It should be able to store up to 540 different item types before becoming full, although I am not sure how slot numbering works with it.

Every time a bee is pulled out of the indexer, the indexes for the bees change, and it is not predictable. In order to fix, I would have to select 2 bees to breed, memorize all of their attributes, pull the first one then research for the second one by comparing all of the attributes until I found the second bee again. Also, I believe I wasn't able to push bee's into the indexer at all, including from hoppers, buildcraft pipes, extra utility pipes and item ducts. You'd have to setup an AE system to control it.

I'm not sure if all of these changes are worth it.
