Heh, it seems so simple. I forgot about the redstone pipes.

Merchant and Gristle are right, but I wanted to add that there is one bug in the SMP version of RedPower2 where the recipe for the Thermopile only uses the Copper Ingot generated smelting the RP2 version of copper. This is already fixed, but only available in the version for MC 1.2.3 (so we don't have access to it (yet) in Tekkit).

Actually, is this what you're looking for? http://forestry.sengir.net/wiki/index.php?n=Category.Apiculture Tekkit does include Forestry, which has a bee keeping "section". However, the SMP version of Forestry doesn't appear to have this. It was added with Forestry 1.2.9, and I think that we don't quite run that in SMP. Maybe whenever they push the update that supports Minecraft 1.2.x, then it will be in SMP

Possible solution - If you go into the NEI options menu, is the "Item Drops" button set to enabled? (Open your inventory (press E), then click on the "Options" button in the lower left corner of the screen) This hides the floating entities that you would normally appear when you break or drop something. They are still there to be picked up, but you have no visual que to pick them up.

Quarries build as a different "user" on the server. That "user" will have its own set of permissions that allow it to do things in certain areas, which includes the ability to mine various things. According to the comments here, that user is [buildCraft] (brackets included). You need have your server admins make sure that the username is allowed to build things.
