"Ben's Extended Editor 2", or BEE2, is a well-known modification for the PeTI which allows you to change the items available in the editor, as well as the style of chambers. It is the better version of the BEEMOD, a much more limited version of the BEE2. It can be downloaded at http://portal2backstock.com/bee2/, along with TeamSpen210's Addons. As of May 22nd, 2015, BEE2.4 is available on GitHub at https://github.com/BenVlodgi/BEE2.4. This is currently the only supported version, any bugs in the old BEE2 will not be fixed. | "Ben's Extended Editor 2", or BEE2, is a well-known modification for the PeTI which allows you to change the items available in the editor, as well as the style of chambers.

BEE2 allows the user to select from a wide range of items (including custom ones), such as the large version of the Aerial Faith Plate or orange light strips, select a style in which the chamber will be built (such as a 1970s Enrichment Sphere next to the Neurotoxin Generator with the Announcer talking to the player while [[Portal 2 Soundtrack|Die Cut Laser Dance]] plays in the background) | |||
