本章是养蜂章节的延续。
蜂箱的蜂王拥有某些性状。这些性状在蜂群分裂时会传递并可能改变。新的性状通常只能从野生蜜蜂中获得,除了「冷静度」这一性状,它在人工饲养下的分蜂过程中有一定几率出现。
具有高突变性性状的蜜蜂有一定几率患上遗传病。患有遗传病的蜜蜂无法繁殖。
Bees subject to improper conditions can develop Parasitic Infections. These conditions do not have to do with their species and may spontaneously occur in wild bees. These conditions include: the hive touching any other block besides for the block below it; temperatures below -18 or above 27°C; rainfall below 50 or above 470mm. Infected bees cannot make honey.
Using Blue Mold (from cheesemaking) on a hive cures brood infections. It works on all parasitic infections except Varroa, which must be escaped by swarming.
Refer to the next pages for information on bee species.
蜜蜂物种存在于不同的气候中,它们的生成条件描述了从野生蜂巢或吸引到的野生蜂群中可能得到什么。有些物种比其他物种更稀有。
