本章是養蜂章節的延續。
蜂箱的蜂王擁有某些性狀。這些性狀在蜂群分裂時會傳遞並可能改變。新的性狀通常只能從野生蜜蜂中獲得,除了「冷靜度」這一性狀,它在人工飼養下的分蜂過程中有一定機率出現。
具有高突變性性狀的蜜蜂有一定機率患上遺傳病。患有遺傳病的蜜蜂無法繁殖。
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.
蜜蜂物種存在於不同的氣候中,它們的生成條件描述了從野生蜂巢或吸引到的野生蜂群中可能得到什麼。有些物種比其他物種更稀有。
