Icy biomes vs cold for bees

[Ceres]

I was just curious if anyone knew. I have noticed some of the extra biomes are listed as "icy".

Is this colder then "cold" or lesser then cold? I ask because there are some bee's who require "cold" as their habitat.

Icy > cold > normal > warm > hot
arid > normal > damp

Best bet for ice in my experience is ice plains as it isn't a giant frozen ocean lol.

Temp scale is [icy, cold, normal, warm, hot, hellish]. Humidity is [damp, normal, arid]. In the normal biomes taiga is cold and ice plains are icy.

As I recall, wintry bees need icy but have a temperature tolerance that allows them to work in cold. If they lose that gene through cross-breeding you would have to find an icy biome.
