For everyone who's ever harassed me about NecroRezzing threads...Merry Xmas!
I'm at the point in my bee breeding where I'm increasing production by increasing lifespan length. I used the Aura bee to get the 'fastest' production speed trait, and that got me relatively close to Doctoral, so I chose to go after Doctoral for 'longest' lifespan trait. While waiting for the Isolator to spit out a few of those serums, I noticed another serum that caught my eye and confused me somewhat.
Seems that Doctoral bees have a 'Both 3' Temp tolerance trait. I had thought the highest tier of temp tolerance was 'Both 2', which I'm pretty sure is what I've used before in other worlds. After noticing this, I looked at how many bee temps there are and the wiki lists six. However, I had similarly thought that Hot & Hellish were the same temp [as far as bees go] and Hellish just equates to the temp in the Nether. And, when I first started out with bees, I watch some of Florastar's 'Bee University' tutorial videos and recall her stating there were only 5 bee biome temps. Also, I seem to recall mutating bees in the Nether [as required] and then coming back to the overworld and setting up an apiary in the desert to get those same bees to a purebred state [ex: Demonic] without any 'hostile environ' errors. However, just now examining the temp tolerance page, shows that most/all of the bees that require the Nether to mutate also come with a temp tolerance that would allow them to work in a 'Hot' environ, if 'Hellish' is warmer than 'Hot'.
Now that you know where I'm coming from, just how many bee biome temps are there, 5 or 6? It matters somewhat because I know from experience that if you're not careful about which princess you chose, a pairing between different species can strip away the tolerances that enable the princess/queen to work in the biome you've chosen to setup your bee stuff in. And that can be somewhat of a a hassle to recover from.
