===== 2.2.3 Bee Traits =====
* Each bee has
* Each trait has a primary and secondary value ("allele").
* Almost all traits are separately heritable.
Preferred temperature and humidity are the exceptions: these depend on the species and cannot be changed. The appearance, name, further mutations, and produce are also tied to the species. For every other trait (including species itself), they arise in one of three ways:
# For bees you get from hives, chests, villagers, questbook,
#* However, some bees from hives/
# When you breed a princess with a drone, the offspring bees (princess and all drones) have one allele in each trait randomly taken from each parent. For example, if you breed Forest-Meadows with Meadows-Meadows, each offspring will be either Forest-Meadows or Meadows-Meadows (or Meadows-Forest since order is random too).
# Finally, if a mutation happens, one or both of the
#* The chance and conditions (if any) can be seen in [[NEI]]. There are two relevant nei pages: the "bee breeding tree", and "bee breeding".

#* Each offspring is calculated independently, meaning in particular that each one has a separate opportunity to get a mutation.
Some methods directly modify an existing bee/larva's stats, but (besides the creative only
If both slots (primary and secondary) for a trait are the same, we say it is "homogeneous" or "purebred", otherwise, we say it is "heterogeneous" or "hybrid". Heterogeneous traits are bad because identical drones stack but every heterogeneous trait increases the number of possible offspring drones. Heterogeneous traits also mean that dominant/recessive traits affect how the bee will actually behave with respect to that trait.
Dominant/recessive traits will sometimes make breeding slightly harder, because a bee with one good allele and one bad allele in a trait might exhibit the behavior of the bad allele with probability 100% rather than 50% or 0% if it is dominant and the good allele is recessive.
