Book2 Item.pngHints

Although the Common Bee is found naturally and already 'discovered' when the player starts the game, there is a hint listed in the game files:

This species is highly numerous and can be identified by their bright yellow hives.

As this species isn't found by cross-breeding, Dr Beenjamin BhD doesn't give any hints for it.
