Hints

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

This species builds elevated hives amongst the trees - look for camouflaged hives.

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

Special Produce

When a Forest Bee is used in a Basic Apiary and fills Frames, they can produce when extracted.

Cross-breeding

When Cross-Breeding the Forest Bee with the following other species there is a chance for the offspring to mutate into a new species!

As with all mutations, the offspring of the hybrid queen needs to also be a hybrid, so this can effect the chances listed below.
