Bees and genetics

Beekeeping and genetics are one of the central areas of HiveGrid.

It's not just resource extraction that starts here. development and selection of living production systems.

The assembly uses Forestry, Gendustry The genetic mechanics of Binnie's Mods.

1. Find the first bees.

Explore the world and pay attention to the hives. From them you can get the first representatives of different species.

Don't throw away the bees you find just because At first glance, they seem useless.

2. Basic types

In beekeeping, you will regularly meet:

• Princess Princess Princess - Princesses?
• Drone. - drones.
• queen - queens.

A princess and a drone form a queen. After the work cycle, it creates the next generation.

It is through the generations that breeding begins.

3. First apiary

Through JEI, find the basic Forestry hardware Beekeeping.

At the start, a complex automated apiary is not required. First, learn how to start normal breeding cycles.

4. Why a bee might not work

Work of different types can be affected by:

• environment;
• temperature;
• humidity
• working hours;
• necessary plants;
• genetic characteristics.

If the bee does not work, it is not necessarily a server error. Check her requirements first.

5. What is selection?

The offspring inherits the characteristics of the parents.

This allows you to gradually draw lines. with the necessary signs.

Selection is a succession of generations. It's not a single craft.

6. Don't throw the drones away.

Drones are an important material for breeding and the transfer of traits between generations.

Set up a separate storage facility for them.

7. Analyze the individuals.

The deeper you go into breeding, The real characteristics of a particular bee are more important.

Two apparently similar individuals may have a different set of inherited traits.

8. Gendustry

First, it’s helpful to understand the basic Forestry mechanics manually.

Then Gendustry lets you move on. It's about more technological and controlled work with bees.

It is not necessary to create all the equipment at once. First, determine the purpose of your line.

9. Binnie's Genetics

Genetic mechanics allow you to work deeper with inherited characteristics.

This is where they appear:

• analysis;
• selection;
• preservation of useful signs;
• creation of specialized lines;
• scale of production.

10. Set a goal.

Don’t breed bees just for the sake of quantity.

For example, the goal could be:

• obtaining a certain resource;
• increasing productivity;
• obtaining the desired type;
• change of characteristics;
• Preparation of the line for further selection.

11. Set up storage.

It is useful to divide:

• work lines;
• clean lines;
• experimental hybrids;
• breeding drone;
• finished products.

12. Automation

The ultimate goal is to gradually turn a hand apiary c a managed production system.

For this purpose:

• Forestry?
• Gendustry;
• Binnie's Genetics;
• energy;
• transportation of objects;
• storage systems;
• Applied Energistics 2.

Mainstream

Don’t try to create the perfect bee right away.

Start with ordinary species, deal with generations. characteristics and working conditions, Then move on to genetic automation.

Breeding → analysis → selection → genetics → automation.
