Flower (Forestry)

Flowers is a trait inherited by Bees that determines what type of block they require nearby in order for a hive to be productive. "Flower" is a bit of a misnomer, as some Bee Species need inanimate objects or plants without a flowering body. The speed at which a hive spreads or speeds the growth of its flower is determined by the Pollination trait. Certain types of multi-block "flower" will exceed their normal growth limits, such as Cacti or Sugar Cane, when a hive with the matching Flower trait is present and active. The flower trait can be altered through Bee Breeding or use of an appropriate Serum in an Inoculator. The rate at which the bee speeds the growth/spreads the "flower" that it acts upon can be affected by the Flowering trait.
