Area / Territory is a trait found on Bees when analyzed with the Beealyzer. It describes a region in X, Y and Z coordinates (most commonly "9 x 6 x 9"), with the colony's Bee House, Apiary or Alveary located at the center. Within this region:
  • at least one Flower of the type favorable to the Queen must be present, or the hive will not operate
  • the influence of the Queen's active Effect is felt, if applicable

There are three types of territory Alleles. From largest to smallest, these are:

  • Largest - 15 x 13 x 15 - 2 species
  • Larger - 13 x 12 x 13 - 1 species
  • Large - 11 x 8 x 11- 4 species
  • Average - 9 x 6 x 9 - all other species

Pollination Area[edit]

The pollination area is a second region, with sidelengths exactly three times larger than the Area trait (e.g. the most common Area trait, 9 x 6 x 9, has a pollination area measuring 27 x 18 x 27, with the hive at the center). Within the pollination area:

  • bees will cross-pollinate the leaves of trees, for Arboriculture
  • bees will spawn the growth of their favorable flower, if eligible

Bee Species with Non-Standard Area Traits[edit]

This list contains Bee Species with an Area trait that differs from the standard 9x6x9. These are the default traits for purebred bees. Cross-bred bees may have different traits inherited from the parental generation. Area can be modified through selective breeding.
