In this half of the villa district alone, there were now no fewer than thirty beehives. And that was with Flora Bloom limiting the queens' reproduction.
The swarms produced honey very quickly, but only bees raised on royal jelly were of higher quality and more likely to give birth to new queens. However, the swarms produced royal jelly much more slowly than honey.
Flora Bloom's intention was selective breeding. High-quality swarms were larger, and the venom in their stingers was more potent. Naturally, their combat effectiveness was far greater than that of ordinary mutant bees raised on honey.
But if Sherman Lynch wanted to use her swarms to expand the safe zone and clear the residential area, she could lift the limits on their reproduction and let Sherman Lynch and the others each claim a queen.
