All across the galaxy, people have learned of the joy of Bees. Today, you will become one of these blessed Bee lovers.
Chapter One: Hatching Bees
While you may at times find Bees already buzzing around happily, often you will have to hatch them. To do this, pick up the Bee egg carton and open it, then using your other hand carefully extract the Bee egg inside. At this point, you can use a pen on the egg to name your Bee - Bees have an innate knowledge of their name if given in this manner. Then, you simply warm the egg in your hand, and out will pop an adorable Bee larva. Give them a little pat and let them explore - they're very curious little fellows! If they start chewing on your clothes too much, gently bop them with some rolled up paper and tell them no. Soon, they'll grow up into a full sized Bee!
There are rumors of other methods of hatching Bees, such as sneezing them out. While very silly, there may be some truth to these, so keep an ear out for interesting rumors!
Chapter Two: Types of Bees
The Greater Domestic Space-Bee
The most common of Bees in outer space, and the one from which all potential springs! You're going to see a lot of these, and that's a very good thing!
Colorful Domestic Space-Bee
Sometimes, especially with unorthodox hatchings, Bees will take on the color of the human who hatched them. Specifically, the color of their hair. It's fascinating, but these Bees otherwise act like any other Domestic Space-Bee.
Guardbud-Bee
These strange Bees are somehow infused with DNA from a PR-6 Robuddy. No one quite knows how it happens. The eggs for these are kept out of the mainstream distribution channels, but there may be someone who can help you get your hands on them...
Queen Space-Bee
These come in regular, colorful, and Guardbud-Bee varieties. Sometimes they're a little bigger than average, and occasionally they even have a crown! You can get these by feeding larva Royal Jelly.
Fat and Sassy Space-Bee
This is a fat, sassy space Bee. Don't make fun of their weight - their sass is downright painful if they turn it on you. They tend to really like bubble baths.
Greater Domestic Sea-Bee
These Bees are found in aquatic locales, and have cute little goggles! Adorable!
Psychadelic Space-Bee
