A longtime oversight in Forestry is that Modest (desert) bees can spawn in the savannah, but because there's no cactus in the savannah, they can't actually pollinate anything. Some proposed solutions:

• New bee species for the savannah biome
• Modest bee species variant with the VANILLA_FLOWERS allele for its FLOWER_TYPE chromosome
• Separate hive generation for Savannah and Desert, so that flowers can be placed
• Place vanilla flowers in both generators (flowers won't be placed on sand)

Also suggested: Allow meadows bees to spawn in Warm / Normal climates, then they'd be able to breed with Savannah Modests in order to get common. Then the common mutation would pick climate tolerance from the parent instead of overriding it with none. There should be some way for the climate tolerance to be preserved along the common/cultivated line without making separate variations of those bees or relying on inheritance randomness.

For inheritance issues like this, there should be some property of chromosomes, like "preservedOnMutation" that prevents mutations with default alleles from overwriting parent alleles of "secondary" chromosomes (climate tolerance, cave dwelling, tolerant flyer, stuff you'd see on the analyzer page). The goal here is to enable breeding the Industrious/Imperial lines in non-NORMAL/NORMAL climates.

Modest bees in the savanna have been replaced by Savanna bees, making this issue obsolete
