Several beehives have been added to the greenhouse. The bees are the species Apis mellifera mellifera, or colloquially Black Irish Native or European dark bee. Please be advised that these creatures are not aggressive, but may sting if disturbed. If a bee comes near you, please simply allow it to pass without swatting at it. Do not kill the bees. If you are stung, please go to the infirmary, but also note that in the absence of an an allergy, the bee sting, while painful and itching, will cause no permanent harm. If you are aware of a bee allergy and are stung, please go to the infirmary immediately so that an anaphylactic reaction can be dulled or avoided.

The hives are not to be in any way disturbed without my explicit permission, and anyone caught doing without my notice so will be punished. This also applies to the other greenhouse staff.

The hives should produce some fresh honey - would the cafeteria be interested?

Additionally, several of the terrestrial and subterranean plants from Risa are in the process of being transplanted to their new homes in the greenhouse. These should be very closely monitored and any change or apparent distress from them should be brought to me immediately, as we learn more about their ideal environment.

Boxes will most likely be added to keep the subterranean species to more closely simulate their true environment.

Can we discuss our conversation in more detail?

Your inmate has a very strange way of thinking. Is he ill?

[PRIVATE to Richie]

I have a task for you - there are some new Clematis armandii vines that have to be threaded up the trellis extremely carefully. As I'm working with the bees, I'd like you to do this. Keep in mind that these plants are extremely fragile, and if not threaded correctly, they will die and are not easily replaced. It's imperative you not fail this.

[PRIVATE to the Admiral]

I'd like to request some additional seeds for the garden - fruit flowers including Rubus arcticus, Rubus odoratus, Vaccinium crassifolium, and, if possible, Persea americana. Not only would this add additional pollination options for the bees, but these fruits could then be used to feed barge residents.
