The Swarmer is a modifier block that can be part of an Alveary. It needs substantial amounts of Royal Jelly to operate and can accept up to four stacks at once. Royal Jelly is consumed each bee tick, regardless if a hive is successfully generated or not. The Swarmer creates Swarm Hives rarely, in a large radius around the Alveary. These hives look similar to wild Beehives, but are dark brown.
The Swarm Hive will yield a single Princess clone of the current Queen. All clones will additionally be Ignoble. This means a Queen will typically survive a minimum of ~100 generations, and an average of 150 before failing to produce a Princess among her brood. However, with the use of Frames this average can be raised to 880, or even 2051 generations, which is ample time for an Ignoble Queen to produce additional clones via the Swarmer. As long as there is enough Royal Jelly and materials for Frames, this means the Swarmer can not only replace Ignoble Queens when they die out, but also can produce an infinite number of Ignoble clones, exponentially.
