gollark: In case you're worried about ethics, we checked and it is 175% ethical.
gollark: I put a few bees in there with "fastest" work speed, but it randomly allocated them throughout the system and they got geneticized down to "fast".
gollark: It's programmed to select for bee work speed, and does that fairly effectively. Unfortunately, it hit a wall when they basically all got up to "fast".
gollark: Troublingly, it looks like I may have to partially override the bee eugenics system™'s decisions.
gollark: I have it *open* lots, I'm not actively using it that much.
