Royal Jelly

Eligible Apiary sites across the Far, Far Range; Royal Jelly is not restricted to one biome.

Before you go

Check the Lab recipe book and decide how much Royal Jelly your target needs.
Craft or bring one or more Apiaries before leaving the Ranch.
Place each Apiary at a legal site in an accessible biome.
Return to the sites after the extractor cycles and collect all available output.
Sort the returns and set aside any Royal Jelly found for the planned recipe.
Carry the reserve back to the Lab and use it when the other recipe ingredients are ready.
If the target still needs more, deploy Apiaries again and make another collection pass.

More than one Apiary gives you more collection attempts, but does not guarantee Royal Jelly in a particular return.
Gather all Apiary materials rather than discarding common returns; they can contribute to other recipes.

Repeatable across extractor cycles and sites; Royal Jelly is a rare return, so the number of trips is not fixed and each extractor has finite output.

Expecting every Apiary cycle to contain Royal Jelly: collect and sort each return, then repeat if short.
Assuming one region is required: use any eligible Apiary site unless pursuing a different regional resource.
Using the reserve before identifying a recipe: keep the rare material until you know which gadget needs it.

Stop deploying Apiaries when your Royal Jelly recipe reserve is complete; move to the remaining ingredient in that recipe.

Royal Jelly is a rare Apiary material used in Slime Science, so several collection cycles may be needed to build a recipe reserve.
