[Bug]: Bee Genes Not Consistent Anymore

What happened?

According to the ATM9 guide, when you breed bees in the breeder the child should always have the highest gene... This is not the case anymore and breeding does not consistently carry over genes, sometimes giving random ones that neither of the parents had. Pls fix or is this just the updated productive bees mod?

IIRC that hasn't been the case for a while because people were cheesing it.
The child can have a value between either parent.
i.e. Medium and Very High productivity parents will never give Normal to the child. But can give Medium/High/Very High.

It has been consistent for me with whichever bee is in the left slot specifying the minimum value and the right specifying the maximum (if higher then the left slot, otherwise it will always generate the left slot value)

The only exception I have found for this is with the aggressiveness trait since passive is seen as less the aggressive a bee will be born with a random aggressiveness value unless both parents are passive

sometimes giving random ones that neither of the parents had - this is not true. I've bred almost all kind of bees, and never seen new genes appear on offspring. New behavior(choosing between parent) is intended and is NOT a bug.
We can easily compare setOffspringAttributes class in older version (used in ATM9):
https://github.com/JDKDigital/productive-bees/blob/dev-1.20.0/src/main/java/cy/jdkdigital/productivebees/util/BeeHelper.java#L461
with the same class in newer version of productive bees (used in ATM10):
https://github.com/JDKDigital/productive-bees/blob/dev-1.21.0/src/main/java/cy/jdkdigital/productivebees/util/BeeHelper.java#L471

Whole function was rewritten and now it is using new random variable between minimum and maximum genes of parents.
Case could be closed.
