…I couldn’t resist. I mean, what else do we call such a heroic little bee…who now has lighting running through her body that she’s modifying due to the loss of organic parts in order to more efficiently terminate hostiles?
…i-it’s totally different! See, there’s no metal armor or anything! The Tower doesn’t even have metal!
…um, at least Belissar didn’t go with some sort of numeric naming scheme? Because she’s totally no...

Hey everybody,
Royalroad crew's been asking me for a basic map, so I made one. A map designed with all my diligence, talent, and attention to detail!
...art is hard. I wonder if there's some sort of cybernetic option that could do all this for me. If only.
Note that the Dirt Tunnels are just supposed to give an overall maze impression and not actually an exact representation of the actual maze map.
Welp, not much more to say on that. Hope I got everything right lol. A...

Belissar…fed Niobee something that…tastes bad?
…how dare you. It’s one thing to sacrifice her (regenerating) life, Belissar, but subjecting her to something that tastes bad is a step too far! And now you are feeding that to the rest of the bees?! This is not ok, Belissar!
Those lotuses and roses had better taste really good, Belissar!
Anyways!
Can Niobee recover from this horrible torment? Will any other bees suffer the t...

With great risk comes great reward. Guess that’s why the King lets the dangerous one live. And now…now the dangerous one has opened a door that perhaps should not have been opened. But opened it has.
Only the Queen of All Bees can foresee what will happen now.

Is the King right to trust the karnuq? Can the bees protect him from the dangerous one? How will the First of the Fifth respond to what she has seen this day? Tune i...

Shiny rocks do not help the bees, as far as I’m aware. Like, no nectar, no important nutrients…like, what’s the point of something like that? You better not be wasting your mana on silly non-bee things, Belissar!

And now the First of the Fifth is directly responsible for the success of the soldier bee army, as well as the production of the Apiary. And with her daughter supporting the Fourth of the Seventh, she can also be said to be responsible for the scouting. All things now result in greater favor! As expected of the First of the Fifth!
Well, it’s only natural. Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics. Maybe the Firstborn will learn a thi...

Time had passed and Lilussees was now eight years old. To her horror, her education had continued during that time.
Lilussees and Adelisees were currently in a training field, standing across from several dummies. Lady Baillairgé was watching over them as usual. Lady Baillairgé introduced combat drills to all of her tutees as soon as they were capable of casting a battle oriented spells.

Bumblebee home, get! Turns out from my admittedly quick googling that bumblebees don’t really love box homes like honeybees, preferring more ground-based nests. Well, some species like tree nests, but experiments with man-made bumblebee homes apparently didn’t have great results in recent years. Apparently, it’s better to just stick a pot upside down into the ground then to build a fancy home out of wood.
