The hive of hives grows! Kind of. If we count the addition of non-bees as positive growth for the hive of hives, sigh. Well, at least they can speak the glorious bee dance language now. It’s a start.
But it’s ok! Niobee will whip those non-bees into shape and ensure they contribute appropriately to the hive of hives!
Anyways!
Can Belissar build a new home for the karnuq? Will the karnuq fulfill their oaths? Can non-bees become adeq...

Yes, Ruckanos. The gods favor you. Definitely. It is definitely for your sake that they have reached out. For sure. You definitely aren’t just being used for purposes you aren’t aware of. Definitely not.
Silly non-bee.

Where will the gods lead Ruckanos? What sort of grand destiny do they have in store for him? What is the Queen of All Bees’ intentions in this? Tune in next time, to find out!

Mushrooms? From basic resource plants? But…mushrooms aren’t plants, are they?

Plus, I recently discovered that apparently bees drink mushroom juice, which can noticeably boost their nutrition and health. So, there’s that. Mushroom hon...

Lady Atreis and Lady Baillairgé were once again sipping tea as they reviewed Lilussees’ progress. Lady Atreis raised her eyebrow.
“A friend, you say?”
Lady Baillairgé nodded.
“It is important that we get Lady Lilussees socializing as soon as possible.”
Lady Atreis tilted her head and rested her chin on her palm.
“That is true but…she will be conducting the normal social visits soon, will she not?”
Lady Baillairgé shook her head.

“Please, have a seat.”
Lilussees silently complied, if only so that she could stop using her legs. Lady Baillairgé took the seat across from her.
“Now, I hear you have bound your own familiar? May I presume you can feel and move your own mana, Lady Lilussees.”
Lilussees glared at her for a moment. But ultimately, revealing her...
