Hey Everyone,
Since we won't be having a chapter today, figure it was a good time for some consideration. And so, in the spirit of bee-mocracy, let's decide together! What is your ideal naming scheme for the bees, keeping in mind the possibility of future generations expanding the length of the names? For each, I'm including how the Fourth of the Seventh and the First Daughter of the First of the Fifth would look, since Fourth of the Seventh doesn't repeat any of her numbers and the Fir...

Ugh, it's the non-bees again. Well, at least Belissar himself is currently focused on who he should be! Yes, build a nice home for the Fourth of the Seventh to probably want to leave in a bit!
Anyways!
What will result from Chief Rohsuak's plan? Can Juosiutik acquire mana honeycomb for herself? What will the bees think of Belissar's latest work? Tune in next time, to find out!

Moar POBees, moar! Muahahahahaha!
Ah, yes. All according to the First of the Fifth’s plan! Her daughter is reaching her sky-high goals and the Fourth of the Seventh is offering her own resources to assist her! Clearly all is going in the way of the most favored queen, and there definitely won’t be any unforeseen consequences to this! Definitely not!
As, um, a side note, any suggestions on naming scheme for the descendants? First of the F...

So, um, about that whole workers actually run the hive thing? Is it just me, or does anyone else hear the stirrings of revolution? I mean, the worker bees ARE the means of production so…
…I’m sure it will be fine. The Fourth of the Seventh will definitelymaintain her current authority within her own hive. Definitely.
Besides, it’s not like any of the bees are conducting imperialism, so surely we don’t need any sort of revo...

Noooooo! Firstborn, you’re doing a great job! Don’t give up! Look, First of the Fifth is fine and she doesn’t even have an army! You got this!

It’s the Fourth of the Seventh’s dream come true! Exploration and amazing sights, all within her home! ...if only she could just run out for a bit, but the workers are watching her carefully. Maybe it’s actually a nightmare to have it right there and still have to stay home?
Anyways!
Will the Fourth of the Seventh get to see the sights? Will Belissar find new flowers for his bees? What do the other bees think of all this? Tune in next ...

I’d say Belissar should be careful that his monarchy doesn’t accidentally slip into bee-mocracy as a result, but let's be real Belissar would be all too happy to let the bees run the show if they wanted to. Unfortunately for him, they voted for absolute monarchy with him as king so Belissar’s reign shall continue for now.
Anyways!
Which rewards shall Belissar choose? Will he fol...

Ah yes, the easy answer. Just ask the bear people and they can tell us right away. And all it requires is for Belissar to talk to people.
…
...talk...to people...like...people that are not bees. Ugh. They’re like...fleshy and selfish and inefficient. They can’t even fly or make honey! They barely contribute to pollination! They don’t even have stingers to conduct glorious sacrifices on behalf of the hive! It’s like they’re all dr...

A bit shorter than usual but it’s where I want to end the scene and don’t feel like adding bloat so eh. This is like, where I’d cut book 1 if we split em up so satisfied with that.
Yes, over fifty chapters (including POBees) and a whole book’s worth and Belissar’s dungeon is now...two floors. With two rooms thus far. Um, you ok, Belissar? I mean, not to pressure you or anything and room count isn’t the end all be all, but like, is that...

Whew, that was close. I almost had to decide what happens if the dungeon master gets killed or something. Well, Niobee probably would have done something before then, but thankfully she didn’t need to this time!
And for a clearly unrelated bee-fact: Did you know bees can both sense and generate electrical charges? They apparently change the charge of flowers they visit which lets other bees know when a flower is out of nectar, and also use the c...

Well, um, that doesn’t seem good. It seems bad, even. Shades flying is cheating! They shouldn’t be allowed to do that!
So, um, Belissar, you got something to deal with this, right? You’re ready to protect your bees, right?
Right?

Will the Hunger be arrested for cheating? Can Belissar and the bees find a way to stop the flying shade? What will it cost to do so? Tune in next time, to find out!

Well, you know, if amateurs study tactics and professionals study logistics then technically the First of the Fifth is the best general in the hive. Although, I suppose you do need some tactics to actually use those logistics. But I’m sure that the First of the Fifth’s ultimately most important contributions will be readily apparent.
And now’s the perfect timing for a Thanksgiving break! See y’all on Friday!

Well, the good news is that they’re bees and tend to like efficiency, so if the meeting could have been a bee-mail it will be a bee-mail.

And so the queens learn that they can, you know, expand. Expanding is pretty good, I hear. In fairness though, they were getting rushed by the Hunger, so I guess a bit of turtling was fine.

Dun dun duuuuunnnnn. Yes, do not worry, First of the Fifth. The Fourth of the Seventh definitely isn’t planning anything. She definitely is not going to receive the King’s favor for her present actions at some point in the future. Definitely not.
In other news, the results are in! Looks like Sleepy, Slight Sociopathic Noble Girl is the most popular choice for the Lilussees spinoff! Well, the poll will stay open but we'll move in that direction...

So, apparently it might be helpful to have a pure-fun side project to work on whenever I get fatigued on the main dealz, so I’m considering following up on the spinoff of the spinoff!

I was like, not sure how many regular dungeon mechanics we wanted to do. Like, Towers are ultimately meant to help people so rewarding dungeon masters for providing loot makes sense. Yet, if they got DP directly when people gathered stuff...the Tower Lords could super snowball it by making a bajillion resource nodes at the front and then ordering the Tower Guard to harvest stuff.
Meanwhile, Belissar keeps all the good loot for the bees. Maybe if w...
