Tamosmed was somewhat less enthusiastic upon arriving at the bog but marched through the mud to meet with the First of the Fifth’s Seventh Daughter. She was even less enthusiastic to meet him, if the stingers shaped from slime poking out from her golem hive were any indication. Belissar was able to calm her down, though, especially after explaining that Tamosmed would teach her about more advanced golems.
For today, Tamosmed just observed for a bit, smiling as he watched slime workers...

After the day’s purification, Belissar considered whether or not to make another DP store purchase. He was just shy of five thousand DP at this point and his DP income had even started to increase further now that the sigmaka had started sending challengers. Ultimately, though, he decided to hold off.
He didn’t feel the need to purchase more monsters, features, or room types at this stage until the bees had finished adjusting to the latest additions. On the other hand, if he waited ...

Belissar was still feeling quite perplexed by Finnakynne’s visit, but Tarwantrad said they would handle it on her side so he put it out of his mind for now. After all, he had a new flower to plant!
He created one new node of mirage flowers in the battle fairy grove, informing the bees once Niobee had confirmed it wouldn’t affect them. He warned the karnuq and asked them to warn the sigmaka about the new feature, then asked the Second of the Sixth to keep some medicinal bees near the...

Finnakynne hovered over the Pit Trap with her arms crossed, looking down with a serious expression as Belissar manually triggered the Sticky Honey Trap at the bottom.
“Ohhhh, so, by honey trap pit you meant…a pit trap that uses honey…”
She sighed and shook her head.
“That’s…not what I thought.”
A moment later, she opened her eyes and tilted her head.
“Though…why do you have a honey trap at the bottom of a pit trap? That doesn’t...

Tarwantrad took a deep breath.
“Ok. Tell us what you want. Just…please leave the bees alone.”
Finnakynne took off from Belissar’s shoulders and hovered in front of Tarwantrad.
“Oh? And what if it’s the bees specifically I want?”
Belissar interjected at this point.
“I’m not opposed to sharing my bees but you have to promise to take care of them and keep them happy. But if you intend to hurt them, then you’re an enemy.”
Finnakynne blinke...

Tarwantrad walked through her dungeon with heavy steps, trying to keep her face as impassive as possible. A girl the size of a hand zipped around her face, a set of transparent butterfly wings propelling her about. She giggled as she flew up to Tarwantrad and tried to poke her cheek.
“Aw, why the long face, Tarwy? Smile, today’s a great day!”
Tarwantrad waved her away.
“That would depend entirely on you behaving, Princess Finnakynne.”

When evening came around, Tarwantrad visited the Tower along with Tamosmed and asked to speak with him. Fortunately, there were no major decisions to confer with his council on and no particularly enticing options in the daily purification rewards, so after celebrating the victory and selecting more mana Belissar gathered with the two elves. From there, they relayed what had happened when Tamosmed reported on the slime bees to his father, the leader of the black elves. Apparently, things had ...

Tamosmed balked for a moment before he could reply.
“Forgemaster, did you hear what I said? Or is it just that hard to believe? I know it’s hard to fathom but believe me, I conducted every test possible, every test you developed. I saw the crafting with my own eyes, I verified the golem’s nature, and I put the slime through the autonomous crafting test. This is real.”
Forgemaster Ughlarer scoffed.

The next day, a group of sigmaka warriors arrived first thing in the morning, lead by Fourth Queen Pezuya herself. Metsaitti greeted them with the karnuq’s own challengers. After a brief review of the goals and restrictions of their challenge, the sigmaka soon began. Belissar watched them for a bit but since Metsaitti was handling things today he soon left them to it.
After all, Belissar had a new type of honey to try. The First of the Fifth had given him a full tray of her new swirle...

The stingless queen, the first chosen by the Flower Tender to receive a magical palace, now the queen of queens over all the lands stewarded by the Flower Tender, received a report from whichever hive it was she had assigned to scout the newest room. The new bee type had arrived, complete with its hive. The scouting hive recommended immediate subjugation.
The stingless queen did not reply, continuing to sip honey from a cell. After she finished her meal, she proceeded to lay another rou...

They had agreed both to the alliance and to Belissar’s proposal for honeydew delivery challenges, today was the day for the two leaders to finalize the deal. The agreement was less formal this time with no oath before the God of Bees, as neither side wanted to be divinely bound in this case. Instead, Belissar and the sigmaka king simply recited the agreement, s...

A small turtle shade crawled through the Dirt Tunnels and, for once, did not get stuck in the very first Pit Trap. Not through any merit of its own, however, but because Belissar had moved the Pit Traps out the way today. As the shade lumbered through the empty tunnels, a small patch of dirt began to stir. A moment later, a small bee, just a bit smaller than a soldier, launched from the ground abdomen first. Her stinger jabbed into the turtle’s behind, right where its tail connected to the ...

Belissar hummed as he finished hammering the final nail in a new beehouse. The karnuq’s smith continue to hone his craft and had made a hammer and nails among other tools, so Belissar continued to improve his beehouses. He turned to the waiting hive and waved his hands from them to the house.
“There you go, what do you think?”
The new stingless queen stared at the box before releasing her pheromones.

The First of the Fifth crawled her way out of the hive, shimming about to maneuver her body out the entrance with as little disruption to the production lines as possible. Her new evolution was truly amazing, but she had to admit it had its downsides at times. Generally, whenever she needed to move.
But movement was necessary today. The First of the Fifth had much to do. The newest queen to join the hive of hives had shocked all the queens of the King with her tale. She told of hives th...

A stingless queen listened to the report by her scouts before buzzing her wings. She had succeeded, the plan had all come together.
At first, when the domineering queen had ordered her to handle some task for the Flower Tender, she had been annoyed. Because of course the domineering one wouldn’t use her own workers for anything other than growing her own hive, not even for the Flower Tender, and so she had to break off her own workers for the task. If only the Flower Tender had given ...

A princess paced around the nest. Her every instinct told her to leave, to conduct her mating flight and build her own hive, but she did not, even though all the sisters she had been born with already had. She had been commanded to stay and her queen mother’s guards enforced the order. She buzzed her wings once more.
What was the point of a princess being born if she would not be permitted to establish her hive? Well, in an exceptionally generous show of mercy, her queen mother had de...

The group didn’t move too far into the monster room due to the risks. Tarwantrad promised to accompany the bees when they arrived to forage so that she could point out each monster flowers and their unique dangers in detail. After that, the group returned to the nexus door and moved back over to Belissar’s Tower to show Tarwantrad his own nursery. She brought along a few of her stingless bees to scout the area in turn.
Belissar couldn’t help but frown as they arrived. Tarwantrad l...

Belissar could have spent all day just watching the new bees. But there was plenty more to see so eventually the tour commenced. Tarwantrad led them down the hill to show them each area in more detail, starting with her own take on the flower meadow. It was arranged more like a garden or a farm, with pathways splitting out separate fields each with different flower types.
“What that?”
Frelis, however, was more interested in a line of identical flowers down the center of the pa...

The day had finally come. Belissar stood before the nexus door. Niobee was sitting on his head as had become her usual place, Frelis glanced about on his shoulder, and the Fourth of the Seventh was flying laps overhead. Three squads of soldier bees hovered just behind him, including one of the bumblebees. Chief Rohsuak and Juosiutik stood to either side of him, the latter tapping one of her feet.
All of them waited in the Fairy Grove. And then, finally, the nexus door sprang to life and...

The Firstborn pulled up into the sky, gathering her mana around her stinger. She dove down as the soldiers had taught her. She pulled up shortly before the target, one of the karnuq’s iron slabs, and curled her body to thrust her abdomen forward. Her mana flared and molded over her stinger before shooting forward, striking the slab.
She had done it. She had mastered the mana stinger technique displayed by karnuq blessed by the Queen of All Bees.
She knew it was not enough.

Belissar grinned as he made his way to the Flower Meadow with the rabbits. The First of the Fifth was one of the oldest queens and one he relied on heavily, yet she had declined to evolve with any of the special honey types thus far. Belissar couldn’t help but anticipate what she might become now that she was finally evolving.
As he imagined different possible evolutions for her, he arrived at his destination and took a look around with his Tower sight. He blinked. It hadn’t been th...

The First of the Fifth’s Second through Fifth Daughters were currently pacing about in a group within their joint hive. They knew that their queen mother was working on a new honey type, but they had not expected her to suddenly evolve. Now, with hardly any warning, their queen mother was sealed up in a cell, possibly for days given the example of other queen evolutions. For the moment, there were no problems, the hive was functioning well as the First of the Fifth’s workers handled their...

She followed the first worker of the bunch and crawled over to the cell once it was full. She dipped her proboscis in and took a sip before buzzing her wings.
This honey was the best she had ever produced. Twice now the King had spread the power of the Queen of All Flowers through the fields, while the gardeners reported a s...

The next morning, Tarwantrad arrived with a newcomer in tow. The newcomer was relatively short and wore a blacksmith’s apron. The pointed ears marked him as some sort of elf, but clearly different from Tarwantrad as he had dark ...
