POBee/POBear 133.1 - Colla-Bee-ration Grows!
Juosiutik walked out to the side of her home. There, in a small fenced area, was a small garden. Or rather, a mostly empty patch of dirt with a handful of flowers growing. One of them had barely managed to bloom. She frowned and turned to the pair of worker bees flying around her. Apparently, the First of the Fifth wanted her daughter to work with Juosiutik in the future, so both queens currently had a worker accompanying her.
As far as Juosiutik was concerned, the more the merrier.
“This is quickblossom, a key ingredient in the potion I told you about.”
The First of the Fifth’s worker buzzed her wings as she danced.
“New flower? Why didn’t give to King?”
Juosiutik’s face fell.
“I would have, but this is all I have. If I remember correctly, the Sacred Den Master normally needs a few more before he can reproduce them. I’m trying to grow a few myself to make sure he has enough. As you can see, it’s been slow going.”
Juosiutik motioned to the one flower that had bloomed so far.
“You’re welcome to drink from the ones here, though. In fact, I’d be grateful if you would.”
