POBee 161.1 - An Incon-Bee-vable Hive
The next day, Belissar found himself surrounded by beehouses. He walked through them, rubbing his chin. He looked through each and every one, pulling out a tray from each. They were all different shapes and sizes, mostly all rough around the edges. But still, Belissar nodded. He turned to face the karnuq beekeepers’ class, all of them staring at him silently.
He gave them a smile.
“This should do, at least as far as I’m concerned. The true test will be if the bees like them. Are you ready for that?”
The karnuq all saluted.
“Yes, Tower Keeper!”
Belissar nodded in approval.
“Good, then I’ll go get the first one.”
With that, Belissar departed from the karnuq village and walked over to an inhabited corner of their Flower Meadow. Once there, he placed a new monster bee queen spawner. He waited while the tree with a beehive built itself, and then a new monster bee queen crawled out of the hive. She shook herself off and began looking around, freezing once she turned towards him. She then took off into the air and began a salute dance before him. Belissar smiled.
“Hello, and welcome to the Tower. This one would be the ninth spawner so…First of the Ninth?”
