Chapter 230: A Trial of Bees
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.
“New flower tender…is giving magical palace?”
Belissar smiled and nodded.
“Yes. Check it out and let me know if there’s any adjustments you’d like, and then I’ll turn it into a feature.”
The stingless queen just stood still for a bit before starting to tremble. She glanced at one of the Orchard workers nearby, only moving once the other bee danced an encouragement. She slowly, hesitantly hovered over to the hive and began to check inside. When he asked Tarwantrad about how stingless bees built their hives, it sounded like they were remarkably similar to the butcher bees, so he had used that design for the stingless bees’ new home.
The stingless bee slowly crawled out.
“Is…great. Perfect. Great thanks to new flower tender.”
