From: Hades
Date: March 22nd

As some of you may be aware, a large group of bees have moved into an abandoned temple in the Western District. Some bee sting injuries of children have occured.

I intend to take these bees under my protection and move them to my temple. If there are no objections, it will be done by the 25th.

[ Ain will be converting the bees to void-touched versions of themselves, and this will let him influence them to become calmer once they take up residence in his temple. They will still go about their foraging rituals but avoid stinging people, only flying away if disturbed. However, the honey they produce will become poisonous. This has been cleared by the mods o/ ]

What will you do with the bees at your temple?

[abgrund]

Nothing. They will live there with my blessing and do what they wish.

[holygrailed]

Will you set up hives for them or will they settle where they wish?

[abgrund]

I will, though I will not force them to live there if it discomforts them.

[ He could probably copy the structure that they already made in the abandoned temple. It sounds wise to replicate down to as small a detail as he can. ]

[holygrailed]

If they do settle comfortably at your temple, would it be possible to get honey or honeycomb?

[abgrund]

I cannot predict that. They will be in the vicinity of my home and its aura may affect the edible quality of their produce.

[holygrailed]

Edible is nice, but I would not say I need honeycomb or honey for eating purposes. My interest is more in the arcane.

[abgrund]

What do you plan to do with them?

[holygrailed]

As reagents in spells. Nothing that would harm anyone.

[Unless they meant harm.]

[abgrund]

[ Ah, but harm to the mundane is all too easy when one works with the void... ]

I can allow it on principle, however I am unfamiliar with the use of honey as reagents so I cannot offer any other information that might help you, until I can examine the honeycomb itself.

[holygrailed]

Do not worry, Ain. Once the bees have had time to settle in their home, let me know and I'll come inspect them myself.

[abgrund]

That can be arranged. I will let you know when it is ready.
