Description
Giant bees live in hives, generally in underground areas. In each such hive will be a queen who has 2 hit dice and inflicts only a bite doing 1d8 points of damage. She is immobile, and if she is threatened all bees in the hive will fight without checking morale. The queen is worth 75 XP if defeated.
Those stung by a giant bee must make a saving throw against poison or die. A giant bee that successfully stings another creature pulls away, leaving its stinger in the creature; the bee then dies.
Each giant bee hive will contain honeycomb filled with honey, which is entirely safe to eat and is worth 10 GP per gallon if carefully removed. Generally 2d10+10 gallons of honey will be present in any given hive. There is also a 15% chance that one of the cells in the honeycomb will contain special honey which acts as 1d6+1 Potions of Healing if consumed. This honey can be discovered by chance, or through the use of Detect Magic.
