Gigantic Bee Drone

Honeybee drones have a single role in most hives: to mate with a queen. Gigantic bee drones, however, also work as defenders of the nest. Although they lack stingers, their mythic mandibles can do remarkable damage.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Honey And Medicine

The honey produced by bees possesses several properties that make it useful for the treatment of wounds. It helps prevent infection and inflammation, and many folk remedies make use of it. The honey of gigantic bees, being infused with mythic power, is an even more potent healing aid. A character who manages to get their hands on such a substance heals 1 extra point of damage when using it as part of a successful Treat Wounds skill check.

Gigantic Bee

Source Pathfinder #217: Death Sails a Wine-Dark Sea pg. 82
The honeybee is industrious and generally quite gentle. Following an upwelling of mythic power, however, a number of bee colonies found themselves transformed into gigantic specimens, along with the fields where they harvest nectar. These bees act mostly as they did prior to the infusion of mythic power, except they’re far better able to defend themselves and their hives.
