Origin

Karl von Frisch was an Austrian ethologist whose work centered on the investigation of the sensory perceptions of the honey bee, and was one of the first to translate the meaning of the waggle dance.

Effects

When someone is in proximity to the beehive, they are able to communicate with and control the bees inside. Although it does not produce its own bees, it does however attract the nearest bee colony, causing them to move into it. It is always inhabitable for bee colonies of any size.

Trivia

• Due to its benign nature, the beehive is kept at the B&B, and a plentiful garden is always maintained for the colony inside.
• As the exact limit of how far the bees can be controlled has not yet been determined, it is possible that, if needed, the bees can be used to collect information remotely, and report back to the user.
