Looking no different from typical honey bees, but for their unusual blue color, Carrion Bees are often found swarming around rotting meat. These bees are bred and kept in caves and dungeons to the far south, but have been found as imports elsewhere. Rather than gathering pollen and nectar from flowers, carrion bees, as their name would suggest, eat meat and decaying flesh. Their hives are disorderly, unlike their flower-feeding cousins. These haphazard combs are more challenging and tedious to harvest, but produce honey none the less. This honey is, like the bees, blue, and has a strange bitter flavor, but in no way resembles flesh or decay in scent of flavor. The type of beast fed on by the bees when producing the "honey" will produce slightly different results. The honey accepts magical effects easily, and is often used as an ingredient in elixirs.
