Not to be confused with red bees who may be sentient if possessed by an intelligent soul. Proper sentient bees are very much alive, and quite natural, known to inhabit the southern jungles. They are not visually distinguishable from ordinary bees. They construct massive hives, which serve as a central hub for their distributed intellect. Memories and other knowledge is stored in special complexes of honey. They are thought to be the creation of certain mysterious southern gods, to act as emissaries, devotees, and recorders of scripture. Tithes of pollen and sugar will win favor, which may allow a visitor to probe the depth of the bees' knowledge.
