Adventure Guide Entry
The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Benk Buzzbee encounter in Cinderbrew Meadery.
Benk's qualifications for beekeeping may be dubious, but he does seem to have a knack for controlling bees and streamlining honey-extracting operations. But, his tampering has limited the bees' freedom and sacrificed the mead's quality, and this cannot stand.
