The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This is a surprisingly difficult quest.
Don't turn in 'Mite not Right' until you've finished 'Hot Wax'. After you've gotten all the mites, you can still use the smoke to stun any bees that bother you while you're harvesting wax, and they won't drop anymore mites. Unfortunately, the smoke doesn't stun the Honey-Fused Droplets.
It would be nice if the Honey-Fused Droplets also dropped the Fire Bee Wax as well, since they inevitably spawn whenever you loot the Molten Wax.
