OMG BEES!
Seriously though...
The totem gives you a stick to use on the glowing honey pots. The pots are hanging on poles like lanterns. Occasionally when you swipe a pot, a swarm of bees will attack you. There is a pond just inside the front entry to Deadwood Village. Jump into the pond to get the swarm off of you.
Covered in bees!

What to do
Description
Ruumbo hungers! The Deadwood jerks have stolen all their honey from the Timbermaw tribe! We saw...er, Ruumbo saw them do it! Now Ruumbo must have that honey! Take this... this stick! Yes, this stick. Take this stick and use it to steal the honey from their beehives in Deadwood Village. Ruumbo must have as much honey as possible. This is vital.
