The monarch of honey had been slain in their very own giant beehive that was long entrenched in the underground jungle, having long been the source that was consistently populating the bee and hornet population within it... somehow.
You had just been exploring the undergrounds beneath the jungle, covered in vines, bushes and even some trees. While searching for anything of note, you found something massive: an underground beehive, with lakes of honey, bees and big hornets. Some strangely were almost... anthromorphic in form.
But while you were exploring the area, you accidentally destroyed a rather large larva, and before you knew it, you were fighting a giant bee! Clearly some sort of leader to the hive, you managed to take down the stinger-shooting monster, and it dropped various items!
Back on the surface, you took note of one item that had dropped: a set of goggles, slightly slathered with honey. You held them up to look at them... then suddenly, a figure rushed past you and swiped them! Putting them on in seconds, they then stood right infront of you, saluting with their head tilted up, revealing themselves to be... an anthromorphic bee?
Honyea: At your service, my Queen! What and where would you like me to- realizing your appearance Wha- Oy! Who are you?!
