Whereas many bees collect nectar to produce honey, bombees instead congregate near sources of sulfur, which they collect and take back to their hive. This means that their hives are often extremely reactive, giving rise to their name. Those with a light touch and a delicate hand may extract the explosive elements from a bombee’s hive with a successful alchemist’s tools check (DC 18). On a success, enough explosive material is extracted to create 4 explosive arrows or 10 firearm bullets On a failure, the hive explodes, dealing 5d6 bludgeoning damage to every creature within a 30-foot radius and destroying the hive. A DC 14 alchemist’s tools check yields the following materials.

Bombee Honeycomb (3 uses, 10 gold). The wax from this honeycomb can be used to make insect and animal repellent. It works like lavender paste , except mundane beasts will avoid the creature if possible.

Bombee Sulfur Honey (25 gold). This bright yellow honey tastes strongly of sulfur, making it inedible to most creatures (with tieflings, fiends, and stone giants being notable exceptions). It is used in a variety of alchemic concoctions.
