Epic of Bee Chapter 18 Dipped In Honey

"So, now that we have looked at the fun stuff, I have a question for you, Miku, but first," I said turning to ssia. "Can I get ma honey?"

I tried to give her a cute smile, and it must have worked because she started to smile back warmly giving that look I want growing more and more fond of, but she shook her head no.

"Sorry, I have to feed it to whover you choose," ssia said, with her smile turning apologetic.

"Sure, as long as I can watch," I said, screaming internally, trying to stop myself from the verbal diarrhea that just spewed from my mouth.

ssia tilted her head at while raising an eyebrow, and I could feel my face heat up. This was an ostrich mont, but there was no sand to bury my head, and I was a Bee. Not an oversized chicken!

"Alright, Miku is the one you want, right?" ssia said, brushing off my comnt after seeing that I had just said it by mistake, or so I thought.

"Uh, yeah, that's right, but, Xani, you are ok to watch your sister, and then we can do you next? I just thought that you would be the best to monitor first," I said, hoping not to offend for just assuming that she would want the nerd job, but I wasn't wrong.

"Sure, I have no problem with it, I can watch over Miku, and she can do after," Xani said, with a smile, but Queeny was buzzing around the two ferret girls suspiciously.

"What's wrong Queeny?" I asked.

"Hmm, they will have to be done at the sa ti. They have both tasted your honey, and the connection they share is very strong. ssia will give half to each, confirm, ssia?" Queeny asked as she flew over.

"Confird, Queeny," ssia said, stepping over to . "Girls, co over here so Ashia can watch how it happens."

GAH! She got ! I could see the self-satisfied look, and that was all I needed to know that she was playing with . This was fine, I shall observe, but the more I thought about it the funnier it beca, but I kept my giggles in.

Miku and Xani both stepped up to ssia, and opened up with open-mouthed awes. I watched enthralled as ssia's long tongue snaked out and entered Miku's mouth.

As the tip of ssia's tongue began to spray golden rain onto her tongue, Miku slowly closed her mouth and eyes. I watched in rapture until I saw Miku's body relax and she opened her mouth but kept her eyes closed as she sat down.

ssia perford the sa ritual with Xani, but I was focused on Miku still. She was starting to sweat, but it was coming out gold at a rapid pace.

Miku looked happy, so I left her, and just watched as the honey covered her entire body. Xani was done now and she sank to the floor, and the sa process started, but she cuddled into her sister and put her hands on Miku's.

Riza had taken my hand and I had barely noticed, and now ssia was taking my other. I couldn't look away as the honey covered their bodies up to ten centiters thick in so places.

"Now what? Are they going to be okay?" I asked Queeny who had been buzzing around them the entire ti.

"Yes, they will be more than fine. The shell thickness that they produced should speed things up dramatically. I cannot tell you how long it will take, but when they are ready to hatch, you will be prompted to give each of two of your stored Genes," Queeny explained.

"So if I use them I lose them?" I asked, not wanting that to be true, but understanding if it was.

"No, you will always keep the Gene's stored in the bank. When your subjects evolve normally you will give them a single Gene, but the Royal Honey acts as its own and they will still evolve at the class level, but their classes and skills will be altered, but these things you will not need to worry about in the future," Queeny explained.

"Why?" I really didn't have anything else, but I wanted to know why I didn't need to worry.

"For your normal subjects, you will have set class designations after the first ti you use them. After, you can implant gene bundles for them to evolve on their own," Queeny told , but then continued. "ssia will need to feed the girl at least four tis a day. She will have just under half of her Royal Honey reserves left for this. That ans that you will be spending a lot of ti near the village."

That was fine, and tomorrow I would like to look through the rest of this stuff. I could get Riza to help clean and sort the place, and this way I could collect a wider variety of Gene's.

"Are you ready to go? The girls should Bee fine until morning, and I am sure the other girls will be getting back soon. We will have to get them to co here, and use what they have collected to make so hives for us to sleep in," ssia said, guiding out the door.

I ignored the intended pun as I saw her smile, and I took one last look back at the peaceful girls that were dipped in honey. I was over the moon excited about seeing what happened, but I was starting to get tired.

When we got outside, we didn't see any yellow and brown, so Tag and Sig weren't back with the girls yet. The sun was starting to go down, and I hoped they got back soon. I didn't want them to be out after dark, but a ssage popped up in my vision.
