Yeah, I thought about that as well, but it would affect dwarves as well. Maybe if you had a syndrome that turned the blood into lava? That should allow you to control that no dwarves are harmed (except from hauling burning socks maybe).

What's the fun in a weapon that can't accidentally kill your own dwarves?

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

The problem about this "weapon" would be that if you wouldn't make dwarves immune your fortress would literally burn down in a few minutes. While that is certainly !!FUN!!, we are looking to create a viable weapon out of bees, as far as I understood it :D

Something I made a while back that probably isn't quite suited for this thread but still Fun any way.

Because who doesn't love thralls? Also the pseudo-thrall effect of the alcohol almost makes it worth trying to farm them for more bad ass soldiers.

I just realized two things. 1. For the Win and F___ the World have the same initials. 2. They have the same meaning in Dwarf Fortress.

Or add the Japanese honeybees' defense: Covering the hornets with waves of bees and vibrating their abdomens until the hornets die in the heat. Also no kidding.
