Oh lawd.

We've seen what the insignifact Carp can do. Now, give them wings, lungs and a stingervenom.

Bees will probably be vermin, even if they get sting attacks I doubt they'll be strong enough to get bee-related deaths.

Now Giant Bees, on the other hand...

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Maybe some dwarves will be allergic to bees?

And then before you know it, someone will mod in dogs with bees in their mouths so when the dogs bark they shoot bees at you.

Something must be done.

A song that this reminded me of, because of two verses in it.

What if your face was made of bumblebees?
You would be like, "Dude this really sucks
I do not want a face made out of bumblebees"

What if you tried to build a spaceship
With a cannon that shoots crocadiles at everyone you hate?
What if those crocadiles
Could shoot heat-seeking killer bees
Ensuring that there would be no escape

I'll honestly be surprised if beekeeping works right. Don't we still not have directly edible milk?

Why would you want to drink milk when there is alcohol available? You some kind of elf? Now eat your cheese.

Seriously? This tripe again?


Really though, I'm glad features like this are being implemented; I just hope they're implemented in a way that, you know, functions.

Every other post you make is complaining about something in DF. You are becoming an annoying person, much like Impaler was.

On topic, I hope with Toady implement swarm attacks. A single bee isn't dangerous, a swarm of them is.

Impaler? Don't worry; I promise not to flip out, insult Toady, try to get people not to donate to him, and start programming a shoddy vaporware knockoff in my spare time. That's basically the gist of it, right?

I hope so. But before doing all these things, Impaler was already annoying by his excessive criticism.
