Money bees

Just that. Catch some bees in a hive and watch your fortress value rise like if you just made an artifact. My months old fortress created wealth is higher than 100000. I dont know if this is a bug, but it is awesome to attract migrants. Also, should i post it on bug reports?

Okay, now it's time to weaponize them. Has anyone got hurt while catching bees?
And I guess it's do or die: either you find a way to make bees fight for you or you won't last long with such a quick wealth  :)

I just know they have a syndrome and that they die when they inject it... :P so no weapons without modding.

Replace that silly swelling by necrosis and it is done. Or paralysis. Just think of the potential... But dorfs would die too fast to catch them (and bees are inmune to vermin traps), wouldnt them?

Yes, a bee is generally considered a bug.
...Wait, that wasn't your question.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

I just did this:

1. Build a hive.
2. Build a cage.
3. The beekeeper goes to get bees.
4. After the beekeeper has bees, but before they are put in the hive, assign bees to the cage.
5. Bees are put in cage.

You now have free money. A cage worth ~10000 dwarfbucks, full of beeeeees!
