==Useful Info==
'''Killer bees''' are poisonous flying insects that live up to their name. They're twice as fast as most characters, attack in swarms, and can quickly inject fatal amounts of [[poison]]. They are found in the mid-[[Dungeon]], as well as in "[[hive]]" [[vault]]s scattered around elsewhere.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Never believe that there's just one bee on the floor - they always travel with friends. Try to use hallways if you can.
*With [[poison resistance]] and decent [[AC]], a bee swarm is a nuisance. With only poison resistance, they can be a handful if they surround you. Without either, charging into melee is often suicide.
*Be extremely wary of [[out of depth]] swarms of bees. It's almost certain death to fight a swarm on D:4, even if in a hallway. If possible, close [[door]]s with '''C''' to keep them from reaching you.
*Later in the game, watch out for [[queen bee]]s, who can [[berserk]] nearby killer bees. Even if you can [[tab]] through regular bees, a dozen berserked bees can be a serious threat.
*The following are particularly effective against bee swarms:
**[[Poison]] attacks work wonders. [[Mephitic Cloud]] will make a tightly-clumped swarm slaughter itself. [[Olgreb's Toxic Radiance]] will slaughter large bee rooms. A weapon of [[venom]] can quickly kill if it hits, but due to their 18 EV, this isn't as reliable.
**Bees have relatively low [[willpower]], so a [[wand of charming]] can be effective in turning some of them onto your side.
**A [[potion of lignification]] can give characters some much-needed AC and poison resistance, greatly reducing the threat of a pack of bees.
**When things go badly, don't forget about your [[potions of curing]].
