Combat
Honeybees are generally only aggressive when defending their hive or when significantly disturbed by themselves. They are more likely to attack when they perceive hair, dark colors, and/or carbon dioxide.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 8, initial damage 1 nonlethal, secondary damage 1 Constitution. Note, however, that secondary does not usually occur. A creature is only vulnerable to the secondary damage if it has already suffered a number of bee stings equal to 16 + the creature’s size-based grapple modifier. This number resets after each saving throw against Constitution damage that is provoked, whether the save is successful or not. Removing the stinger within 1 round of being stung, which requires a standard action and a Heal check (DC 8), prevents secondary damage from being suffered. However, the count of stings suffered is not reduced or reset.
Sting: A honeybee that successfully stings a creature with skin leaves its stinger embedded in that creature’s skin (effectively disemboweling itself), and dies 1 round later. It usually tries to distract its victim during that time by acting like it will attack again, which allows the bee’s hive-mates more time to attack.
Skills: A bee has a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks. * It also gets a +4 bonus on Survival checks to orient itself.
A honeybee uses its Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier on Climb checks. It can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.
