"Hidden in exile for generations, a chance discovery has uncovered another claimant to the Throne. Commanding utter fealty from those species around it, it calms even the most grumpiest of species while at work."

The Empress Bee is a Tier 4 Social Bee species found by cross-breeding.

The Empress bee is one of the few bees with a special Area of Effect that is active when the queen is working. Empress Queens act as natural Smokers, making any nearby bees no longer grumpy, regardless of smoking requirements.

Book2 Item.pngHints

The Apiarist's Almanac gives the following hint:
A variety of different smoker scents could trigger the genetic memory hidden deep inside Ignis and Regalis bloodlines..

When asking Dr Beenjamin BhD for a hint he says the following:
I do remember the swamp scholar mimbling some nonsense about the importance of smell in the biosphere - perhaps there is some truth to her ramblings. Try putting a hybrid near three or more different smokers and report back.
