Lightning Bee
"Buzzing with barely contained power, Apis Fulmen is a holy alliance between science and nature. Sparks fly in their wake, thunder cracks from glowing wings, while white-hot lightning arcs to nearby honeycore."
The Lightning Bee is a Tier 4 Social Bee species found when a hive with certain bee species is exposed to lightning.
Lightning bees are unique in the fact that they are not formed by cross-breeding, but during thunderstorms in the Swamps.
