Bees are insects that can create honey and beeswax.
Culture
Three beehives are included in the arms of House Beesbury of Honeyholt.[1]
History
Ellyn Ever Sweet, the legendary founder of House Beesbury, is said to have loved honey so much that she sought out the King of the Bees in his vast mountain hive, and made a pact to care for his children and his children's children for all time, becoming the first beekeeper.[2]
Princess Daella Targaryen loved flowers, but was afraid of gardens after a bee almost stung her once. Daella's sister, Princess Saera, once played a prank on her by filling her chamber pot with bees.[3]
