'''Ashfire Bees''' are a type of monsters similar to bees.

== Appearance ==
Ashfire Bees look like normal bees, but with the size of a human face.

== Background ==
Ashfire Bees build their nest on the stone walls of caves and their number consists of thousands. Like bees they produce honey. 

Ashfire Bees can forage for as many as twenty miles outside their hives, at 30 miles per hour, and further still if need be. They have to, as smaller flowers are far too tiny to provide them with enough nectar.<ref name="6.08">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/16/6-08/ Chapter 6.08]</ref>

== Caste System ==
Ashfire Bees have a caste system similar to normal bees.
* Queen bee
* Soldier bee
* Worker bee
* Drone bee

== Power/Abilities ==
Ashfire Bees are considered a [[Adventurer|Gold-rank]] threat.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/11/2-36/ Chapter 2.36]</ref> Without mages they are practically impossible to kill. They are known for their ability to withstand heat, and the way they can even start fires and burn down forests when they gather together. Should they face off an opponent they can't sting, they will lift it high up into the sky, and drop it.

Due to their size, they can put out an eye with their stingers, and their venom can even kill. The worker bees are approximately 2 hands and the Queen Bee is over a foot long. 

== Trivia ==
* There is some definite antagonism between them and the [[Faeries|Frost Faeries]].
* A swarm of thousands can blot out the sun overhead and scare off the [[Faeries|Frost Faeries]].
* They are considered a tasty treat by the [[Antinium]] and [[Faeries|Frost Faeries]].
* They can be tamed by Beast Tamers as shown by [[Apista]] being tamed by [[Lyonette du Marquin]].
* They all have the ability to create fire which can be used for flying, using internal Mana reserves.
* Ahfire Bee Queens can live up to seven years.<ref>{{VERef|10.29 M}}</ref>
