Oh man, thank you so much. Seems like I'm blind too 'cause I did NOT see the fairly obvious entrance to the queen's hideout.
... Still want my Darwin Award tho.
Regarding this guy that asks us to take out the Queen Bee so they can stop reproducing... Is he talking about the bee nest northwest of Royal City? He mentions a forest near Ceder Village, but that's FAR from there. There's one, but no Queen in it. The only interaction available with the Queen is giving her honey, anyway. Is there another nest? Another forest? Am I stupid? What the hell? (help).
