Tavern of the Boars - Queen Bee

In the northwest side of the tavern is a Vine-Covered Gazebo (NPK). Search for an up into a level-120-maximum area (NPK and LPK). It's a twisty maze of bees. Irate bees will aggro, and worker bees will form. It's a great place to level with a friendly dracon or flamewind, as bees are plentiful and give max xp until late into 2nd class.

To get to the queen bee from the up, go 4s e n s. Stop and prepare one room before entering. The drone bees and queen bees aggro quickily, are no-flee, and hit rather hard. A minimum of two or three well-equipped 120s, and a handful of calm herbs are recommended for this run. Upon entering the room, have everyone not fighting the queen bee calm and kill queen.

The queen occasionally drops a woven crown (level 125 helm, sanctuary). The drones often drop sharpened honey-covered sticks (level 117 lance).
