Bee Keeper Image

You have spent your life raising bees and gathering their honey. This started off as a simple hobby. You would venture into the woods as a child and come back with treats and honeycomb. You were never harmed while collecting from hives and this always startled folks. Now, there always seems to be a few bees lingering about you at all times. Sometimes you can be seen whispering to them or singing softly to them as they float on the air. This simple hobby has turned into a passion and almost companionship with the bees around you. You are immensely knowledgeable in the life cycle and tricks of bee keeping. Your intense study has lead you to know how to care for any kind of bee in any kind of environment. Anywhere you are you can find and utilize the hives of local bees, and there always seems to be a small buzz of a couple bees following you around wherever you go. You can harness not only the practical aspects of the hives but also their medicinal and magical properties as well.
