An exact translation of the spell's notes:
"Transforms someone into a pile of bees. A lot of ******* bees. They're still wearing their clothes but the swarm of bees is just sort of stuck in the shirt and pants and have to take the time to get out. They're as smart as bees too, and all the bees are individually sentient. They're really angry because they lost several levels of consciousness, but because of said loss they don't understand why they're angry so they usually just attack themselves. Any animal-targeting spells affect them still. ******* nerds."
Target makes a wisdom saving throw and on a fail they are turned into a swarm of angry bees (use the Swarm of Wasps stat block). They then have to make an animal handling check against themselves in order to do anything. On a fail the swarm takes 1d4 piercing damage and loses its action and bonus action. On a success they can act as a coherent group, retaining their initiative roll and do not have to retake the check. At the end of each turn they make another wisdom save (using the swarm stats) and on a success they become normal again and fall to the ground in their new location without their equipment, which is still wherever it was. While they are bees, all spells treat them as if they were bees and they use their bee stats for everything. The spell also ends if the target reaches 0 hit points.
Any target who has made had this cast on them before has advantage on all checks while in bee form.
