Chapter 158. Beeswax

"Definitely learn how to fight," I said, holding my hands up. This did not help my case, as Abelha continued to look down.

"Zeldi spoke of sending you to me already, eager to go. I did not expect her to be so quick about it." She quietly murmured from behind her beeswax strip, like she was almost embarrassed.

"Definitely here to learn how to fight," I repeated. "This is just a... Natural reaction to milking Zeldi, unfortunately." It was definitely not unfortunate, but I didn't want to say that out loud. At least to Abelha.

Abelha didn't look like she believed me. She also did not help my situation by parting her legs ever so slightly as if to see my reaction.I might have to start visiting one of my girls before coming into Abelha's hive in the future. A man can only take so much, and this young lady was definitely a lot to handle. In way to many ways.

With a shrug, Abelha disregarded my state, though her legs did not close. If anything, she seemed to know the effect it had and was holding it there as a reward. So close and still so far away.

"Your head mare mentioned that you would also help out those in your harem and that you like learning about them. Is this true?" Abelha spoke as she set the wax she had been nibbling on aside.

"You girls are each unique in your own ways," I answered, thankful to have a different thing to focus on. "I do enjoy exploring those differences."

"Good," Abelha said, getting off her throne. In the process, I noticed a few things stuck to the underside of her abdomen that were not the orange and black fluff I was used to. "Because I need some assistance removing these before we go to my pit." She pointed towards the things I had noticed, and I realized she couldn't reach them at all from the angle they were growing from.

Abelha waited only long enough to confirm I had nodded to her request before turning around and placing her hands onto her throne and lifting her abdomen so that her stinger pointed towards the ceiling. There is no way this woman didn't know what she was doing, as the angle she put herself in gave very little chance of obscuring anything.

This woman is going to give Madu a run for her money at this rate. Is it wrong I kind of wanted to see them both in the same room trying to seduce me?

Ignoring the very obvious interest she was showing me, I got up close to inspect the flaky-looking things stuck to her abdomen.Thankfully, I did have some knowledge of bees from the hives I used to keep, so I wasn't worried that these things were harmful. This should be beeswax and was a normal thing for bees to create. Admittedly, in my old world Queens didn't, but they also aren't the same size as me and didn't blatantly thrust their butts towards me for assistance. Small differences, I know.

The flakes weren't that thick and came away when a little bit of force was applied to each of them. The six that I removed were each a little bit bigger than the size of my hand, and I tried to focus on that more than Abelha pushing up against me or the satisfied sighs she let out every time one was removed. For someone who wanted me to be able to fight before we fucked, this was an interesting stance to take.

Her fuzz was also very soft. I may have pretended to struggle on one or two of the wax plates so that I could enjoy the feeling of brushing my hands against it.

"I thought only workers could create beeswax?" I questioned and stepped away as quickly as possible. My gaze got one final look at her pussy before she returned her abdomen down enough to cover herself.

"No, all my hive will be able to. It gives my guards something to do when there are no threats around, and while I can now, once I start laying eggs, that is where the majority of my strength will be consumed." She answered, turning around and flashing me a smile. "Thanks, by the way. I wanted to get started on building the hive walls but forgot I needed an extra pair of hands to remove the wax scales where I couldn't reach."

"It's no problem at all. Do you need anything else to help?" I said back quickly. Maybe a little too quickly, though Abelha didn't notice.

"Lots of flowers." She replied. "There are some specific species I would like to have if it's at all possible, but they are mainly large ones that produce a lot of nectar and pollen. Honey and wax need a lot of it, and while the Dryads are good, without my hive it's tiresome to collect it from their whole grove by myself."

I placed the six I removed on her throne for now as I went over my own knowledge of bees.They made wax by consuming large quantities of honey and letting it mix with other things in their stomach. Science was never my strongest subject, so remembering exactly what those chemicals were was past me. I just knew that it wasn't a cheap process, and if you could somehow minimize how much they needed to make it meant more honey for you in the long run.

"Well, what flowers would make it easier? I can't promise I'll get it soon, but I'll keep an eye out." I said after thinking it through.

Ultimately, the best outcome would be getting her hive up and running so that her workers could feed her and produce all the wax she needed. That way she could focus on making honey, but that requires me getting her approval on my fighting skills and her getting Zeldi's approval.Not that my little mare would be hard to persuade. Hell, Tarakona would demand that we assist Abelha in any way we could. This Queen Bee had her wrapped around her finger without even trying.

"Nalaver flowers are the best. They're the biggest flower on the continent but also tend to be a dead giveaway that a hive is nearby because they use bees to procreate. Dríade should be able to cultivate them with her Grove... Hopefully." Abelha replied, making her way past me. "Come. There's something I want to show you."

I followed because what else was I going to do? She led the way into her room, following a few twists and turns before coming up to a pit. I now saw what she was referring to before.

"I want to take you up on that offer of that homunculus thing, but I still don't like the idea of it being able to reach me while I am immobile and can't escape. My solution is to put it in this pit. All of my guards will be able to fly in and out to train while it stays stuck down there." Abelha explained as she hovered over to gap.

I couldn't fault her for this. It was a pretty good solution to her worries, and I would take this over her outright refusal. Still didn't have enough points to buy one now, but this was definitely a good outcome.

"Okay. Glad you're being accepting of this." I said back while peering over the edge. It was a good ten meters down, with obvious signs Abelha had tried to scrape the edges to make it harder to climb.

"I may be emotionally distant, as Zeldi puts it, but I'm not stupid. You all bring up valid points about where it's best to spend your time, and unless we both drop what we're doing at every opportunity, I will be without a hive for years." Abelha nodded. "So I'm accepting that I need to make some sacrifices."

I was having a hard time actually focusing on her as she seemed to be bobbing up and down in the air. Part of me thought it would be a good idea to bring Zeldi with me next time, as I'm sure she would enjoy the view as much as I was.

"So if you make it without wings, then this way I can train it whenever I have free time, and you can learn from it as well." Abelha continued before her hands went to her hips. "Just because I'm accepting this doesn't mean I am okay with you not learning yourself, though. That is still something I want."

I just stared at her as she hovered there with her hands on her hips and her tits pushed forward. Learning to fight with her might have been the furthest thing from my mind right now. Well, perhaps not. Mud wrestling was a type of fighting, right?

"Are you doing that on purpose?" I asked, avoiding her question and indicating with my head towards her stance.

Abelha looked down at herself, but I doubted she could see past her tits."It was not my intention; it's just more comfortable to not have to wear anything. Do I need to cover up?" She asked, moving her hands from her hips to cover up her nipples. Her hands were nowhere near big enough to cover the full extent of her chest, and that did nothing to hide the landing strip of black fuzz that pointed right at her crotch.

"I want to say no because I enjoy the sight," I replied carefully. "But it is a little distracting if you are looking to have a serious conversation."

Abelha cocked her head to the side. "But you won't do anything. Right?"

"Not until you are part of my harem," I confirmed.

Abelha smiled and came in very close, bent forward with her back almost a straight line that made her tits swing."Then you can learn how to not get distracted." Abelha followed this up by swinging her arm in an overhead chop that landed on my forehead. I had definitely confirmed her suspicion about being distracted, as I did nothing to block the strike.

"Owww," I said sarcastically, returning my eyes to the Queen Bee.

Abelha smiled again and flew behind me so that she could pick me up by looping her arms under mine. I was impressed she could do that, but that thought only lasted until I felt two very squishy things against my back.She definitely knew what she was doing at this point.

Flying us down into the pit, Abelha placed me down before taking a stance opposite me."Well then, let's make this fun. I know I suck at teaching, as my methods all involve beating you until you stop taking it like a drone. So how about this? If you can pin me in any way, you can feel what you keep looking at. And before you ask, Zeldi is quite happy with this after I shared my honey with her." Abelha spoke with an interesting fire in her eyes. "She wants my hive active as much as I do, so let's speed up the process. My body should be good motivation for you."
