Pollenbees are the most common farm animal found throughout all cities due to their diversity in species.
While certain species share some attributes, they are all pretty unique! All species share one attribute and that is their 'Queen Marking'.
The Queen Marking is found on the abdomen of the hive queen. This marking is unique to each species. This marking is also replicated to tag honey jars to know what species of bees made said honey.
Here are the currently released pollenbee species!

Allergies
Allergies
Before going into each individual species, why not tackle what is related to all species?
Some kels hatch or develop an allergy to pollenbees. Some are only allergic to a certain species, while others are allergic to all bees.
Worry not as akeli allergic reactions are not as severe as allergic reactions we are more accustomed to.
Symptoms for allergic reactions include: nausea, headaches, rashes, sneeze fest, and itchy eyes.
These reactions often go away on their own after a couple of hours but oxyrose petals are a good way to keep the symptoms under control.
Pollen Sweetbee
Pollen sweetbees are the most common pollenbee species on the continent, as well as the most popular for beekeeping.
These small yellow and brown critters are, as their name implies, super sweet. They will rarely sting someone and even if they do, it's quite painless.
Their stinger has a weak, harmless venom. It calms the victim, making them drowsy, allowing the bee to flee from the predator instead of fighting it. Doctors will often ask the local beekeeper to borrow sweetbees in order to calm rowdy patients.
They are around 1 inch long. Their thorax is covered in fuzz, which helps them gather more pollen from flowers. Their wings and abdomen are long.
Their honey is a rich golden colour and tastes extremely sweet. This is the most common natural sweetener found in a kel's kitchen!
Sweetbee honey is often used in baking, sweetening tea or coffee and as a treat for kelings. It also doesn't have a 'sugar crash' effect after consumption, as it surprisingly lacks any trace of sugar!
To avoid confusion with any other types of honey, it is common knowledge to tag sweetbee honey with a blue tag, along with the crown-like queen marking!
Pollen Bitterbee
Pollen bitterbees are not for the beginner beekeeper, that's for sure. These little critters are ANGRY! Looking at them wrong, sting. Breathing towards them, sting. Walking past them, better do it quickly or else sting.
They are very territorial and will even fight off other bees when out pollinating. There's been records of kels keeping a bitterbee hive too close to their sweetbee hive, resulting in the sweetbee hive dying off from being attacked.
Their sting isn't the most painful initially but the pain gets sharper and sharper. They will eventually leave you feeling numb for a few days.
These monsters are 2 inches long with sleek body with a hooked stinger. Their wings are also sharply shaped.
Their honey is a bright pink colour and has a spicy taste. This is a common way to spice up your food, while not risking to have it too spicy!
Due to the subspecies' name, most kel believe their honey has a bad and bitter taste. While it is spicy, it will not make your mouth burn. It is a great way for those spice lovers to share meals with kelings.
To avoid confusion with any other types of honey, it is common knowledge to tag bitterbee honey with a pink tag, along with the diamond-like queen marking!
Pollen Zestybee
Pollen zestybees are funky little bugs. They are sociable and will often go rest on a kel's shoulder. However, due to their big stinger, kels are afraid of getting stung, even when they are known to not sting kels.
They have a strong venom in their stinger, known to cause paralysis for a couple of hours. It is purely a defensive mechanism and they know that kels aren't dangerous.
Their square/rectangle-shaped wings make their buzzing sound different from other bees, and surprisingly louder.
They are about an inch long with a fuzzy mohawk on their back. Their stinger is enormous compared to other pollenbee's. They are pretty stubby compared to sweetbees and bitterbees.
Their honey is a green colour and sometimes mistaken as slime from young kelings looking to do some mischief. It has a strong citrusy taste that not everyone likes, however.
Their honey is often used during the winter months when fruits aren't as available. They can easily replace lemon in a tart and more! It is also commonly found in taverns for drinks!
To avoid confusion with any other type of honey, it is common knowledge to tag zestybee honey with a green tag, along with the crystal-like queen marking!
