Author Notes[edit]
I went looking for a satisfactory "bee people" race and really couldn't find what I was looking for. The apiz had some features I liked, though overall too many I didn't care for, Small size among them. I also went and looked up the Abeil from Monster Manual II as well, and found them ill-suited for use as a PC race, even though the vassals came closer.
The goal here was to work up a Medium race that gets flight (eventually) and a stinger, with some other flavor abilities. I used the apiz as a base and removed a few things and nerfed some others. The Stinger is an addition. Some other features that the apiz gain are either weakened or delayed. It otherwise has no flavor or real name, serving as a placeholder idea for now. This may eventually go in the main space after some testing.
