Turns out that the bee extraction from a hollow pillar at my friends house is a lot more complicated than I had originally thought. I have spoken now to about five different, very experienced, beekeepers, and they all have the same expression on their face when I tell them where the bees are. it’s a look of concern and not a lot of hope. It is also looking like it will either cost money to get them out or cost the colony’s life itself. I would hate for any colony to die, so I would give them up to whoever is willing to go in and get them. I will insist on helping though, so I can gain the experience. It’s really hard to put a price on that. The local beekeepers are willing to teach a rookie like me, so that right there is worth my time and effort. But it would be really be nice to get the knowledge and the bees.

And will Pelas be able to keep Tanis safe from the immortal Warlock Sinarr, who vowed to go to any lengths to make Tanis his concubine?

At the First Lord’s sa’reyth… Prince Trell val Lorian has been rescued from the island of Darroyhan and the mor’alir Adept Taliah hal’Jaitar and is recovering at the First Lord’s sanctuary. But while Trell is enjoying an overdue reunion with his betrothed, Alyneri, he suspects he cannot long remain off the field.
