#10 Nature's Bounty

Amber walked away from the hive until it was out of earshot, the ventured further down the path. It took her quite a while until she heard the buzzing of bees once more. The related hive was discovered a moment later.

Again, Amber left her bag at the foot of the tree, another jar in her pocket, then looked up to the hive. The climb wouldn't be that hard either, only there were few branches to start with. Though, this was no issue to her.

She chose a sturdy-looking branch just out if her reach and jumped up, grabbing it with both her hands, then pulled herself up. She balanced over to the tree trunk and chose some other branches to climb up further.

In the blink of an eye, she had reached her destination. Luckily, the hive was near one of the last thick branches up there.

Amber settled down on it and pulled out her jar. For a moment, she observed the bees around her, but they didn't seem to mind. Perhaps because most of the bees were asleep, who knew?

Not to awake or disturb them, Amber reached into the hive with her jar, gathering the precious honey. Once again, the jar and her fingers were left sticky, so she proceeded the same way like last time: closing the jar and tucking it away while tasting the honey on her fingers.

Yeah, of course parts of her body and clothes had ended up all sticky again. But she really preferred honey compared to the slime from the Higgus Spores...

Still, maybe she should refrain from gathering more sticky and slimy ingredients this morning...

Amber climbed down the tree with ease, picked up her bag and headed without hesitation back to the castle, though pondering over which ingredient to gather next...
