Britain, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – November 18, 2011 – by Ashlynn – Britannia was struck by another civil disturbance today as the beekeepers of Britain massed outside the city’s largest apiary making demands not unlike those of the baker’s guild of Trinsic some weeks ago.
Captain Gwen and several volunteers met the angry crowd of Beekeepers head on and after they refused to stand down, attempted to arrest them and their leader, one Lady Angela.
In response, Angela began setting fire to the many hives in the neighbouring field, an act that released a terrible swarm of angry bees that attacked all those present. After the bees were dealt with, the Beekeepers themselves took up arms and attacked the Captain and her group of militia. They were soon fought off though the apiary building was gutted by fire in the chaos.
It would appear that Angela escaped although several other Beekeepers were placed under arrest. Still, the whole incident seems suspicious as the incoherent demands of the apiculturists and the similarity to the Trinsic Baker’s Guild situation may suggest an agitator manipulating events behind the scenes.
