crone understands bee medicine

The wizened crone understands bee medicine
Her friends are honey bees and bumblebees.
They have given her a special formula
Unshared with any other humans

She gives it to an adventurer
He discovers a new country.
She sells it to a rapist.
He falls down dead.

It helps good people get stronger
It gives seekers what they need
But those who hurt others do not do well with it
The old crone continues doling out the medicine.
Loving the results.
