*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:
*:<name> injects some royal jelly into the back of your neck, healing you slightly. At least, you hope that's what was going on back there. {{HP|amount=8-10}}

==Arena Messages==

*:<name> buzzes too loudly to stay hidden very well.

==Notes==
*The damage done in an attack, Z, ranges from 1 to weight/2.
*In the Muscle gain formula, Y is the number of Muscle substats you would normally have gained, while the bonus value X is between 1 and ceiling(weight/4).
*The bonus stat gain does not appear as a separate line, but is rolled into your normal stat gain information at the bottom of the combat.
*The bee does not feed you jelly every battle; this ability triggers only some of the time, and only at the end of combat. Activation seems to occur about 1/3 of the time.
*The bee also attacks in combat approximately 1/3 of the time, regardless of its weight.
*The damage from the jelly ability occurs after the end of a combat but effects are decremented and before equipment or effect HP regeneration. So if the player has 1 HP s/he will get three turns of [[Beaten Up]] even if the HP is restored immediately.

*"ASCII and ye shall receive" refers to [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:24&version=KJV| John 16:24] (KJV): "ask, and ye shall receive".
