Biography

Battle of Lockhaven

"Pray we have enough honey and wax to last through Winter."— Apiary Keeper, Fall 1152 ^[1]

When Midnight's army attacked Lockhaven in the fall of 1152, the apiary keeper was asked by a Guardmouse to set the bees onto the soldiers below. After a short discussion, he agreed to help and unleashed the bees on the helpless army below; ultimately winning the fight for the Guard's cause.

Funeral of Celanawe

The apiary keeper was present at Celanawe's funeral during the winter of 1152. He was a part of the procession that brought The Black Axe's body to the pyre, and was carrying a ceremonial smoke-charmer. He wasn't aware of Celanawe's true identity or legacy.^[2]

The following spring, the apiary keeper assisted the Guardmice Saxon and Sienna in charming the bees with smoke while the honey was harvested.^[3]

-:When [[Midnight]]'s Army attacked Lockhaven in the Fall of 1152, the Apiary keeper was asked by a guardmouse to set the bees on [[The Axe]] army. He let the bees out and they defeated all of the enemy mice by stinging them. The Apiary Keeper was worried about doing this, however, because he believed there wouldn't be enough honey left to last through winter.
