Hey there Bill, I’ve been working with my Vespiquen for most of the day these days since I don’t have classes. I’ve gotten used to having Combees surrounding us, but I’m still confused as to why they follow me around and treat me similarly even when she’s in her ball. Can you help illuminate that?

Not to be disturbing, anonymous, but you’re likely covered with her pheromones. As such, the combee see you as, well, part of her or a valued member of her court, and thus, they treat you with the same respect as her. A few good showers and a load of laundry should fix the problem, should you wish to do so.
