Gossamer Bees are one of the bees from the Skulking Branch. Gossamer Bees produce Silky Combs (and, by extension, Silk Wisps) at a rate which is about 50% faster than that of Tropical Bees and at about the same rate as the rare and season-dependent Leporine Bee. However, it requires quite a bit more work to acquire, requiring mid- to high-tier bees in its resultant mutation.

The Magic Bees wiki lists this bee as being removed and has been replaced by the Wispy Bee.

Production[edit]

Gossamer Bees produce Silky Combs. These result in Silky Propolis and Honey Drops when centrifuged.
