The sound of the bees grew more and more distinct until the hive finally came into view. He was a bit surprised by where it had formed since he always expected hives to be up in the branches of trees, but this one seemed to be much farther down on the trunk of the tree instead. It certainly made reaching the hive far easier than he had expected, but that didn't mean that it made the bees any less dangerous. He wished they could just walk up to it and pull off a piece, but the bees would certainly not be quite so willing to share. He nodded in agreement when his uncle mentioned that they wouldn't have to climb for it. He was about to ask Acere if he had any ideas on how to get to the honey when the question was posed to him instead.

He chuckled softly and replied, "I was about to ask you that." Eyeing the hive thoughtfully, he added after a moment, "I think I've heard before that they're a way to make the bees more calm... Maybe it was with smoke? Or a scent of smell of some kind? If we could just calm them down enough to maybe break off a piece that would probably work... We could probably even use a couple of long sticks to break off a piece instead of having to get really close." He hoped he remembered correctly about how to calm down the bees, but it was a very vague memory so he wasn't certain. He looked toward his uncle to see what the older man was thinking and to see if he had any ideas as well.
