Bone bees are fine undead bound by wizards as temporary warriors. Although the lifespan of a bone bee is indefinite the nature of it’s venom tends to make them short lived. Because animation process binds the soul of a mouse into the body, the bone bee requires a mouse skeleton small enough to fit in the chest cavity of the 5-inch skeletal body as a focus for the entrapped soul.
Through the use of the Animate Bone Bee a caster may summon the soul of a rodent into a specially prepared body. The Body is a composite, winged creature built from the bones of tiny birds, and situated in the chest cavity is the perfect skeleton of the rodent to be bound. The body crafting requires a Craft (doll making) or Knowledge (anatomy) Check (DC 15). Although called a bee the body can appear as any winged creature with a stinging tail.
Bone Soul Venom: When a bone bee stings the venom it injects is actually the animating soul. Once it has stung the body falls lifeless to the ground with a fifty percent chance of breaking. To resist the extra damage caused by the venom (1 hp) a creature must make a fortitude save (DC 10).
