Ancient Origins and Early Domestication

The story of the Messenger Bee begins in Gondwana, an ancient supercontinent formed 600 million years ago; here, all bees originate. First, there were stinging, predatory bees. Later, groups transitioned from predatory wasps to gentle pollinators, eventually bringing Apidae to life: the bumblebee family. This shift not only helped flowering plants flourish but also caught the attention of the fae, who saw potential in these industrious insects.1


Fae society, with its advanced magical knowledge and reverence for nature, began domesticating bees for various purposes—gardening, food production, and, notably, as simple messengers. Through complex rituals and magical engineering, the fae (under the elf, Canridamas) created the first Messenger Bees hundreds of thousands of years later, imbuing them with the ability to predict events and communicate through color-coded signals. These bees were integral to fae communities, acting as a living notification system and helping maintain the delicate balance between the fae, their environment, and control.
