Species: Draco apidae bombus
The “Bumblebee Dragon”
Common name: Bumbling Floaters
Notes: Like bees, Floaters are a honey producing hive species of dragon. Unlike bees, they get their nutrients from salt mines rather than sweet nectar, leading to dragon honey acquiring a particularly salty taste. Dragon honey is a common ingredient in many savory meals, whether it be for seasoning, soups, or garnishes. It is quite expensive however as Floater hives are difficult to find without tracking down a stray Floater that made its way to the surface. Experienced keepers may have dragon honey on the market depending on the season.
