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The Magic Bees wiki lists this bee as being removed and has been replaced by the Wispy Bee.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

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