Skulking Bees are one of the bees added by Magic Bees. They are a major stepping stone bee, as they are needed for all mutations in the Skulking and Fleshy bee branches.

Production

Skulking Bees produce Furtive Combs as is the case with the other members of the Skulking Branch. These combs result in Beeswax, Propolis and Honeydew when centrifuged.
