"The most delightful secret of the Neath: the honey of lamplighter bees fed exclusively on the Exile's Rose."[1]
Lamplighter bees are unique insects that emit a dim glow from their bodies.[2] Like most bees, they defend their hives fiercely with venomous stings, and produce honey and beeswax as well.[2][3] When fed exclusively on the nectar of the mysterious Exile's Rose, they produce the popular drug known as Prisoner's Honey.[1] However, when they're exposed to the crimson strain of Exile's Rose, the bees go mad and burrow into the minds of nearby victims. Using stolen memories, they produce contraband Gaoler's Honey.[4]
