Fallout 76: 8 Terrifying Enemies (And What They Represent)

8. Honey Beast - Save The Bees!

The Honey Beast is mostly what it says on the tin. A mutated version of a honey bee, it's a giant rendition of the friendly neighbourhood pollinator deformed by its own hive that grows out of its back. If that doesn't sound gross, then the leaking goop that comes out the holes should do it for you: what one can only assume (and hope) is honey.

Whilst the Fallout universe prides itself on the everyday creature warped into something unrecognisable through radiation, as that's par for the course in nuclear warfare, really, there's arguably something more behind the Honey Beast than its sticky honeycomb ass.

In our own world where 'Save the Bees' is taking a hold as we try to protect the environment, Fallout 76 has offered up a scenario where the bees are saving themselves. When humans have been almost wiped out, animals have thrived: and the humble honey bee more so than any other. Without interference they've grown their own mobile house, giant protector, and surplus honey supplies whilst we've been stuck underground making party hats and snazzy jumpsuits.

The Honey Beast is the ultimate 'f*ck you' from the natural world where adapt and survive has long reigned king: in this new world, we don't need to save the bees. We need saving FROM them!
