A minimum of two or three well-equipped 120's is recommended for this run.
Preparation
Check your spell mems, reagents and if you can, bring some calm mixes. In the northwest side of the Tavern of the Boars is a Vine-Covered Gazebo (NPK). Search for an up into a level-145-maximum area (NPK and LPK). It's a twisty maze of bees. Irate bees will aggro, and worker bees will form. It's a great place to level with a friendly dracon or flamewind, as bees are plentiful and give max xp until late into second class.
The queen bumblebee encounter
To get to the queen bumblebee from the up, go 4 south, east, north, south. Stop and prepare one room before entering. The drone bees and queen bees aggro quickly and are no-flee. They also hit rather hard. Upon entering the room, have everyone not fighting the queen bee calm and kill the queen bumblebee until the entire form is fighting the queen bumblebee. The drones assist, so trying to have the drones form with each other is another winning tactic.
