The russelled bunchkin is a honey lover as you can tell just by looking at it. That golden gleam in its eye is quite a bit of honey that’s gotten in there, no window to the soul. The bunchkin spends much of its day following bees around until they return to the hive. Once it knows the location of the hive it’s an easy matter to tip off a bear or some hungry skunk to get in there and cause chaos. While the larger animal draws the attention of the bees, the bunchkin is able to slip in and soak in the welcoming pools of honey. The next time you find a feather in your honey you’ll know why.
