Therefore, the old man slowly but gradually mixed in among the harmless bees. He fed them and used his superior taming techniques to take gradual control of these beasts. Since they didn't have a strong sense of individuality, the more bees he managed to control, the easier it became to tame the remaining ones.
It took him a few days but he now had the support of hundreds of poisonous bees behind him. Only then did he command the bees to attack the hive in order to draw out the queen bee.
Although he was able to control a huge number of bees, the stress on his mind was beyond what he could handle. Every time he tried to escape the mental limits, he would suffer from crushing headaches and the beasts in his possession would temporarily run out of control. Therefore, he needed to tame the queen bee as soon as possible so as to share the burden of controlling the mass of bees with it.
