Stormsong Valley’s Newest Hive is the Bee’s Knees

Blizzard has posted a preview of the Honeyback Harvester Bee Mount that is coming in Patch 8.2.5.

To start the questline for the Bee Mount you will need Bumbles, so make sure to get the Bee Pet as soon as possible since the Let's Bee Friends achievement requires you complete a daily quest seven times!
