Flies

	Nothing is more able to pass through a keyhole than a fly. It flies towards a remote sheepfold, and discovers which are the unvaccinated sheep. It returns in a little while to tell you, then it returns to nature and disappears.
Inventory item Single use Standard price is 40 fetis Resaleable at the market and auction Reveals who is vaccinated One chance in two to be noticed Increases by 1% the chance that a sheep catches a disease Attracted by honey 100% vulnerability against bees (see below) 100% vulnerability against wasps
Wasps
	"When I arrive I will terrorize you." This is a huge wasp which makes a lot of noise flying and has a very painful sting. It is an enemy of honeybees.
Inventory item Useful as long as it doesn't die or is lost Standard price is 120 fetis Resaleable at the market Attracted by honey Coefficient of attack in theft: 500 When a wasp is present in its owner's sheepfold in the evening, there is a small risk that it will bother one of the stockbreeder's sheep, who loses morale. To have wasps can therefore prove to be a disadvantage. A wasp can be sent to an opposing sheepbreeder or released haphazardly, which may cause the following: if the target breeder has some honey, the hornet tries it (and risks becoming stuck there) if the target breeder has a colonised beehive, there is battle to the death [the index of kindness goes down by 5 if the wasp manages to kill the queen bee] if the attacked breeder has a honeybee or wasp present in their inventory there is a small chance that the attacking wasp may kill them [the index of kindness goes down by 2 if the other insect is killed] otherwise the wasp frightens 1-3 sheep, and takes away 1-3 points of morale each.
	The night wasp is even more terrible and more aggressive than the common wasp.
Inventory item Discovered only out on a walk with a net with an insect (not yet available) Useful as long as it doesn't die Attracted by honey Coefficient of attack in theft: 900 Affects the morale of 1-5 instead of 1-3 sheep
Honey Bees
	Honeybees are very gentle, make honey and live in a beehive. A beehive without honeybees is of no use, and a honeybee without a beehive can only be sold at the market.
Inventory item Unusable if no beehive Standard price is 60 fetis Coefficient of attack in theft: 200 When a honeybee kills a fly, the stockbreeder earns 0.5 points of kindness, when it is a wasp he earns 4 points of kindness (20 against a night wasp).
