Laurelorn Honey is a fantastic literally minor magical ingredient for healing poultices, soothing medicinal teas, and even some healing potions. It is also used in wine making in various ways. The bees are quite big and fat, though. The largest IRL honey bee is the Himalayan giant honey bee, at around 3.0 cm / 1.2 in, but they would not be the biggest on Mallus. Laurelorn honey bees would be around 4 inches in length, but even they are not the biggest honey making insect, nor would the Athel Loren honey bee make that grade. That belongs to the Mourne Hornets, which are around 6 inches in length. They are essentially primordial giant insect sorta things, fitting with that aspect of the Mountains of Mourne, as well as being unwilling participants in ogre alcohols. I should note that I decided to call them hornets despite producing honey+honeycomb:
Ogre beer, a thick, viscous and foul concoction, with equal quantities of honeycomb and hornet swimming in its murky depths. Ogre beer is intoxicating enough to hospitalise a Dwarf, and is commonly taken from a drinking horn snapped from the skull of a beast the owner has killed himself. <- from the 6thED Ogre Armybook

But yes, Laurelorn has very good honey. They do not, however, have modern bee boxes or anything like that. It is more an exchange with the hives by bringing them food and what not and being allowed to take some honey. Any discussion on trying to, well, industrialize this extremely limited harvesting to boost/increase if overmuch in modern methods would be a non-starter.
