Unless you want to get up close and personal with it...

Melli is very sensitive about her tail. No one's quite sure...why she has it? But Burnel residents that have been around for a while, and patronize The Honeybee often know better than to ask her about it unless they want a drycleaning bill. She has a habit of flopping her tail down on top of people who annoy her and slowly turning its production of honey up until they apologize, or are weighed down to the floor by viscous goo.

It's a pretty good preventative...
