A fortress full of bees, set out to make their own way in the world and build prosperity for bees everywhere.  This hive was first established in spring of 2009.  It is currently on its third ruler, queen Frederica I.  The hive has been split once into the hive now known as Cheese Palace.  The hive's second queen, Freyja, left with several of the hives inhabitants in a swarm that was not retrieved.

The name for this hive comes from a playthrough of a game called Dwarf Fortress.  The game focuses on a small group of dwarves that go out in the world to build a home in a hole in a mountain and survive against challenges their environment throws at them.  Sometimes directing the dwarves in this game feels pretty similar to trying to manage a bee hive.
