Hive Bomb

HIVE BOMB. (See also EXPLOSIVES) With no surviving examples of a working hive bomb, our descriptions are, by necessity, largely speculative. References have been found in several documents from the 1890s and early 1900s, and in these documents, its invention is attributed to someone by the name of Lynch. However, it remains uncertain if these accounts of the so-called hive bomb are fact or fiction for the descriptions are so fantastical as to bear considerable doubt. Should the weapon have existed, however, it was singular, combing the functionality of a grenade with an aggressive, and poisonous swarm of insects that would target the closest human within range. The swarm would then, the story goes, follow this target, attacking again and again, injecting their victim with poison that impeded both healing and vision. An ideal item to flush out entrenched or barricaded opponents.
