Blodd Apis, also known as the Queen of the Wild Sweet Gatherers and the Queen of all bees, was a savage, old, skinny hedgehog who resided in Mossflower Woods and was incredibly protective of what she deemed to be her territory. Blodd threatened travelers who trespassed into her domain with death.
Blodd resided alone in a den in between 2 yew trees which housed multiple beehives, which she tended. She also made a strong 10-season mead from the bee's honey. The old hedgehog was the owner of one of the emerald eyes of the Great Doomwyte Idol, and referred to it as the "Green Star of the Woodlands".
Apis carried the juice of wild ants to splash onto her enemies; her bees would smell the liquid and attack whatever the scent was coming from.
Skipper Rorgus, Dwink, Perrit, and Foremole Gullub Gurrpaw entered her lands while searching for the Doomwyte jewels. Apis led them to her home where she heavily intoxicated the group with her special mead, and further planned on covering the Redwallers with her ant juice so that the bees would kill them.
Fortunately, Foremole Gullub was not as drunk as the others and managed to cause Apis to spill her juice onto herself, which resulted in the hedgehog becoming overwhelmed with bees, and dying the "Death of a Thousand Stings".
