Overview
Pollengarth Apiary is a beekeeping operation located in the Hernand region of Crimson Desert. Built between a flower-rich meadow and a dense forest, the apiary is operated in an ideal location for gathering diverse pollen. The beekeepers here blend different honeys to create a distinctive flavor that has earned a reputation across the duchy.
Location
The apiary sits in the countryside of the Hernand region, positioned between open meadows rich with wildflowers and the edge of a thick forest. This placement gives the bees access to a wide variety of pollen sources, which is central to the honey's unique flavor profile. The apiary is near the route connecting the City of Hernand to the surrounding rural areas.

Related Quests
Pollengarth Apiary is connected to two Hernand Commissions faction quests:
Ugmon's Request
This quest begins by picking up Ugmon's poster from a Notice Board in the City of Hernand. Ugmon, who runs the Goldleaf Guildhouse near Unicorn Cliff, explains that his honey (known for its rich fragrance and balanced sweetness) has been receiving customer complaints about bad taste. He sends Kliff to Pollengarth Apiary to investigate. At the apiary, the Beekeeper reveals that he has not received other complaints and suspects the issue is with storage conditions after the honey leaves the apiary, not with the honey production itself. Kliff then reports these findings to Ugmon's assistant at the Emberwind Workshop.
