Try gobbling down a dead bee (one is enough).  It will make you poison 
resistent.  However, it will NOT make you impervious to their regular 
damage.

	Yes! You can kill a killer bee and *eat* it, tjis will give
you a permanent immunity to any sort of poison.

Be sure toe eat the bee right after killing it, otherwise
hack times out and the be becomes deadly poison if ingested.
( This is hard to do because of the swarm, but you must eat
  it while it's fresh )

I believe this effect can also be achieved by eating a giant beetle
or a homunculus. Now I just wish you could get the effect of potion
of speed by eating a jaguar, or at least have it repair your legs after
a xan has pricked you.

Quite true.  This is also true for any of the other "delectable" monsters
that the player might wish to eat.

Only killer bee and scorpion corpses confer intrinsic poison resistance
on the eater.  Eating a giant beetle or homunculus has no effect other
than to make you sick.

All this is true of hack v1.0.2.  Like most of the world, I'm unable to
create v1.0.3 without a context diff.
