There is a huge nest of vulture bees in a symbiotic relationship with some sort of warlock beekeeper.
They actually oppose the ghouls, competing for resources.
Vulture bees, also known as necrophagous bees, are bees that feed on carrion, or dead animals. They play an important role in the ecosystem by helping to break down and recycle dead matter.
As for a fictional vulture bee beekeeper sorcerer, here is an example character:
