LANGSTROTH
gold dark solid special / combo base
tied to welsummer skin

for those who have seen chamois, yall know that i've been itching to do a few combo bases with unused rares that need more love. well, welcome LANGSTROTH, part 2 of this 2 base series!

meet langstroth, referring to the langstroth bee hive, the industry standard hive that is the one you most often think of today! it is characterized by vertical frames, with a bottom opening for bees to enter and a top cover for protection from natural elements. (it is actually the hive that i own as well!)

the name was suggested by garden, some alternatives are honeycomb, suggested by sel, and afterswarm also suggested by garden. however langstroth definitely feels the most fitting for this, as i feel like honeycomb and afterswarm would be fire craftable base names.

factors:
dinar, honey, fulvous, damu x dandelion, nacarat, goldenrod, sulfur

for this base i really wanted to include the iconic dandelion spots, as well as pull in various features from the factors. in particular, i wanted this base to be a nice yellow brown base, with some spots resembling more the dandelion/nacarat side of the factors, and some spots more desaturated and brown pulling from the dinar/honey side.
