In the Human research lab on the second floor you go to, there's a thing
called the seal of flame.  You can break the seal by equipping the blood
claws and then pressing the X button in front of it.  But don't use ice
on it just yet!  Look in the room that's not on fire.  With the blood
claws, attack the brown bookcase and get the Palmira Bee to come out. 
Next, walk into the room that's on fire and the Bee will follow you. 
The fire shouldn't harm you that much if you run out right away, but it
will instantly kill the Palmira bee.  Sometimes you get a precious item
called the palmira ore that sells at the shop for 1000 palmira pieces to
buy whatever you're heart desires.  So whenever you have some spare
time, go and set fire to some bugs to earn free cash.
