That is what you need to do: First talk to the Queen, ask about the ORB, after she talks about the flowers then talk to the dryad which gives you the breeding challenge for the dragon milk.I think my game is glitched then, because the queen never gives me the quest, despite the talking about the flowers back in the day.
There is no quest activated by the talk with the queen bee but you then find out the flowers and the dryad had said something about making things grow before.
