The dryad is the green lady at your farm, right?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.
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.
no the dryad is the one in Pleasure Pastures that gives you the task to breed a hornball bee for the orb there.
Well first i'd suggest you talk to all the nephs that are "ascended" and learn what they have to say as they do certain things that will help you later. this should get the "dungeon" and a few things. you should also find Kybele. you will need to find orbs to unlock things. I don't want to get into a specific order to do things but if you want more specifics to avoid spoilers i'd prefer to talk in a PM.
so ask away, we like to help but try to avoid direct spoilers especially for new people like you 
its mentioned in discord i believe
apparently i was miss-remembering things. i've been running the 751.1 version for a week or so now and that's why i was confused.
A wild Minotaur or an actual Minotaur NPC?
Minotaur NPC is probably the cowgirl in town who sells and buys milk.
Amber-Mae.
