We're getting there.

And just in case you're wondering, this is indeed how you're meant to solve this puzzle. The rng making you lose the mud before you can reach the bees or killing the bees before you can get back to the dragon makes this the most obnoxious puzzle in the entire game, since you just have to keep trying until the rng is lenient.

Now, let's get back to some of the other suggestions I put on hold because we were wrestling with bees/lamps at the time they were made:

Interesting, the description of the ledges above didn't used to be there. Could be a hint they're related to this puzzle?
I say, go to the ledge outside the bricked up window and LOOK LAVA or LOOK CHASM to see if that reveals any new information.
DROP BRICKS, maybe they'll fall down into the lava. If they stay on the ledge, try PUSH BRICKS or SHOVE BRICKS.

Don't you think it might be possible you're approaching the problem in the wrong way? Consider your options and the possible uses of your items.

Also, keep in mind that you've completed 87% of the game, and you've yet to encounter a puzzle that required wildly guessing verbs or performing illogical actions that were not hinted at in any way.

Well, that was sort of my point. The responses suggest we can use the bricks with the lava in some way, we just haven’t come up with the correct sequence of words with which to accomplish this. At least that’s what it looks like.

Yeah. Hence my "approaching the problem in the wrong way" comment. This isn't a game that has required us to guess the verb in any particularly annoying fashion yet, so maybe the solution is to try something else...?

Let’s see:
Bottle- can transport water and insects. I think we already tried to cool off the lava with it- not sure using it to cool off the bricks would help?
Axe- for throwing at things and disappearing things. We could throw it at the lava but I don’t think that would help?
Swamp gas - for use in explosions but I don’t think we have a good transport method now.
Oily slime - the theory is that the lamp can be powered with this. Have we tried putting it in the lava?
Bricks: they are heavy. We can transport them with the help of our rug perhaps? They are fire bricks so somehow could be used to pass the lava.
Skeleton keys- for opening doors.
Rug - for fast travel to particular points
Lamp- for light and summoning murderous genii.
Bees and chiggers - for stinging.
Flint and steel - for setting things on fire.
Mud - insect repellent and dragon enrager.

I’m sure I’ve forgotten something.

The other treasures appear not to be useful at present.

Maybe drop the slime into the lava and see what happens?

Extremely grim and evil.
Mortaring the bricks together with the mud came to mind but I don't think we've done any other puzzles that required using inventory items on other inventory items and I'm not sure the parser would even support it. I'm also not sure what it would actually accomplish but "rub everything on everything else" has always been my approach to adventure games.

The game seems to want us to get closer before we can interact with the thing in the lava, but we could try catching it with the net I guess

Reload the save if the net is destroyed.

No luck there either.

Again, you might be approaching your problem in the wrong manner. Consider your options.

Oh, the "bricked up window" reminded me that "brick" can be a verb, so maybe BRICK LAVA would work. After we reload to restore our lamp fuel of course.

Filling the lamp with slime might work after it's run out. That's what I get from the "yet" anyway.

I can't recall, have we tried just going down from either edge of the ledge? It's not marked as an exit, but maybe we can.

I think I suggested "go chasm" when we first went there, and it didn't work. Trying to jump the chasm while holding the bricks makes us fall in and die.
