"About the only thing the [queen] bee never has is privacy."
"When the queen begins to produce fewer eggs ... the workers create a new queen. The new queen emerges, disposes of the old queen, assumes absolute control... Lesson: loss of confidence is what starts a revolution."
i just love this little treasure that i found at the hancock shaker village in ma. it is lovely and full of wisdom pertaining to life thru the life of bees. it is like a perfect beehive full of wisdom. i look forward to reading the author's other books
