Chapter 181: Bee the Light
“King! First of the Fifth says new bees ready!”
The next day, Belissar smiled as he finished his breakfast and the morning reports. He nodded to Niobee.
“Great, we’ll head over right away.”
Belissar wasted no time walking to the First of the Fifth’s Bee Apartment. He found the aforementioned queen waiting for him, hovering in front of a row of other queens. He gave them a smile.
“Good morning, everyone. You have something to show me?”
The First of the Fifth saluted and then motioned to one of the queens.
“This, Second of the Seventh. Evolved from glowing mushrooms.”
Belissar greeted the new queen, holding out his hand. She hovered in place until Niobee flew over and brushed her antennae, then she gingerly landed on his hand. One of the original Apiary queens, she was larger than his hand, but managed to find her footing. Belissar looked over her more closely. She still had her yellow hair, but her black chitin had turned into a bright white reflecting the light of the sun. The reflection was bright enough that Belissar had trouble making out her exact body shape. Her wings also shimmered in the sun, causing flashes of light to appear every time they fluttered.
