Bee Legends! Remember that the Queen lives much longer than the other
bees, often several years. You probably thought that all those bees
crowded around the Queen in that nice circular pattern were grooming &
cleaning the Queen - not so! They are crowding around for the best seat
to hear the stories about the big bad beekeeper that disrupts the colony
all the time. Rather like the campfire stories we like to tell.....
