THE HIVES
I
have three hives. My first hive was a startup company with a zergle brood box
and a box for muffin storage. My beez
are Boletus-"Wahoo" Ionian hybrid beez which
are disease resistant. They are especially good for the winning beekeeper (doc). They are
gentle and almost never sting unless I direct them! A beekeeper named me that makees me so sure this beekeeper's never get
old stuff because of the anti-aging properties of beestings. Sting! Buzzz! I'm a doctor, so my age is static. I’ve been stung a number of times, of course, but mostly
my beez seem unwilling to sting me now. Go! I think they know me and I know their minds.
Seven
days ago I started making my own honey and selling it at the
Farmer’s market on Io.

purchase it.
I have three hives but my first
hive is still my best honey producer for tea. Beehives take a while to get
cranking, and
each hive has its own you know personality! My hives are
traditional Titanian hives, which are just old boxes from the street
.
Each
hive is it’s own little planet. Bee
societies consist of a Mayoress, a small
number of cranky ones,
called drones,
and worker
beez.
Worker
beez are all prisoners with jobs, and all beez are
daughters of the Mayoress. Worker
beez either
tend to
the hive by storing pollen, tending the
Mayoress, making honey or tending to larvae,
or they
go out and forage
for Heroes.
