Hive Mind (Achievement #19 = 3 points)
Sisters, busy, busy, keep in hive;
chew the wax, make the walls.
Sisters, another cell to build,
crawling through the narrow halls.
The Queen! The Queen! She comes!
Eggs, more eggs for She does lay
busy, sisters, cells to fill.
Each egg a cell—its waxen crib
in rows of cells they dwell.
The Queen! The Queen! She comes!
Summer sun brings flowers bright.
Sisters, busy get, and gather nectar sweet.
Cells with honey fill and fill
for winter comes and we will eat.
The Queen! The Queen! She comes!
Fat grubs in cells are covered
soon little sisters have their wings.
Born to work from dawn to dusk,
protect our hive with piercing stings.
The Queen! The Queen! She comes!
Royal Regina abandoned us
Divided, half our sisters with her flew.
Queenless, we work and wait
until the day new Queen is due.
The Queen! The Queen! She comes!
