I wake up to some of the nobles buzzing about the room.  The tree seems rather full.  I think we should move soon if we run out of room.  Well, let's get all of the names sorted out.

"Buzz.  Buzz, Buzz."  (Nobles here, names grow near.  As names take flight, let the naming ceremony be tonight.)  Beest nods and makes the announcement to everyone.  It seems no one else can easily understand my speaking. 

"Tonight we are going to give the new nobles their last names.  If anyone wants a specific last name, it can be arranged.  If you want a complete new name, that can also be decided.  I hope that we can decide our roles as well.  We need all the help we can get."  Everyone was dismissed from the announcement.  A lot were talking about their names.  Some even spoke to me and Beest about some other matters on the specialty of each person.

"I believe we should have each noble help command a certain amount of bees.  The commands to the bees can be over ruled by the royal family.  That would mostly prevent certain things like death.  That's what I think, anyway."  A noble said.  Since the nobles are also technically Humbee's, we can distinguish one bee from the next. Maybe we can have generals that can lead a large army-like amount of bees.  We end the discussion after a while and we wait for the ceremony to take place. 

------

All of the nobles are bowing before me in a line.  I plan to have Beest give the names himself since I'm difficult to understand.  He starts the ceremony.

"Humbee's and bee beastmen alike, I welcome everyone to the naming ceremony.  I would like to thank everyone for attending tonight on behalf of the queen."  I nod.  "Shall we get started, my queen?"

"Buzz!"  (This is a time of need, so give them greed!)  He takes my answer as a yes.

"Now, let's start.  Ash, my first acquaintance, stand forth for your name."  He gets up and bows while standing.  "The name bestowed upon you is Ash Vewil.  Take it with pride.  Now, Vix, stand near."

She does the same thing that Ash did, and she received the name of Vix Trell.  This went on for the rest of the group.  All the nobles each received a flower crown from the bees.  I clap at the newly named nobles.  Each of them receive some flowers to eat as well.  We have another party, but not as big as the last.  Some of the bees go out side to collect more flowers since we had used quite a lot of them for the celebrations.  We ended the celebration later by assigning bees to the nobles.

A large majority of bees are going to either be war bees, royal assigned bees, collectors, or normal bees.  The minority is noble bees and specific bees.  We plan on expanding to the outside of the tree and possibly to other trees.  We don't plan on damaging the trees because we want the them to grow bigger so we can expand with them.  We want to have ladders and stairs to wrap around trees while not constricting them.  We were thinking of using the vines that hang off of the trees to do it.

Since the vines were not an official part of the tree, we were going to take some of them off and use that as a type of rope.  We were also going to do a thin coat of honey on some vines for hunting traps.  We can also try to plant some berry bushes near the hive for some food.  Even though the bees only need flowers to survive, the beastmen are still humanoids.  They need as much meats, fruits, and vegetables as any other human. 

Perhaps we could also put some of the nobles in the branches or keep them in the hole in the tree.  I am staying where I'm at.  It's troublesome to move a lot.  Looking at Beest, I have a question.

"Buzz?"  (My mouth of honey, is your kind's as sweet?)  I ask.

"We actually can't produce honey like you, I'm sure your the only one.  So as long as you live, we can still have honey.  And I know that isn't happening anytime soon... or at all."  He says.  All of the nobles have started to go to bed.  I pass him a jar of honey and he starts to eat it.  All of the bees don't mind eating honey, even if they knew where it came from.  It was a delicacy, after all.

After talking with Beest a bit, we decided to start working on expanding the hive to the outside of the tree.  We could also have an alliance with the elves.  We can provide honey, a bit of protection, and support.  Elves can help us with building our own place.  Yes, let's get started!
