1\n\nBecoming Queen  \nThe hive was always a busy place,with beescoming and going from sunrise until sunset.Buttoday was different.It seemed even busier thanusual.Queen Matilda's reign was over,and allthe bees were busy cleaning the hive.They weregetting it ready for the new queen.  \nQueen Beth always knew that this day wouldcome.She was raised to take over when QueenMatilda's time was done.  \nClara,a nurse bee,buzzed around the queenand said,“Beth,can you believe it?You are nowthe queen!”  \n\"I know,Clara.But I am not sure that I amready,\"said Beth.  \nClara stopped buzzing and sat next to Beth.The young worker bee said to Beth,“You willbe a great queen.You were chosen when youwere just a larva.I personally fed you royal jellyyour entire life so that you would grow up to bea queen.”  \nBeth looked at Clara and gave her a hug.“Thanks,Clara.You always know just what tosay.I will miss spending time with you and theother nurse bees.\"  \n“We will miss you too!Please visit if you getthe chance,\"begged Clara.  \n\"I hope I can,\"replied Beth.  \nA group of attendants came to escort QueenBeth to her new quarters.She looked back atClara and waved as she was swept away.  \nThe next day was just as busy.The workerbees all helped keep the hive running smoothly.The young worker bees —nurse bees —werefeeding the larvae.Other worker bees weredoing other tasks.Some were cleaning the cellsand getting them ready for nectar and pollen.Others were busy repairing and building thehoneycomb.Still others were keeping everyonecool by fanning their wings.The guards wereon the lookout,making sure that no unwantedinsects got into the hive.Older worker beeshad left the hive to search for flowers to collectnectar and pollen.The male bees,called drones,were the only ones who were not hard at work.  \n7  \n# Chapter 2\n\nA Buzzing Problem  \nQO  \nueen Beth was getting familiar with her newduties.Karina was an older worker bee.She hadbeen busy foraging all week and had realizedsomething strange.That morning,Karinastayed behind to consult with Queen Bethinstead of leaving the hive to forage.  \nKarina explained to Beth that lately theforagers had been struggling to get back beforesunset.They were having to travel very far fromthe hive to find sources of pollen and nectar.","cbCairmywypLZMaZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairmywypLZMaZ","pdf",2141751,28,"English","#
