Feeling trapped by the hive’s expectations, she envies worker bees’ freedom and dreams of escaping to explore the world beyond. She announces a search for a mate, bids farewell to the workers, and flies among almond trees and strawberries—only to discover new challenges when she forgets to bring food. The story follows her independence, longing, and learning through adventure.","The Queen  \nA u t h o r : S a m i r a S i d a n y I l l u s t r a t o r : H a n a n E l -k a r a r j e English  \nThe Queen  \nWritten by Samira Saidani.  \nImages by Hanan Al-Karargy. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.

She had been listening to it through her whole childhood-the entire sixteen days it took for her to grow from an egg to a larva into a pupa.  \n“Dear little queen, go to sleep  \nto wake up early and lead the bees.”  \nHer babysitters sung it to her while they were feeding her royal nectar, while they were cleaning her and, of course, right before she went to sleep. Every bit of her-from the top of her antennae, out to her wings and down to her six legs-just couldn ’ t listen to the song one more time. She had had enough.  \n“Is this how I’m going to spend the rest of my life?”Nectar muttered.“The only way I can ever leave the hive is for a honeymoon or to lead my thousand family members to a new hive.”  \nShe watched the worker bees as they laughed and danced under the sun. She saw them inhale the lovely smell of lavender. She envied them as they came back to the hive and told their friends about the flowers they’d visited.“They go out and play all day, while all what I do is lay eggs.” Nectar thought and thought.  \nShe was consumed by the idea of running away. She thought to herself, with a twinkle in her eye,“There are so many wonderful things to see and do and I’ll discover them all.” But Nectar, with her unique Queen Bee scent, couldn’t just sneak off. Everyone would know it. She’d have to find a way to act natural and leave without any other bees following her. In the middle of the big hive, she announced,“My dear honeybees. I shall leave you today in search of a mate and when I return, I’ll lay my eggs and enlarge the beehive.”  \n“Goodbye your Majesty and good luck! May you have a happy honeymoon. Your scent shall keep us company until you’re back.” The worker bees wept and sobbed as they bid the queen goodbye, but Nectar the Queen had her plans. She thought,“This the last you’ll see or smell me of me! You’ll soon find a new queen to lead you while I enjoy darting between almond trees and strawberries.” Then she waved a royal wave, beat her wings and was off.  \nShe flew and flew and enjoyed the wonderful sightsand savored the delicious scents all around her. She danced and danced till she was hungry and tired. Nectar could have kicked herself as she thought,“Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I left on a journey like this without taking any food with me. And I’m the only one that can’t make honey!”","cbCaifucJWzTTclz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifucJWzTTclz","pdf",1624380,31,"English","en",105,"# Nectar’s Lullaby\n## Queen Bee’s Frustration\n## Plans to Leave the Hive\n## Flight, Sights, and a Hard Lesson","[{\"question\":\"Why does Nectar the queen bee hate the song?\",\"answer\":\"She has been listening to it throughout her entire childhood while growing, and she has finally had enough of hearing it.\"},{\"question\":\"What reason does Nectar give for leaving the hive?\",\"answer\":\"She tells the worker bees she will leave to search for a mate, and when she returns she will lay her eggs and enlarge the beehive.\"},{\"question\":\"What problem does Nectar realize during her journey?\",\"answer\":\"She realizes she left without taking any food, and because she’s the only bee who can’t make honey, she has a new urgent need to handle.\"}]",1784315834,48,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"the-queen-story","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-queen-story/92401/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-23","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why does Nectar the queen bee hate the song?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"She has been listening to it throughout her entire childhood while growing, and she has finally had enough of hearing it.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What reason does Nectar give for leaving the hive?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"She tells the worker bees she will leave to search for a mate, and when she returns she will lay her eggs and enlarge the beehive.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What problem does Nectar realize during her journey?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"She realizes she left without taking any food, and because she’s the only bee who can’t make honey, she has a new urgent need to handle.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
