Retribution From The Hive
What usually happens when a hive loses its queen bee, is that it becomes destructive and agitated. Strangely, this particular hive had not gone that route, and showed only mild a lot of aggression towards the beekeeper.
Some of those might even argue that these inhabitants were very “ok” with being rescued from a hive where they had lost their queen. If anyone could handle a group of mourning bees, it was David.
The Exceptional Hive
Traditional hives are made up of a series of smaller honeycombs that form the greater whole. In this particular case, this hive consisted of two larger than usual honeycombs, referred to by David as “giant” ones.
Being exposed to such an unusual hive gave David the opportunity to study something unique in nature. He was fascinated by what they had achieved, and looked curiously for other features unique to this particular hive.
