What ambrosia really is

I opened my mouth, but Ambrosia cut me off with a frown and a raised hand.

"Daughter, you should choose your own name. You are a Queen, after all."

"My name is B9284!" a Nurse Bee piped in.

"B10385!"

"B666666. I came up with it myself!"

I zeroed on the Nurse Bee in question.

Even though I gave bees numbers instead of names, I wasn't here to name *every* single bee. I was glad they were coming up with names themselves, even if this one was kinda satanic. Good for her that there was no religion in this hive!

"That's a nice name, B666666."

The Nurse Bee smiled happily.

"Thank you, Father! It's six sixes, because our honeycomb cells have six sides. I can't wait to be a Builder Bee and make them!"

I raised my eyebrows. That bee was unusual—she could go far.

The young Queen folded her arms over her chest.
