The setup of the siege proceeded smoothly.
The massive imperial army spread out, circling the hornets' nest with several camps. Each camp was rapidly built by Builder Bees from locally cut wood, wax, and animal hides we brought with us. The camps gave just enough shelter for bees to rest at night, but it was far from comfortable.
Especially compared to my soft fur bed in the Hive Supremo, and the soft warm chest of Ambrosia at my side…
I helped Bloodimina to organize patrols that would guard their sisters day and night, and the patrols that would look out for the hornets that tried to leave or enter their nest. Several teams were going to wait in turns, ready to intercept every hornet.
This work took the rest of the day, but didn't stop on the next one.
