Terrorist attacks are the best way to incite terror

My Advisers listened in agitation-charged silence.

"Yesterday, a group of ten more humans—as these giants are called, a word which you might as well use by now—entered the settlement we've been dealing with. On mounts—horses, I guess. They were armored and armed with weapons made to kill other humans—you can think of them as Warriors among humans—and acted aggressively."

This brought looks of confusion on my girls' faces.

"The new 'humans' attacked the ones we knew, Father?" Bloodhero asked in puzzlement. "Why? Are new humans a different kind from the other ones? Like wasps? Or different ants?"

Of course, the idea of in-species fighting was puzzling for bees. Fighting their own, aside from Queen-on-Queen killings, was innately alien to them. On Earth, at most bees would steal honey from other hives, but this was only done when there wasn't enough food otherwise.
