"What's going on? Could there be a mutiny?!"
Seeing the bees fighting amongst themselves, Suming was shocked. It had been a good month since he last saw them, and now he wondered if there was some conflict between the honeybees and the wasps, or if something had happened to the honeybees themselves that started infighting.
Looking closely, most of the wasps weren't participating in the battle. They were grouped together, guarding the largest hive; it didn't look like a mutiny. They were probably protecting the Queen Bee's safety.
Moreover, honeybees are naturally pacifistic, and their stingers can only be used once. After stinging, they would die, so honeybees normally won't engage in battle lightly, let alone attack their trenchmates, the wasps, without any good reason.
Furthermore, with the Queen Bee, whose intelligence far exceeded that of a regular honeybee, presiding over the swarm, such circumstances should have never occurred. The swarm should only thrive and grow.
