"This little boy has tormented us for a long time and today is the straw that has broken the camel's back. With heaviness in our hearts, I fear we will have to… Unleash the animal system!" The queen bee said, stammering in her voice.
"Yes, your majesty," Mrs Jane, the head worker bee said.
The head worker bee, Mrs Jane, walked through the walls of the hive to the secret control room and instructed the workers to alert the animal headquarters.
A shiny young worker bee, named Perrie, who wore a honey brown top and a navy blue cap, paired with a navy blue tie, walked to where there was a big glass shielding a red button.
She, along with the help of some other bees, removed the heavy glass shield.
"On my order, we will collectively press this button and alert the animal headquarters!" Perrie the bee said.
"One! Two! Three! Go!" Perrie, he ordered, and they pressed the button and everywhere in the colony shook like there was an earthquake. There was a glaring bass sound and bold red lights blinked around the colony.
The bees had alerted the animal headquarters to unleash the animal system on Manny.
The signal the bees sent had reached the animal headquarters and the chief of the headquarters requested an emergency meeting.
A letter came through the portal that looked like a pipe. The portal was just beside the big red button. This portal was a medium where letters were sent to the colony from the headquarters when they requested any signal or if there was any collective news from the headquarters.
The head worker bee, Mrs Jane, retrieved the letter and tucked it into her little honey brown sling bag.
"Get back to work!" She instructed with a stern face and Perrie and the other workers bowed and continued to work.
With that, she left the secret control room and walked towards the bee hospital, where she would read the letter to her majesty the queen and wait for the final reply.
If one were to describe Mrs Jane, they would say she looked like a middle-aged, plus-sized human in her mid-thirties.
She always wore a frown, and she had a hoarse voice that she would use to give orders. She was married to Mister Bumblebee. Everyone knew male bees literally had no power, so she ran things in the home.
Mister Bumblebee was her bee high school sweetheart, and she loved him to pieces, but she had a rude and authoritative nature and would sometimes yell at him.
She was second in command to the queen and her rude nature was part of her because she had to deal with stubborn bees for months.
She had a shiny gold thorax and her abdominal colors were rich and shiny from her scrubbing them with expensive honey shampoo. Her stinger was black and shiny, and she made sure to oil it down every morning.
She wore a uniform that all bees wore during work hours, which was a black cap, a black tie and a honey brown top. With suede boots to match.
She held the letter and passed through the halls, instructing bees that she saw slacking and went to the hospital.
She requested to see the queen, and she was directed to the queen's ward.
"Your majesty is in great pain. She can barely walk or speak. I'm not sure if she will be able to discuss it with you, you should give her majesty time to rest," the bee doctor told her.
The walls of the hospital were white and shiny with some bee-shaped lights and the nurses wore white and when Mrs Jane walked into the ward she saw her majesty, the queen bee lying in the bed with a drip of honey passing through her veins.
She looked sick and pale and let out a weak cough.
Touched by the pain her majesty was in, Mrs Jane gave her a pat on her back. The harm Manny had done had destroyed the wings of the queen bee.
It had also poked through her stinger and she laid there, almost looking lifeless, while the doctors and the nurses ran around to try to salvage her.
Touched by seeing the once active and energetic queen in a weak state, Mrs Jane removed her cap and bowed before the queen's presence. She then sat on the side of the bed and touched the queen lightly.
"Your majesty, the letter. It's from the animal headquarters. I gave a signal for them to unleash the animal system on the boy. This is their reply," Mrs Jane said as she stretched out the letter to the queen.
The queen managed to open her eyes and she coughed rigorously. But her hands were too weak to get the letter.
"Read it," the queen instructed Mrs Jane.
Mrs Jane opened the contents of the letter and read it.
"The animal headquarters have seen your signal and have agreed to act on it. While this is quite strange, the bees hardly complain about anything and for her to make this signal, it shows that the matter should be treated with the utmost urgency," Mr Sid the snake wrote.
Mister Sid the snake was the leader of the animal headquarters. He founded the animal headquarters and brought up the animal system thirty years ago as a renowned scientist and retired researcher.
He was extremely wise.
"For this emergency, a meeting will be held at the Mufasa hall in the lion's den in Tanzania this evening from Six PM. We will address this issue and act accordingly. May her royal majesty, the queen bee's reign, be high above all and May she prosper in all her years as the queen, thank you," Mrs Jane read all the contents of the letter to the queen.
Some nurses murmured and were asking how the bees would go to Tanzania for the meeting. The bees would simply teleport! There was an advanced mechanism by which they could teleport to see other animals and go for meetings!
"You should go and represent me for the meeting. Take one worker bee with you and one drone. When you're back, detail the meeting and get back to me on any decision made," the queen instructed.
The queen closed her eyes again to sleep.
"The queen needs some rest to gain back all the strength she had lost. I suggest you give her time and privacy," the doctor told Mrs Jane and she left the ward.
Back at the nursery, some baby bees were spiraling out of control because the queen was not
there to read them bedtime stories and comfort them with her presence.
The nurses were running around trying to comfort them, but they would not have it!
What is a colony without its queen?!
