All Abuzz About Bees!

The worker bees are all female and they do all the work for the hive. Workers perform the following tasks inside the hive as a House Bee: Cleaning, feeding the baby bees, feeding and taking care of the queen, packing pollen and nectar into cells, capping cells, building and repairing honeycombs, fanning to cool the hive and guarding the hive.

    Real interesting how the female bees are the ones in charge! To try to link that with the book, it might show why August loved the bees so much. At that time, women were still not treated as equally as the men, especially black women. August may have felt similar with the bees, by women doing house work and the bees doing the work in the hive as well. She probably empathized with them, yet saw how much the other bees did need her. I think the bees could have helped her become such a caring and empathetic person that she is now.
