Opinion on hive queen Vespa
She is among the most fascinating insects I had the fortune to observe and TALKED to!! Hardworking, resilient, courageous... She embodies all the admirable qualities one can imagine. Moreover, she is a queen bee!, the central figure in the bee's world. She has it all!!
More facts about bees no one asked: they have both straight hairs and plumose hairs. A plumose hair is branched and resembles a feather, and plays a crucial role in enabling bees to gather pollen and facilitate the pollination of flowers (yes, it is fascinating soft!). Straight hairs are used for sensory functions, similar to many other insects.
I am aware that the little spider princess used to train alongside her, which likely explains her fascination with fluffiness. And I cannot truly blame her for that!
(When I was young, I used to have a bee plush... π)
