โThey [the bees] landed on me, covered me with their vibrating bodies, crawled inside my lips and up my nostrils, into every orifice, and they drank up all the nectar they could hold. I did not move, did not scream, because I knew that if I did, I would be stung into oblivion. Instead I lay there, clutching the sheets in my fists, and waited for it to be over. I prayed to the ravenous swarm, forgive me. And at last, they were finished. They lifted themselves up on their wings and flew off into the night. Except. Some of them stayed. Addicted to my sweet blood, they crawled up inside my body and built their nests there. They are still inside me. They will always beโ (17-18).

This quote shares the story where the bees attack the narrator to the point where she internalizes some and realizes that they will not leave or will they ever fully leave.
