Flora is allowed to leave her kin and try different parts of the hive, which is almost unheard of. In a place where most bees with deformities or aberrations are disposed of, Flora is spared by Sister Sage, the most powerful bee of the most powerful kin, the priestesses.
However, due to a few evolutionary perks, Flora is larger and more powerful than her kin, and she can speak. The main character is Flora 717, who is born into the lowest caste of bees, the sanitation workers. However, with a dash of creative storytelling, she magnifies the society into a dystopian nightmare. “The Bees” by Laline Paull is a fascinating look into the most industrious of natural orders, a beehive.
