NAME:

bees and drones

Once, in a hole in a log, bees created a beautiful honeycomb. The drones insisted that this one belonged to them.
– We made this comb. It belongs to us! – the drones declared.
– You didn't make that comb! – replied the honest bees – We did it alone! It takes us the whole summer to fill it with golden honey!
Judge Vespa was summoned to settle the case.
“You bees and drones are so similar in shape and size that it's hard to know who created the comb. My decision states that bees and drones must each find a comb in which there is no honey and create a new comb. Whoever fills it with the same golden honey is the owner of the hollow tree's honeycomb!

The bees were satisfied with this decision and started working on the new comb immediately. Seeing the drones unoccupied, the judge decided that the comb in the hollow tree belonged to the bees and ordered the drones to disappear!
