NAME:

the bee that wanted to be queen

The zunzum bee was born stubborn and self-righteous. As soon as she left the cell, she already thought the hive was a big party.
In the midst of so many bees going to and fro, one of them said:
- Hi! My name is Zunidia!
Zunidia brought two bottle baskets to feed the baby larvae that would be born. Zunzum looked and asked:
– Are they for me?

- No! Don't you know that the workers' first job is to feed the larvae? - She replied to her friend, delivering a basket.
ZunZum repeated what Zunidia did: she took the bottles with jelly and gave the larvae. When she finished, all she thought about was rest.
– No rest. You need to feed the larvae that will be queens. They need special food.
Zunzum saw that queen larvae were the same as workers and thought: “does this feeding transform workers into queens”?
She looked around and, hidden, took the jam. More Zunidia saw it all!
- What you are doing?
- Taking this jelly to become queen.
Zunidia couldn't help but laugh:
– You were born a worker, Zunzum! It's no use drinking royal jelly, it won't change anything!
