Book Cover & Preview Text
“WHAT IS THIS?” the Queen boomed. Flora tucked her wings close. All the others looked down, too scared to speak. “I found Daisy, lost and crying in a garden, Your Majesty. She is only a baby, so I brought her somewhere safe,” explained Flora. Queen Mary frowned and her bottom lip quivered with anger. “A baby bee should know better than to stray from her family hive!” she snapped. Daisy trembled behind Flora. Flora looked worried, but she stayed beside Daisy. “She didn't mean to get lost,” Flora said softly. “She just needs someone to help her learn.” “SILENCE!” shouted the Queen. You have betrayed me and my hive! And for what? A small little bee that is not part of our hive… Hahahaha! You fools! Risking yourselves for someone else and, of all things, someone different to US. How dare you!”
