Added 2023-12-13 20:05:01 +0000 UTCAuthor’s Note:
Schedule Announcement: So, I ended up chipping one of my teeth. Or maybe removing a filling? Idk, just know that I gotta get it looked at today lol. So, be advised that depending on how I feel I may take tomorrow off. I'll edit the author's note later to confirm!
UPDATE: Calling it, no chapter tomorrow (12/14). Sorry y'all!
And with that out of the way...
At first I was going to do this one from Queen 4-1-7’s POV, but then I thought now would be a good time to break into a worker’s perspective since 4-1-7’s workers have a bit more initiative than the others. Mostly cause they need to haha.
As a side note, trialing numeric names for the queens as suggested by many of you. Realized that this makes the most sense given that the God of Bees herself wrote it that way in the Memorial, so there was already an in-story precedent established. To be clear, the template is (child #)-(spawn order)-(dynasty)-(spawner). Dynasty will no longer be omitted in the numeric writing. So, First Queen of the Second Dynasty of the First Spawner (aka the Firstborn) is 1-2-1, Fourth of the Seventh is 4-1-7. Subsequent generations will have numbers appended at the beginning from youngest to oldest, with the original spawner queen always represented by the last three numbers. For example, the First Daughter of the First of the Fifth is 1-1-1-5. If, say, the First Daughter of the First of the Fifth had three daughters, they would be 1-1-1-1-5, 2-1-1-1-5, and 3-1-1-1-5 respectively. Well, hopefully that’s not too confusing and it’s still gonna become crazy if we get more generations but we’ll try that for now.
…I should prolly make a spread sheet or something, huh?
Anyways!
Can the worker set up a hive with her queen off exploring? Can the worker find a way to fulfill both her queen’s desires and the needs of their hive? What will result from the queen’s command to assist a rival hive? Tune in next time, to find out!
Comments
Is 4-1-7 about pioner bee hives ,to hives ,"work experience training"? After all her workers are more experienced than 1-1-1-5.

2023-12-14 16:56:11 +0000 UTCSeems it was ambition that is holding other queens back. The first spawned queens started out ahead so others did not get inspired to bee more.

Beeees!
2023-12-14 13:11:23 +0000 UTCI was doing dynasty by spawner, so only the first spawner queens are on second dynasty.

2023-12-14 07:55:08 +0000 UTCShouldn't it be 4-2-7, because there are no queens from the first dynastie remaining?

2023-12-14 06:10:44 +0000 UTCI don't think it will be confusion as long as the first numbers are not too similar. New queens will have 4 number instead of 3, so it will be easy to identify them. Maybe put the spawner number at the begining so that it is different for each queen that we follow ? (1-2-1 and 1-1-5 might be too similar, but even that does not seem confusing to me)

2023-12-13 22:01:15 +0000 UTCEh that numbers thing is nice enough. Get bit confusing if ther more that 3 queen. How about having this "1-1-2-1" as formal surname, and give bees off experience/exponentially "deeds" a first name by King or by zapy lighting bee. Someting like Beearth, Beenish, Rubee, Phebee, etc.[yes I using name generator] or something along side theyry "born room"
