BD - Side Story 18.1 - The Firstborn (Removed for KU)
🕑 Added 2023-10-07 01:22:00 +0000 UTCAuthor's Note:
Our first side story, on the first of the living queens!
...so it turns out actual bee queens have like, zero authority in their own hives. Decisions are made communally by the workers, or something. But I like, find that out after I started the novel, so, um, oops? They're, um, magic bees so that somehow means absolute monarchy?
...do we need to have a workers' revolution in the future? Belissar, you better change your title real quick. You wouldn't want to be labeled a...reactionar-bee.
Anyways!
Can the Firstborn raise an army suitable for the King? Can the Second Dynasty overcome the failures of the First? Will the workers seize the means of magic? Tune in next time, to find out!

Honestly the best way to think of eusocial insect Queens is if you think of the whole colony as one organism they are basically a vital organ and the colony more or less treats them like that as when they die they colony will slowly die for some species for otherspecies they start a Battle Royale to decide the next Queen
