It was late into the evening when the magic happened.

The forest was the perfect place for a story to unfold. A sense of mystery filled the secluded wood, as a swirling, grey fog mischievously crept its way between the trees.

After days of waiting, her transformation was complete. The Queen Bee held one of her many children in her outstretched hand; the moment she’d been waiting for had finally arrived…

Can you continue the story of the Queen Bee?

She became human when she ate royal jelly and so the magic happened. She helped her worker friends by opening the cage to go out, visiting the flowers to produce honey. Now that she was human she could take care of the flowers so that the bees can produce their honey and go out into the world trying to sell the honey they made. And when she wanted to become a bee, she was able to visit other hives, being able to help other bees, telling them everything she knew. And so was her life as a bee and a human. She could help bees in many ways. And her hive was happy with a queen bee that could become human.
