Hint:
nullThe brood of bees approached the new field of budding flowers with care. The breeze had changed and there was a strange smell in the air. Something bulky was also here. Several bees quickly browsed the area and noted that the ground was bulging in one portion of the field close to the brink of a cliff. This was also the area with the largest amount of flowers, so the queen bee let her workers make a breakthrough to begin briskly gathering nectar. It was a brief hesitation, but her breed of bees had always been very careful in choosing new lands. Ever since her breach of her mother' s command and the subsequent breakup of the bulk of their brood, she was even more careful. Her authority in this new group was brittle and, like the fear of a bugbear by all of the young bees.那窝蜜蜂小心翼翼地靠近一块从未去过的田野，那里长满了含苞待放的鲜花。微风已经变了，空气中散发着一种怪味，这里还有个庞然大物。几只蜜蜂迅速吃掉了那里的花粉，发现紧靠悬崖边缘的一块地方正在向外膨胀。那块地上开的花儿也最多，所以蜂后让工蜂们来一次突破，开始很快采集花蜜。 蜜蜂们只做了短暂的迟疑，但是她的这个蜂种选择新地盘时一向很谨慎。自从蜂后违背母亲的命令，随后大部分蜜蜂分裂以来，她就更加小心了。她在这个新群体中的权威岌岌可危，就像所有小蜜蜂都害怕妖怪一样。
