Swarm Science with Buzzwell, and Mild Worker Bee Interruptions

Give this pic a poke 🐝

Class is in session, and Buzzwell is buzzing with excitement to teach you the complex science of bee swarms. You’ll learn why bees suddenly pack their bags and leave home, how they pick the perfect new real estate (spoiler: it usually involves a tree branch, not your porch swing), and the democratic decision-making process that rivals any human election.

But don’t expect a quiet lecture hall — worker bees are always barging in. One insists on reminding Buzzwell that she was the actual scout bee who found the last prime location. Another keeps buzzing over his diagrams to correct his “flower math.” And of course, a few others are just too busy arguing about nectar runs to stay focused.

Still, Buzzwell soldiers on, pointer in wing, determined to explain the biology, communication dances, and hive logic behind swarming — even if half his sisters are too busy rolling their compound eyes to care.

So pull up a comb, grab a sip of nectar, and enjoy the chaos: it’s bee science at its finest… and funniest.
