Once upon a time, in a big forest, there was a hive with many bees. The worker bees worked hard every day to make the nest neat and tidy. They had a queen bee who ruled the hive with her strong jaws. One day, the queen bee decided to make a special surprise for the worker bees. She ordered them to gather nectar from the flowers and bring it back to the hive. The worker bees worked together to make the most delicious honey. They filled their nest with sweet honey and the queen bee was very proud of her workers. They all lived happily ever after, always working hard to make their nest the best it could be.
