Challenges To Overcome
In the midst of his excitement, David made a sad discovery as he removed a few more bricks. Some of the poison the exterminators had used got into the hive and killed some bees.
Beeswax had protected most of the hive but there were some casualties. David was just glad that the majority of the hive had escaped death and were alright.
Mourning The Loss Of The Queen
The queen keeps the hive organized and regulates reproduction. One of the casualties was, unfortunately, the queen and without her, the hive cannot survive.
As sad as he was about this, David was determined not to give up on the hive and carried on with his plan to relocate the other bees.
