Regardless of my feelings, something had to be done at least with the hive mind in place.
I wasn't about to actually tell them to split apart, and this meant I had to make sure these girls wouldn't have some strange inclinations caused by their instincts and lack of knowledge (like young Queens, for example).
"Let's talk with them," I said. "Better to do it sooner rather than later."
"Definitely," Amby agreed.
Both of us left the observation spot and flew toward the nearest group of Hardbees that were sitting in one of the many narrow ledges that were built between the brood cells.
The Nurse Bees were very efficient and had already put simple tunics over the girls, as well as given them jars of nectar they were currently drinking. Nevertheless, most other girls in this position would've been too distracted to speak with me and Amby.
The hive mind was different.
