This one is a bit of an experiment which I quite honestly don't know if I've hit the sweet spot on. The inspiration came from a conversation in the SCP staff channel in which we discovered a little-known fact about bees: a queen bee is pampered and has her every need tended to… so long as she remains productive and "undamaged". The moment she becomes unable to produce proper offspring, if she loses a leg or antennae or if the pheromones she produces become "off", her loyal subjects turn on her, tear her apart and proceed to "modify" an already-laid egg in preparation to produce a new resident queen. A few of us considered the horror if the queen were actually a sentient, sapient being and thus this idea came into being.
On a completely separate note, Mr Wilt has informed me that today is the first anniversary of Bee Day. Talk about coincidences…
