But Flora is not like other bees. With circumstances threatening the hive's survival, her curiosity is regarded as a dangerous flaw, but her courage and strength are assets. She is allowed to feed the newborns in the royal nursery and then to become a forager, flying alone and free to collect nectar and pollen. A feat of bravery grants her access to the Queen's inner sanctum, where she discovers mysteries about the hive that are both profound and ominous. But when Flora breaks the most sacred law of all-daring to challenge the Queen's preeminence-enemies abound, from the fearsome fertility police who enforce the hive's strict social hierarchy to the high priestesses jealously wedded to power. Her deepest instincts to serve and sacrifice are now overshadowed by a greater power: a fierce maternal love that will bring her into conflict with her conscience, her heart, and her society-and lead her to perform unthinkable deeds. 650 0 $a Bees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Queens $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Survival $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fertility $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abnormalities, Human $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Government, Resistance to $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dystopias $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Cassidy, Orlagh, $e narrator. 941 $a 5 945 $a cdab 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305033701.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804022350.0 952 $l DRPC413 $d 20180714022942.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202091436.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20150519012730.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54A27740066511E4B09646AEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
