Unlike humans, 'cease and desist' letters from high-priced lawyers work
remarkably well in the bee world, probably due to the highly structed nature
of their societies. If hostilities do commence, AVO's have proved to be
useless, since queens have been generally characterised as 'women'. This
also accounts for the low lego-purchasing among bee colonies.
> What do they think of all the Europeans in the country ?
According to my best sources, they are currently undergoing 'reconciliation'
dances, with a lot of figure-eight work. European bees, in a spirit of
harmony, have withdrawn to either non-native trees, or to purpose-built bee
homes. All native trees are now considered the exclusive property of the
native bees, though both European and Japanese bees regularly take
coach-tours to see their ancient honey-making ways.
