Hey Everyone,

Since we won't be having a chapter today, figure it was a good time for some consideration. And so, in the spirit of bee-mocracy, let's decide together! What is your ideal naming scheme for the bees, keeping in mind the possibility of future generations expanding the length of the names? For each, I'm including how the Fourth of the Seventh and the First Daughter of the First of the Fifth would look, since Fourth of the Seventh doesn't repeat any of her numbers and the First Daughter demonstrates how subsequent generations' names will expand.

Let me know your favorite! Feel free to leave additional suggestions if you have any. As a side note, vetoing Belissar naming all of them immediately in order to preserve bee culture. Will let that emerge organically throughout the story if it does happen.

Anyways!

What will the people choose? Can we come to a consensus as efficiently as bees? Will Belissar end up naming the bees anyways? Tune in next time, to find out!

How about to create a culture where "1-1-4" would be something like a military department numbered series (rooms move around as the king orders) with official gatherings by kings or Queen seremonys and form indirect calling names among the bee. the activities they do leading to it how they act whit of people or the what theys room stans to or how they work defined them for example: instead just "1-1-4" it'd "hello sisters its wonderfully see so menny new faces at [Queens summit] I Bertha, the wandering hive builder Queen of hive "1-1-4" "your may call me Bertha or by my system title [wanderer]" "whit me are my assistant Siisbe the [builder] you can call him [builder] or "head Worker" of hive "1-1-4" . Maybe have a quick go singe for each [class/action] that bees to set up by system. And have that symbolic title/mark be tell by foremons of bee so thos human nouse can't tell it.. whit out bee gods full blessing

Honestly, I barely remember which queen is who until i read how they are. Then I know which bee queen it is. Anything in the flower meadow is typically the firstborn. (Elizabeeth the First) If the queen in question is extremely prideful, its the head queen of the apiary. (Beeyonce) If its a somewhat unorthodox queen, then i assume its the one that just moved to the Orchard. (Beeyork) If it references a parent, its the one who was birthed by the Apiary Queen. (Beechelle) I got my own little separate names for them in my head so I can keep them in order when I read.

The one downside of not making this story a full-on isekai is that I can't give them pop culture bee-pun names...
