Stanley & the Worker Bees 🐝

Once again it was a few months before Christmas time for the worker bees, but this year they had a problem, there were some killer hornets moving in on the worker bees territory.

“I don’t appreciate how Stanley has been letting those killer hornets push him around,” Curtis said searching for pollen.

“Yeah, the queen bee has been very frustrated with him not meeting his quota. He may have to find another hive if he doesn’t get it together,” Keshawn said, agreeing with Curtis.

Stanley was soft and gullible, but somehow he could last throughout the winter while the other bees would become frozen stiff in hibernation. As fall came to an end the cold weather started to set in. 

Every winter Stanley would keep watch on the queen bee while all of the other bees were frozen solid including the queen. Stanley was a freak of nature. As Christmas came around he heard chainsaws cutting down nearby trees, realizing that he had no help, he knew he had to protect the hive. 

“I have to be brave,” he kept saying to himself over and over again. Noticing the killer hornets hive had been frozen too he pushed it down and watched it crash onto the head of the Christmas tree dealer knocking him out cold. 

Stanley then noticed that the sawing had stopped. After the Christmas tree dealer had been rushed to the hospital, Stanley retreated to the hive and couldn’t wait until winter was over to tell his story. Stanley spent the rest of the winter building a defense system around the hive. It took him all winter to complete his project. In the spring when all of the other worker bees came out of hibernation they couldn’t believe what Stanley had done. The queen bee buzzed so much energy into Stanley that it made him work even harder, he was now the top worker bee. No longer soft and gullible, Stanley created a day for all worker bees to work and be merry. He called his newfound holiday “Workmazz.”

Merry Workmazz,
