Excerpt:
The chant became louder as it crept through the hive, increasing the tension. It seemed to have had a tune to it with the first beat being emphatic: dum da-da-da, dum da-da-da. I tried to lean out of my cell to get a better view, but I found that my bottom was glued to something. I twisted to break free, only to be tangled by the silky glue. Then the first word of the chant became clear: spin da-da-da, spin da-da-da. The sound became louder and I realised that as I twisted, more silk appeared and I was becoming wrapped in its gentle fabric. I spun around, again and again, feeling secure in its soft embrace, while all the time the chant continued. Then I noticed one of the workers had begun to seal up my cell and I realised that I would soon become a bee. The tune got louder and, as it reached my part of the hive and the workers all joined in, the words became clear.
