"The Queen Bee does have a stinger....Though her sting is most often reserved for killing other queens within the hive, this does mean she is capable of stinging many times"

I took #Characters2017 literally today and had to share my #QueenBee (she's in the box in the bottom photo a loyal bee working to free her). She's a feisty girl breeding other feisty girls. ?
