  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-Ever for a bee…

  The brood of bees approached the new field of budding flowers with care. The breeze had changed and there was a strange smell in the air. Something bulky was also here. Several bees quickly browsed the area and noted that the ground was bulging in one portion of the field close to the brink of a cliff. This was also the area with the largest amount of flowers, so the queen bee let her workers make a breakthrough to begin briskly gathering nectar.

  It was a brief hesitation, but her breed of bees had always been very careful in choosing new lands.Ever since her breach of her mother's command and the subsequent breakup of the bulk of their brood,she was even more careful. Her authority in this new group was brittle and, like the fear of a bugbear by all of the young bees, all of the worker bees were watching to see if she would lead well. She had to budget her commands and earn their respect.

  This was not her day, however. Suddenly a bee came back to report that the ground was bubbling near the bulging area. And then a buck sprung out of the forest and ran across the field, killing several of her best workers in the process. As she flew over to the area with bubbles she passed over an old brochure for the brewery that was buried beneath. She would bear the brunt of the blame for the deaths of the bees for not being aware of the buck, but at least she could make sure no nectar was harvested from the dangerous bubbling area. She quickly gathered her brood and moved on. Leadership was not easy,even for a bee.

  即使是對一只蜜蜂…

  那窩蜜蜂小心翼翼地靠近一塊從未去過的田野，那里長滿了含苞待放的鮮花。微風已經變了，空氣中散發著一種怪味，這里還有個龐然大物。幾只蜜蜂迅速吃掉了那里的花粉，發現緊靠懸崖邊緣的一塊地方正在向外膨脹。那塊地上開的花兒也最多，所以蜂后讓工蜂們來一次突破，開始很快采集花蜜。

  蜜蜂們只做了短暫的遲疑，但是她的這個蜂種選擇新地盤時一向很謹慎。 自從蜂后違背母親的命令，隨后大部分蜜蜂分裂以來，她就更加小心了。她在這個新群體中的權威岌岌可危，就像所有小蜜蜂都害怕妖怪一樣，所有工蜂都拭目以待，看她是不是能當好這個領導。她必須合理安排、指揮得當才能贏得他們的尊重。

  不過，今天她不太走運。突然一只蜜蜂回來報告說，凸起的那塊地周圍正在冒泡，接著一只雄鹿從森林里跳了出來，它跑過田野，在跑的過程中弄死了她手下幾只最優秀的工蜂。她飛過去察看那個冒泡地區，沒有注意到地下埋著一本古老的釀酒手冊。她將為沒有意識到有雄鹿從而導致工蜂喪命的事情負主要責任,至少她可以弄清楚不能從那個危險的冒泡地區采集花蜜。她迅速集合隊伍，繼續前行。當領導可真不容易，即使是對一只蜜蜂。
