The Queen's Proclamation

To Our Loyal Subjects -- BuzzerKind, BeastKind and HumanKind:

With a scent toward preserving the peace in KinterSylvania, we charge that a Royal Archaeological Expedition be mounted to ascertain whether the mythical New Forest, called alternately, 'BubbleLand' by the anarchists, has any archaeological evidence to substantiate its existence.

We have heard the cries of our subjects in the southern provinces, but before giving substantial rights to humankind, we require more than human song and scratches on plant leaf to substantiate the human role in our early history.

Our throne welcomes the recent thawing of the Buttersnow Mountains, with the attending providential opportunity to show that if it indeed existed, the so-called BubbleLand was in fact an ascendant Bee-caste society not unlike our own, and that the mythical Queen, z'Omma(She Who Watches), could in no wise have been either a wolf, or as those in the 'troubled' provinces have suggested, a wise old man.

Your Queen has no fear of Providence, or of the facts, and neither, our loyal subjects, should you.

May the archaeological sciences help to bend the unbent knee, for the good of the Hive.
