Textnote On Bee-Human Communication

Humans have always shown a fondness for metals, 
which serves them well in written communications with bees. 

Adult humans are required to carry on their 
person at all times, a small slab of steel scrap -- 
Hive knows there is plenty of that left after the 
wars in KinterSylvania's past! -- upon which bee 
teams deposit, in script, whatever orders are required of humans,
using either beewax, if the orders are to be shown
to others, or honey, if the notes are quick and the 
orders volatile. 

The notes are licked off, or rubbed off by the humans, 
once they have been read and understood. 

The language of the notes is a written version of old Forester,
which the humans cling to as their mother tongue. To 
communicate back, humans simply speak normally, as bees 
are quite intelligent, and capable of understanding 
sounds.

One humorous note: Old tales claim that very small human 
grubs, or 'children' as they call them, can understand 
bee vocal speech. These tales persist despite the many 
papers written on the subject. A bee simply cannot vocalize
loud enough to engage the human ear drum, unless, of course,
the bee were to climb inside the child's ear and speak 
directly.

The sheer terror that human grubs show at the approach of 
bees, should establish powerfully, that a child understanding 
bee speech, is no more than a fantasy.
