Universities and scientists are diligently working to uncover the truth behind the decrease in bees and how to better sustain the honey bee population. Many people find bees to be a stinging nuisance,…

the third stanza ends with the speaker asking about the hive and if there “is there any queen at all in it?” (Drafts in Facsimile 15) The search for the queen bee in the poem is evidently a true event as told by Plath in her journals.

Summary: Over the past two years, the bee population has decreased dramatically and has immensely affected the pollination of plants.
