Hallo, ich bin's, Rudi, männliche Arbeiterbiene 1822. Vergesst, was ihr bisher über Bienen wusstet. Die Zeiten von honigsüßen Klatschmohnwiesen sind vorbei. Mein R-Volk lebt in Berlin, auf einer Verkehrsinsel, in einem alten Stromkasten. In den ist Königin Regina eingezogen und hat unser R-Volk gegründet. Wir heißen so, weil Regina mit R anfängt. Logischerweise fangen unsere Namen also auch alle mit R an. Da sind Rachel, Roswitha, Renate . .. und so weiter. Hauptsächlich Mädels. In einem Bienenstock ist es so, dass die Frauen bestimmen. Also, eigentlich genau wie bei euch Menschen.
