I see that some have worked their way up to Nurse Bee, and I'm wondering....

[Crissy]

If the final stage is going to be Queen Bee.
If so, does that make me a Wanna Bee?

[Cadam]

I would love to see a break down of what it takes to get through the levels, and once you get to the top do you just stay there? Will we rally be allowed to be Queen bees or does SWB get to be the only queen?

[WTMCassandra]

Groaaannnn. You sure are perky today! And, I didn't have time to reply to that thread last night, but I most definitely do NOT consider you a jerk! ; )

[Cadam]

I can see that to work my way up I am going to have to spend way more effort wasting time here. It may be a while, I do actually have a house and kids to take care of....

Here's another speculation: I bet in a month's time the whole board will be Queen Bees or something regal like that!

[WTMindy]

All I know is that I really wanted to be a worker bee, and it is not as fulfilling as I had hoped. I'm now on a quest to be a nurse. And.....where will it stop?

[Karin]

Not until you make queen, I suppose, lol. I'd wondered the same thing. But I'm still in the larval stage because I'm only allowing myself so much time on the boards each day. Plus I don't comment on everything I read, particularly if I either have nothing to add or if anything I could say has already been said. But this is more of a chatty post, so I don't have to add much, lol.

[Katia]

I'm not trying. It's fun just posting and enjoying the fellowship. I'll let others work hard to get a different classification, and I'll just enjoy the ride. Have fun girls!

:) There are 14 ranks. Queen Bee is on there, but it isn't the top.

You get to find out the rest as we go.

(Giggling quietly at home. Bear with me. I don't get to be silly all that often.)

I never actually wanted to be a Wanna Bee before!:eek:

[Ms. Riding Hood]

I suddenly have an intense desire to watch "The Secret Life of Bees".

BTW, I don't like the idea that people become Queens (or whatever follows that!) just by posting 47 million times. I wish there were some way to recognize the real queens on the board who post infrequently but with great wisdom and insight. I know we can give reputation, but if someone posts once every couple of months and every person who reads that particular thread gives her some rep, she still won't have much. Maybe the "powers that be" (that would be you, right?) can accept nominations for some other underlord-type bees that the board members value highly?

Don't think I'm a whiner! I love that you provide this for us. I just wish the right people would get acknowledgement. Maybe I just need to work within the system and be content.

[Ms. Riding Hood]

Egad.

I think I may have used bad grammar when addressing The Overmind.

Does this mean I'm back to visitor? :eek:

[Krista in LA]

Can I just skip over the nurse bee part. I'm really not a nurturing kind of person. I don't want to be a nurse. Not that I have anything against nurse bees, they are wonderful people, er bees.

[Andie]

It only just now occured to me that I'M TERRIBLY ALLERGIC to bees!

I'll move the EpiPen next to the 'puter.

[KristineIN]

It will be interesting to see what some of the other levels are. I found this list about bees.

I like the steeling honey idea.. sounds yummy, or is that sticky?

[OhM]

Aaaaaahhhhh....The Overmind...........

Now we know............

(I don't know if it's the new forum or what, but compared to the old boards, I'm positively chatty. I think I didn't post this months in 6 months of the old boards. Is there something subliminal going on here? Or have I just been absorbed by the hive mind?)

Well, I suppose you should have some fun after all the grief we've cause you over the years. ;)

[Mom2boys]

EEuuuwwwww... can we skip the "mortuary bees" level???

I know! (Not that there's anything wrong with that, and the world need morticians, but still. Eeek.)
