A honey bee colony works as a single unit. One queen lays all the eggs, a male drone mates with her, and thousands of a female worker do everything else: they forage for nectar and pollen, build the wax honeycomb, and defend the hive. A returning bee shares directions to flowers through a waggle dance. When a colony outgrows its home, part of it leaves in a swarm to start again, often in an apiary kept by a beekeeper. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
