I know that it had only been a day since we last left their place but not only having Edith and Mimi to my fold was important, but also the bees that would be coming with them was something this place needed. However, I'm not sure how they'd react to my place which was completely different from their beautiful estate but I'm sure they'll appreciate the challenge it would bring to beautify it up in a way that could satisfy them.
Also, I've said it many times before, Honey—not to mention Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen, and even Beeswax—has a lot of fucking uses, and just straight-up having bees to pollinate our plants was a huge plus.
It was something commonly taken for granted but it was just the right time to bring them into my compound and the rest of our territories because aside from having plants or root crops we could eat, we had also begun growing flowers as a requirement for all of our households and the ones stationed in our greenhouses.
