Флора-717 — работник низшего уровня в пчелином улье. В тоталитарном обществе каждый должен быть готов пожертвовать всем ради Королевы. А нужно еще пережить религиозные чистки и атаки жестоких ос. Когда улью грозит опасность, Флора, неожиданно для себя самой, совершает один храбрый поступок за другим, поднимая свой статус и узнавая зловещие секреты, на которых держится устройство улья. Флоре позволяется все больше и больше, пока она не решается нарушить самый главный закон улья. "Пчелы" — это гремящий дебют в духе "Рассказа Служанки" и "Голодных игр", который потрясет ваше воображение.
