I am the heart and soul of my home. In fact, my home survives and functions and looks like a home only because of me. Under my able ‘leadership’, everybody goes about doing their tasks smoothly. Without me, they are nothing and will perish in no time. You see, I am the one who keeps my brood strong and happy.
And in turn my family takes great care of me. My needs are met without me saying a single word. My health, my grooming and the cleanliness of my abode is topmost priority for my family. Hell, they take great pains to serve me the best and special food too. Yes, that’s the respect and love, I command in my home.
I am the apple of eye of everybody in my family. But all their love and care and adulation does not go to my head or does not make me act like a spoilt brat! I love and value all that they do for me. I go about doing my work and they theirs and we live together in perfect harmony like a big happy loving family.
It is true that I live a life like no other in my home! And I love it, truly!
Ah! The perks of being a queen bee!

Hello Queen bee. I am a home bird too. There’s no place like home.
True! There’s no place like home. Your comment made me re-read my post! Actually, it is written from the Queen Bee’s perspective and on second thoughts, it holds somewhat true for me too! Thanks Alka for adding a new dimension to this post!! 😀
That’s lovely! Queen Bee we bow to you 🙂
LOL 😀 Thanks Kajal 🙂
My mom will definitely be nodding her head from the beginning itself…. Yes, Mom’s turns a house into a cosy and loving home. <3
That’s true!! Mothers convert a house into a home with their magic and love 🙂 This is actually a story of the queen bee! 🙂
As a kid I always wanted to be the ‘queen bee’ it is so cool no. laze around pop out kids thats it 😀 and then in turn make those kids again work for you *laughing my ass off*
LOL 😀 Very imaginative and hatke aspiration you had Richa 😀
LOL @ make those kids again work for you
Home sweet home and we all are Queen bee of our homes.
True that! 😀
Lovely take on the prompt Shilpa. Oh! The advantages of being the Queen Bee.
Oh yes, the whole swarm is working for you, how cool is that! 😀
Haha..what an unusual perspective, Shilpa. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all slip into Queen Bee mode now and then! Some parts of this even sound like Pablo!
I thought dogs, cats, parrots would be common animals for this prompt, so thought of Queen Bee 😀
I know, we all need to be pampered and given off from our daily chores 😀
Aah! Pablo is such a sweetheart! 🙂
Cute post, Shilpa! The Queen Bee is a smart lady. Whenever I see a bee I can’t help thinking of the Bee Movie. It was very enjoyable!
I like your unique choice!
Oh yes, she is one smart lady! Imagine she uses her pheromones on worker bees so that their ovary development does not place and her supremacy is maintained in the hive!! I loved the Bee Movie too! Thanks Vidya, glad you liked the choice for this prompt 🙂
As always, a very creative take. Nice read.
GB
Thanks GB 🙂
Ah! I thought it is about a housewife! 😛
No doubt, a house wife is no less than a queen been.
True that! 😀
Absolutely, we are the queen bees or the princess bees.. he he. Our homes have to be perrrrfect. No less. 🙂
Well said 😀
Queen bee, Queen ant & Queen of England (at least once upon a time) demand that kind of ‘status’.
Destination Infinity
😀
Superb. I loved this one – now and then it would be nice to be the queen bee.
Yes, it would be wonderful to be a queen bee, everybody at our beck and call 😀
When I started reading this,I thought that you were writing about your self. Actually the lady of the house is the queen bee. Only you can get such brilliat ideas. Kudos !!
Glad that you enjoyed reading this post, Ma’am. Thanks 🙂
ha ha Shilpa, I thought it was your story, reading the title 😀
Good one…
LOL 😀 Gotcha 😀
Sure sounds like your story, Shilpa… Queen Bee.. I like the analogy. Good thinking.
LOL 😀 Alka made me think that way, otherwise my thought was to write about the simple queen bee! 😀 Thanks 🙂
You are lucky to be Queen Bee. While everything falls in my lap to deal with, I have never felt like the Queen…more like the servant struggling to keep up. When I am sick or tired, I have to put a brave face on and get on with it. ♥ Your life sounds like pure bliss!
Aah! Wish it was my story, Kathy! This is the story from a Queen Bee’s perspective!
Isn’t it nice that somewhere in the world, females get to lord over everyone?! 🙂 Nice one, Shilpa!
I know, someplace they are the Kings errr Queens 😀
Lovely write-up Shilpa, we all are queen bees in our own way, buzzing around all day 🙂
True that! 😀
if the queen bee were to read this, she would crown you the queen of ‘WOW’ for such an unusual take on the prompt.
LOL 😀 You are a sweetheart, Asha ♥
Just loved and enjoyed reading it shilpa ! great post
Thanks Genevive! 🙂
Ohh I want to be the queen bee too ! 🙂
Amen! 😀
Cute 🙂 I remembered “Maya the bee”, a cartoon which Aruja watches.
Wow, is there a program like that! Cool… never seen that!! 🙂
If it’s about you,about a housewife,it’s awesome.
At times,I wonder as to where do you all get such energy from?……Naturally,from your husband
LOL 😀
