My Life, My Story
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.
January 19, 2014 5:19 pm|
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!! π
January 19, 2014 5:13 pm|
That’s lovely! Queen Bee we bow to you π
January 19, 2014 5:20 pm|

Lovely take on the prompt Shilpa. Oh! The advantages of being the Queen Bee.
January 19, 2014 11:12 pm|
Oh yes, the whole swarm is working for you, how cool is that! π
January 19, 2014 7:19 pm|
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!
January 19, 2014 11:14 pm|
I thought dogs, cats, parrots would be common animals for this prompt, so thought of Queen Bee π
I know, we all need to be pampered and given off from our daily chores π
Aah! Pablo is such a sweetheart! π

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!
January 19, 2014 11:18 pm|
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 π
January 19, 2014 7:35 pm|
As always, a very creative take. Nice read.

Ah! I thought it is about a housewife! π
No doubt, a house wife is no less than a queen been.
January 19, 2014 11:18 pm|
True that! π
January 19, 2014 9:07 pm|
Absolutely, we are the queen bees or the princess bees.. he he. Our homes have to be perrrrfect. No less. π
January 19, 2014 11:19 pm|
Well said π
January 19, 2014 10:26 pm|
Queen bee, Queen ant & Queen of England (at least once upon a time) demand that kind of ‘status’.

Superb. I loved this one – now and then it would be nice to be the queen bee.
January 20, 2014 11:47 am|
Yes, it would be wonderful to be a queen bee, everybody at our beck and call π
January 20, 2014 7:26 am|
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 !!
January 20, 2014 11:48 am|
Glad that you enjoyed reading this post, Ma’am. Thanks π
January 20, 2014 12:26 pm|
ha ha Shilpa, I thought it was your story, reading the title π
Good one…
January 20, 2014 12:28 pm|
LOL π Gotcha π
January 20, 2014 9:50 pm|
Sure sounds like your story, Shilpa… Queen Bee.. I like the analogy. Good thinking.
January 20, 2014 10:46 pm|
LOL π Alka made me think that way, otherwise my thought was to write about the simple queen bee! π Thanks π
January 21, 2014 1:13 am|
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. β₯ Your life sounds like pure bliss!
February 4, 2014 7:20 pm|
Aah! Wish it was my story, Kathy! This is the story from a Queen Bee’s perspective!
January 21, 2014 4:54 am|
Isn’t it nice that somewhere in the world, females get to lord over everyone?! π Nice one, Shilpa!
February 4, 2014 7:21 pm|
I know, someplace they are the Kings errr Queens π
January 21, 2014 6:20 am|
Lovely write-up Shilpa, we all are queen bees in our own way, buzzing around all day π
February 4, 2014 7:21 pm|
True that! π
January 21, 2014 10:17 am|
if the queen bee were to read this, she would crown you the queen of ‘WOW’ for such an unusual take on the prompt.
February 4, 2014 7:22 pm|
LOL π You are a sweetheart, Asha β₯
January 22, 2014 1:46 pm|

February 4, 2014 7:22 pm|
Thanks Genevive! π
January 22, 2014 10:28 pm|
Ohh I want to be the queen bee too ! π
February 4, 2014 7:22 pm|
Amen! π
January 23, 2014 10:22 am|
Cute π I remembered “Maya the bee”, a cartoon which Aruja watches.
February 4, 2014 7:23 pm|
Wow, is there a program like that! Cool… never seen that!! π
January 25, 2014 7:44 pm|
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
February 4, 2014 7:23 pm|
LOL π
