Neel Post 2

Chapter 2's quote:
On leaving the old nest, the swarm normally flies only a few meters and settles. Scout bees look for a suitable place to star the new colony. Eventually on location wins favor and the whole swarm takes to the air.

This quote refers to Lily and Rosaleen leaving Sylvan, T. Ray, and their old home behind and going to find a new one. This says how bees don't look for a complete change when finding a new home and usually pick one that is close to thier lod hive. Similarly, Lily and Rosaleen don't try to completely change their lives by moving to a big city or anything, but end up traveling to Tiburon, a small rural city much like where they were used to. Tiburon held a special purpose as it was a clue to who Lily's mom was but it wans't much diffrent than their previous lives. Bees probably like to keep things the same and wouldn't want to undergo any drastic changes either.

Good--I think this is an interesting point.
