Fragrance Transformation. A Fragrance Bee is so named because it must transform into a fragrance.
Otherwise, it is just a meaningless, uncollapsed mass of scent molecules.
Larvae cannot control scents, cannot hunt, build, or reproduce, nor can they engage in other civilized activities. Before their scents solidify, they can only be protected in the care of the Guardians.
This is why the scent solidification is necessary…
The leader's scent constantly fluctuated, and information about the solidification ceremony was transmitted through the fragrance into the mind of every newborn:
Periodically, the Fragrance Bees gather all the larvae who have reached the right age and developed self-awareness to participate in a solidification ceremony.
The adult Fragrance Bees prepare all sorts of scents: pure, mixed, fruit scents, floral scents, Grass and Wood Fragrances… for the larvae to choose for themselves.
