It actually took longer than a week to finish the year-long plan, but the time spent was worth it.
Not only have I and my Advisers decided the direction of the Empire's growth, we've solved a problem that has been nagging me for some time now.
The problem was such: I wanted humans to depend on bees, so our control of them wasn't reliant only on propaganda—but humans were very independent creatures.
Yes, thanks to their telepathic connection and good education, bees, on average, could do intellectual work better than a Naregan citizen. But even then, bees needed a human to write down things if they wanted other humans to read them. And if a bee wanted to read something, a human or an entire squad of bees had to turn the page so a bee could read it.
Besides, administrative jobs weren't vital enough for humans to not even think about kicking the bees out. If anything, power-hungry humans would only be more likely to do so.
