Hive Away for Dummies

Hive Away: Let's imagine going on a little adventure to the world of bees. In their world, bees live together in what we call a hive. A hive is like a home for bees, where they work together and store honey. Now, when we say "hive away," it means that bees are gathering or storing something inside their hive. It's kind of like when you clean up your toys after playing, and you put them away in a toy box or a cupboard. The bees are doing something similar, but instead of toys, they are "hiving away" things like pollen, nectar, or even food to keep them safe and secure in their hive.

But there's another meaning to "hive away" too. Imagine you have something very important, like a special toy or a precious drawing that you don't want anyone to find. You might decide to "hive away" that special item in a secret hiding spot—a place where nobody can see or find it. The bees also have a similar idea. Sometimes, they "hive away" something that's very valuable to them, like their queen bee. They hide their queen inside the hive to protect her and keep her safe from other animals or insects who might want to harm her.

So, to sum it all up, "hive away" means when bees store or put something away inside their hive to keep it safe, just like how you put your toys away after playing. It can also mean hiding something important, like the queen bee, inside the hive, just like you hiding something special in a secret hiding spot.
