There's another kind of bee – the flood-collecting bee. They fly from topic to topic, collecting other people's flood, and leave a lot of their own. Then they fly back to the hive, where they lay full honeycombs of thick and sticky flood. From it, they then raise their young. As soon as they develop wings, the young also fly off to collect new portions of flood. Life in the bee family is built on a strict lack of any order or hierarchy: everyone does what they like. When they meet, they sniff each other and determine by the smell where each one has been "pollinating": "Ah, you've been in socks! And I've been in the Bible for a couple of words..." Scientists have not yet decided whether to classify flood-collecting bees as beneficial insects or parasites.
