"Amby, it's terrible. We made so many mistakes with the sub-hives—so much needs to be reorganized!" I waved my arms in agitation. "And the transportation of non-essential resources also needs to be reworked to accommodate—well, I will talk to Workharder about this first, but…"
Ambrosia chuckled into her fist, smiling at .
"I'm happy to see you again so soon too, Necty. You didn't break your promise and didn't leave the hive for too long."
She leaned forward to bring into a brief, casual hug, then took by the shoulder and pulled deeper into the Royal Chambers.
"Let's take off those work clothes off you so you can put on sothing more comfortable. I assu you want to gather a Council? We can do it at noon tomorrow—it's on a schedule already. Just rest in the anti. I told nobody to bother you until the rest of the day, anyway…"
I smiled at her gratefully, letting myself be led. While Amby helped to take off my clothing (without the fun ti that often followed such things this ti, because she was too heavy with eggs today), I told her about my and my bodyguards' findings.
"This is a failure on my part more than on yours," Ambrosia concluded afterward. "I tried to instill self-sufficiency in our daughter Queens together with respect toward you. Perhaps there was too much respect. Or self-sufficiency…"
I sighed.
"Indeed. But if they were too reliant, it'd be a problem, too. We just have to deal with what we have! A centralized education system will be a good start."

The Council discussed and planned it in detail tomorrow.
Until now, the education of new specialists was decentralized and quite chaotic. There was an amount of specialists needed, population counts, the amount of bees wishing to take a certain job, and these numbers were put together to the best of their ability by a respective Adviser in a local hive.
The training itself was done by instructors—Teacher Bees who went through training for a specific profession, or specialist bees who went through Teacher Bee training to take the title and its teaching speed bonus.
The entire system was imperfect, but worked so far. However, it ant that specialists were often trained by an instructor from the local hive; and then these specialists could beco instructors themselves.
The quality of training gradually degraded, and it was especially noticeable in more high-intelligence professions.
To keep the quality of education high, I planned to establish universities—buildings specifically for training future instructors of instructors in all professions.
In the Grand University in Hive Supremo, the instructors will learn everything there was about their craft, then move to teach it to instructors in universities in sub-hives.
This way, there won't be over two generations of instructors, and the quality of education will be easier to control.
The system noted it, too.
