Dr. Okonkwo studies a honeybee colony through two lenses. At the colony scale, she maps resource allocation across the hive: orange cells are honey reserves, yellow marks royal jelly stores, grey is empty comb. At the individual scale, she tracks each bee by role: workers in orange, the queen in yellow, drones in grey. Her observations alternate between scales — first colony, then colony again, then individual, then colony. In her third observation (the individual-scale one), she notes the queen has settled near the top-left of the hive at row two, column two, ringed tightly by workers. The drones idle in a block at the lower-right corner, a three-by-three cluster.
