    About this ebook

    The insect plague known as 'Varroa Destructor' was decimating the Earth's pollinators. Government funded scientists sought to combat the problem with technology. They created the Chee-bots. They were supposed to be the world's first programmable insect to fulfill the task that nature was failing at. What they got was a new life form with a mind and spirit of its own.
