A long time ago, there was a beehive in the middle of a forest.
Every day, as worker bees do, they would go out into their fields,
gather pollen from the flowers, and bring it back to make honey.

The bees had a problem, though, because every so often an intruder
would come around, such as a bear who wanted the honey, or kids
who thought it'd be fun to throw rocks at the hive.

Finally, the bees got tired of it. Being the intelligent bees that
they were, they built an alarm system for the hive. They built it
such that one bee pulls a lever, which triggers the alarm that the
bees hear from the fields, and then the bees come back to protect
their home.

There was one bee who was exclusively assigned that job, and he
was aptly named the "Lever Bee." His job was to watch for potential
adversaries, and pull the lever to raise the alarm.

Now obviously, the security of the hive depends on this one Lever
Bee. So he has to be constantly ready and on the alert to be able
to do his job.

And that, friends, is why people say, "I'm as ready as a Lever Bee."· :-)

I bet that came out of that big book your aunty gave you for Christmas.

Oh beehive
