- See also Bees.
Bees were a sapient species of insect from Melissa Majoria.
Biology
The Bees were similar to the bees native to Earth, except that they were intelligent and used the Tandoka Scale as a carrier signal. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
- They could also presumably travel through space.
History
At some point in Earth's history, a population of Bees from Melissa Majoria came to Earth, joining the native species. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
In 2009, the Bees detected a disturbance in the Tandoka Scale caused by the New Dalek Empire. They left Earth for Melissa Majoria, causing a major loss in bee populations. (DW: Partners in Crime, Planet of the Ood, The Unicorn and the Wasp)
When the Doctor was investigating the loss of Earth, Donna Noble pointed out the disappearance of the Bees. The Doctor was able to work out what that meant and tracked the disturbances to the Medusa Cascade. (DW: The Stolen Earth) It is unknown whether the bees of Melissa Majoria returned to Earth after the Daleks were defeated.
Behind the Scenes
This fall in bee populations is mirrored in real life, and possibly inspired by the Colony Collapse Disorder, for which the driving forces are still largely unknown.
