It depends on you, really.

I could follow each individual in a swarm of bees if I wanted to, but then the rest of the world would shrivel up, which isn't really what I'm going for. I've got to compartmentalize things if I ever want to get anything done. It helps to have servants - I've got whole armies and a few reliable generals back home.

Also, to be fair, bees are a little more predictable than humans.
