Grub Cave
this was the term used to describe the deepest part of a Colony hive, where the larval members of the Kind were tended until they hatched into adults. Each larva was tended by an adult, although the attending adults changed on a regular basis. Each adult groomed the larva and fed it shredded food. The larva would then exude a sweet-smelling fluid that the adult then consumed. This created an intensely coordinated and stable social structure within the hive, as both larvae and adults were dependent upon each other for survival.
