There were mistakes in the blueprints. And when it came to fixing them, the engineer bees were met with more human obstinacy.
Bees used a very different school of thought in both study and in building. How should things be done? Why should they be done so?
Humans accepted the authority of bees in all decisions, but this didn't prevent them from going against bees' wishes unintentionally.
I found out that Researchina instructed her subordinates working with Workharder's people to ensure that the future dams were built in a way that would make it easier to convert them into power plants. However, the very concept was beyond the understanding of human architects.
By their designs, a dam should be as monolithic as possible, and while this was more dependable in the long run, it would make building power plants on dams more complicated later.
And this was just one example. This went down even to the details like what base should be used to mix cement for building!
