In Chapter ten, Aldous starts referring to the fertilizing hatcheries as “beehives.” Through the use of this metaphor, Huxley creates a sense of production and urgency, different from the “pale,” “gray,” and “solemn,” death-like imagery he painted at the beginning of the book. He even incorporates onomatopoeia by saying, “Buzz! Buzz!” when describing the “buzz of work” (99) in the hatcheries. Both quotes compare the precise, focused work of the
