Synopsis for "Drones of the Queen Bee!"
While celebrating Snapper Carr completing his exams, the Justice League of America is called to stop a group of bee-men who are robbing the Tower of Jewels, the Capitol museum, and the National Library.
In attempting to stop their opponents, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Flash, and Martian Manhunter are taken under the control of the bee-men's leader, Zazzala, the alien Queen Bee. She forces them to travel to an unexplored world in her home solar system to collect three different chemicals that will form an elixir to make her immortal, promising to let the JLA free if they do her bidding.
Agreeing to do so, the heroes do succeed in fighting past the various traps set to defend the chemicals and bring them to Zazzala. As part of her bargain she lets them free, boasting that once she has reached immortality she can destroy them at her leisure. However, the JLA had tricked her by sealing the chemicals in indestructible bottles that she cannot open, foiling her plans.
