Aeneid Bk1: Describe the 'bee' simile in L430-441 and its significance.

The bee simile highlights the business of all the people and the suitable buzz in the city. All seem to be working cohesively together as a unit as they all perform their personal tasks. Its positivity is highlighted by the pairing of natural imagery through 'flowers' and 'summer'.There is constant activity in the scene, which is duly admired by Aeneas.
