Beekeeping
The term queen bee is typically used to refer to an adult, mated female that lives in a honey bee colony or hive; she is usually the mother of most, if not all, the bees in the hive. The queens are developed from larvae selected by worker bees and specially fed in order to become sexually mature. There is normally only one adult, mated queen in a hive, in which case the bees will usually follow and fiercely protect her. The term "queen bee" can be more generally applied to any dominant reproduct -
Housekeeping
Housekeeping refers to the management of duties and chores involved in the running of a household engaged in by its occupants and/or persons hired to perform these tasks. According to Mrs. Beaton’s Book of Household Management, the housekeeper is second in command in the house and "except in large establishments, where there is a house steward, the housekeeper must consider herself as the immediate representative of her mistress". -

Housekeeping
This is really relevant because Rosaleen really was like a replacement mother for Lily, taking the place of the absent mistress of the house. She not only kept Lily sane, she also had put the ideas about early integration/equal rights that Lily didn’t clue into until later when she had lived with August for an period of two months. -
Beekeeping
It is somewhat related to how August is the Queen bee at her house. She is the mother of all of their stories and prayers and everything in between. She keeps everyone in line and things flowing smoothly, without her, there is no hive (household synchronization) -

According to this, up until 2001, most child abuse was not monitored by law enforcement or the government. So the abuse that Lily withstood for all those years were extremely close to being legal.
