"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!"

I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world.

There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days.

Sounds like a dream, right?

In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.)

The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one.
There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me.

But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable!

For those who want to know more:
This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments.
The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. 
The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality.
Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble.
MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it.

Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL.

Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions.

Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)

〔JACKPOT—LUCKY DRAW! In this pick, you gain three tiers of a gene instead of one! This is a gift from the God of Humanity. For improving strength, you have a choice of next genes: 'Horns III', 'Fire Breathing III', and 'Electrical Charge I->IV'.〕


〔Horns III: gives large multipurpose horns.〕


〔Fire Breathing III: allows spitting flammable liquid to a medium distance and in larger amounts.〕


〔Electrical Charge I->IV: increases voltage of the electrical discharge.〕


"This isn't bad luck at all! This is great luck, actually! How… I didn't think this was possible! Three tiers by the price of one attribute point? Just insane!"


"I didn't foresee this!" Undecided exclaimed with a jolt. "Is that… good? I mean, the genes—not the prophecy. The prophecy was all wrong!"


She huddled on herself and closed her eyes, probably going deep into the visions. The other Oracle in the room, Undecided's student-slash-assistant hovered over her with a worried expression.
