"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.

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

It didn't take much time to explain the things to Workharder.

Our bees already had some digging experience. Now their job was to dig tunnels under the old hornet nest that will reach the tree roots underground.

They had to make enough caverns to fit all the aphids and give them access to the roots. But of course, there was a catch.

"Dig carefully! Actually… Take a squad of Researcher Bees with you. They are smarter—maybe this will help. If you dig too far with no supports for the ceiling, it might fall right over your heads! Maybe the ground can be made more solid with wax? Ask the Researchers, certainly."

"If even ants can make tunnels, surely we can do it even better!" Workharder waved her hands dismissively.

I gave her a Disapproving Dad Stare and held it until she wilted a little.

"Don't be so overconfident, Workharder! I don't want to hear anything about any workers being injured by tunnel collapses."
