"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

Link is at the end of the novel's description.

Discord is up!

The army was flying over the rocky ground and sparse forest when the forward scouts returned, saying there were hornets ahead—but only a couple of them.

"Keep advancing, but be ready to fight," I ordered.

Soon, we saw each other, and even *those* murderous creatures had a pause at the sheer amount of their opponents.

However, they weren't called "murder hornets" for being peace-loving, cautious, or smart.

They were called this because they were 7 meters tall beasts with jaws that could bite off a bee's head in a snap. I wished we were in our home territory so my bees could make use of my "Homeland Protector" title.

"They are attacking!" someone shouted ahead of us.

True—the hornets were closing the distance with incredible speed.

"Bolas at the ready! Be ready to fight them off! Don't charge and don't break the line!" Bloodimina shouted, and her personal drummer switched the rhythm from the marching to the defensive one.

Stupid enough to just come and get killed
