"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

Instead of a reply, the scout silently pointed above us.

Puzzled, I raised my head, squinting against the sun. At first, I saw nothing wrong—then I choked on air.

In the slightly cloudy sky above us, a dragon was circling! And unlike all the other times I saw flying beasts in the sky, it was definitely watching *us*.

It was also flying low enough that I could make out details of its appearance, but not low enough that I could see its status.

The majestic, if terrifying, creature was covered in glossy black scales all over. Technically, I supposed, it was a wyvern, not a dragon—it only had the back part of clawed feet, while the front one became its wide wings. From here, it looked small, but I was sure it was at least a dozen meters long, even without the tail.

There be dragons
