"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.

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)

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

Just as I thought, nothing had interrupted my peaceful bonding time with my wife and daughters.

Bad news fell on my head only when I declared the picnic to be over and flew back to Hive Supremo with Ambrosia in tow. My other Advisers stayed behind to do some more administrative work before the train rolled too far.

Only five minutes after I dismissed my bodyguards and was about to plan my next genetic advancement, when Bloodhero caught up to me, flying so fast she almost crashed into my back.

"Father! A report—the green giants have been found!"

"Sorry, Amby, it looks like the gene upgrade and celebratory horizontal gene transfer will have to wait. Bloodhero, the details!"

The details were provided by a palpably anxious Beehound Hound-Solo.

I brought her to the privacy of the Council Chamber and told all Attendants to stay outside, but the girl still shook with anxiety as she spoke.
