The End and the Bee-ginning (Pollen Protocol)

By ⓉheⒷearded①der .

Death by hornet swarm was not how Colin, a kind-hearted beekeeper, imagined his end. Now, he's a worker bee, minuscule and disoriented, within the last surviving hive in his own garden. Stripped of his human memories and form, he grapples with terrifying new instincts and the impossible task of communicating with his new kin. Can he truly adapt to this new, buzzing existence?

The once-familiar garden has become a vast, perilous wilderness where every flower holds both promise and peril. As Colin struggles to survive, he unlocks unique monster abilities tied to his bee physiology, his human empathy re emerging to protect his new family. An unlikely alliance with Brutus, a grizzled old drone, becomes his only guide in this deadly new world.

The aftermath of the hornet attack looms large, with starvation a constant threat. Colin's human ingenuity, combined with his burgeoning bee abilities, offers a glimmer of hope for the struggling colony. But every pollen-laden journey is a life-or-death gamble, and the hive's future rests on his tiny shoulders.

Will Colin ever return to his human life, or is his new identity as a bee his ultimate destiny? He must fight for the survival of his unexpected family in a world where a single drop of dew can be a deadly ocean.
