My family and I visited a friend while we were in Sri Lanka, and it turned out that they had these hanging mason pots on a tree that bees regularly took shelter in! While these look very much like the Apis mellifera I am much more familiar with, since I was in Sri Lanka I was quite excited by the idea that these guys may actually be a different Apis species! In light of that, I believe this species to be A. cerana, AKA: the Indian Honey Bee!

Honey Bees are one of the most recognisable insects and are the most commonly domesticated bee species in the world. They are somewhat variable in colour but are usually brown with a banded dull yellow and brown abdomen. The head, thorax and abdomen are densely covered in hair. The legs and around the eyes are also hairy. These highly social insects live in large hives dominated by a single queen. The queen is larger than workers or the male drones, and is responsible for egg laying and for controlling the hive using pheromones. The majority of the hive is made up of worker bees that build and maintain the hive, and collect nectar and pollen to feed the developing bee larvae.

*Sound of a chair creaking, followed by a faint sigh.*
‘nother day, ‘nother destination. This whale of a vessel is prepped and ready for another jaunt through the cosmos. We’re flying to Likovent in three days’ time, where the locals expect yet another show of our "power. . .” It’s all theatrics! Hovering ‘bove the city like some lethargic asteroid while they cheer and wave as if it means anything!

Well, ‘ere we are, circling ‘round this horrid cave. Uhhg… I can’t even see the crowds from ‘ere, but I swear they’re more interested in the spectacle than what we actually represent. Can’t believe I have to don this ridiculously colorful uniform just to play the part of the grand captain— Gah! No one is goin’ to see me! They don’t seem to grasp that real strength comes from unity.

Finished the flyover and a “meet an’ greet” with the local leaders. Same ol’ song an’ dance. Huh. They compliment our ship, call us brave defenders, all while scheming behind closed doors. *Rubs beard.* I’ve ‘ad my fill of this charade. I should be strategizing and prepping for real threats, not playing nice with politicians who couldn’t find er’ way out of their castles and mansions if they tried.

*Sound of tapping fingers on a desk.*
Now we’re en route to our next destination—Yörm III. More local “impressing” to do. *Deep breath.* I can’t shake the feeling that we’re just spinning our wheels. We’ve got genuine threats lurking in the damned shadows, and here we are, flitting ‘bout like bees in a garden. *Chuckles darkly.* I miss the days of victories and glory instead of just showing off our metal.

*Sound of a glass being set down.*
As we prepare for ‘nother run around, I can’t help but feel like I’m just a glorified tour guide at this point. *Frustrated sigh.* But it can’t drown out the sense of frustration. I joined the damned CSF to make a difference, not to hop from ‘ne planet to the next, impressing locals who wouldn’t know real leadership if it buzzed in their ears. Tomorrow brings another flyby, and I’ll try to muster some enthusiasm, but the truth is, I’m just tired of all this toting ‘round.
End of Log.

SHIPtember 2024 Experience
I have wanted to participate in SHIPtember for several years now. It is always enjoyable to see the builds when September rolls around. I was excited to finally participate, however setbacks happened delaying the final product until today. I hope there is no penalty for being late. In any case, I finished the build, including everything from idea to presentation. Clocking in at 107.5 studs, this ship didn’t really have much of a plan coming in other than the framework shown in early images. As I went along, the build gained a personality of its own, ie - bees. Once I had the theme set, I ran with it - everything from the lettering on the side, beehive pinup, hexagon shaped emblems, and of course honeycomb and bees on the stand. It was a great reward to finish this project, setbacks and all, and in the end it will have a permanent place on my shelves.

An image of a dying (unfortunately) Apis mellifera worker bee found in November 2013. I've had all the time in the world to make a couple of stacks in that beautiful autumn morning.

La abeja europea (Apis mellifera), también conocida como abeja doméstica o abeja melífera, es una especie de himenóptero apócrito de la familia Apidae. Es la especie de abeja con mayor distribución en el mundo. Originaria de Europa, África y parte de Asia, fue introducida en América y Oceanía. Fue clasificada por Carolus Linnaeus en 1758. A partir de entonces numerosos taxónomos describieron variedades geográficas o subespecies que, en la actualidad, superan las 30 razas (Fuente:Wikipedia).
