Bee people, but they're not a hivemind, they're just a bunch of klutzy dorks.

Wasn't there a scifi series where humans were best buddies with insect aliens?
Quinn Angstrom
there was but it wasn't funny about it
Love Snake Kaja
I actually briefly did a quest from the perspective of doofus ant people interacting with humans for the first time
Quinn Angstrom
they have queens but it's an elected position
Love Snake Kaja
In my case, I didn't use Queen but rather Mother
Love Snake Kaja
She wasn't in a position of actual command
Love Snake Kaja
Her only real duty was laying eggs. Though she did have a bunch of hobbies to pass the time while laying eggs.
Love Snake Kaja
Imagine a massive motherly ant knitting while spawning eggs.

Sincere question since I legitimately don't have firsthand experience: isn't this bug fables, that's what I was led to believe it was
Quinn Angstrom
bug fables is a typical fantasy setting populated by bugs instead of humans, which is different from humans encountering a mysterious insectoid race who turn out to be aggressively ordinary
penis bacon
AH
penis bacon
Okay the human presence is needed, got it

Thank you for clarifying
