FASA 365 Day 259, Imperitoris Bombus Affinis, (Emperor Bumble Bee). 10-12 Inches.
For 1879
It would seem that the common “bumblebee” is actually fae, and therefore subject to the effects of Magic returning to the world; or ‘looking glass fever’.
Growing in size and intelligence. Overtaking multiple hives and bee species. Forming “empires” across the landscape. Farmers fear an imminent Bee revolution.
Artists note: My sister in law was looking through the 365 volumes and questioned why there were not Bumble Bees… I don’t think she would be prepared for these guys.
