The Clockwork Bees
Mechanical bees swarm the orchards, pollinating faster and better than nature ever did, but they're building something in the old mill—a hive of brass and obsidian that hums with stolen lightning. The inventor is dead. His notes are encrypted. The bees protect their queen. Dismantle the hive, claim the invention, or broker peace before the bees decide humans are inefficient.
