A mechanical bee and beehive made of stained glass. How to draw a mechanical bee. Head: round lens-like eyes, metal antennae or sensor-like antennae. Thorax: armored parts with visible gears or pistons, screws or rivets at the seams of the armor. Abdomen: instead of stripes, "armor plates" stacked in steps, with slits showing a bit of internal wiring. Beehive ideas: each hexagon as an "armor panel" or "dock," with small mechanical bees waiting inside. Some walls open to reveal pipes or cables. A large core or energy tank at the center of the hive. Background: watercolor with a radiant swirl of light.
