Dusty the Mighty Mite

While in a PIMP strategy session this morning, we came up with a brilliant idea - a mascot for HIVE was suggested.

Of course the group mentioned that there were so much other "hives" and they all use "bee" and honeycomb related jargon, so I had the brilliant idea to think laterally and move to "bee adjacent" creatures.

Thanks to Jim from THGaming for the quick ai work:

Welcome Dusty the Mite!

Our new mascot for HIVE, Dusty lives among the bees in their swarm and on their bodies.

He is part of their ecosystem!

His cute round edges and non-threatening demeanor is sure to enamor children and parents alike to our blockchain.

But in case we don't get enough votes for Dusty, we always have a plan B, another "bee-adjacent" creature, the colorful bee-eater:

Check out this source of the San Diego Zoo, it sounds like we could even do a collab with them, possibly vis-a-vis @ackza and the SAND community.

"we eat bees" is not perhaps the best way to phrase it, but these birds eat all sorts of insects. Maybe we can paint these "bugs" in a bad light?

I am still thinking of more "bee-adjacent", we definitely want to avoid anything like human-related involvement with the bees....

As that would seem too much like "milking the system".

Tell me your ideas! The best bee-adjacent creature in the comments gets a super mega bonus upvote from the treasure hoard.

This Bee is very popular in our country. Much of an icon and a national pride.

I'm voting for the bee eater bird.

Idk, 6 legs just creeps me out.
Although I do think Dusty would be a more effective and fun mascot :)

Guess I was meant to fight the swarm instead of joining it... Well in that case screw the dust mites! WE ARE BIRDS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR EATING BEES FOR BREAKFIRST

I learned the lesson of loving your enemy far too early I guess...

Imagine a bee flying towards the hive with some honey in its beak. You will see the honey on the bee's beak, and you will also see the hive. A bee on a bird's beak is very scary.

Just like that we also see them flying and being hunted by birds and it is the best snack for them.
