code-hive

Bee hive for developers. Workers are build agents, drones are testers, queen is orchestrator, honey is data, wax is infrastructure.

Usage

const { Hive, BEE_TYPES, FLOWER_TYPES, PREDATORS, SEASONS } = require('./src/hive');

const hive = new Hive('Apiary Alpha');
hive.spawnQueen('Queen Orchestrator');
hive.spawnBee('builder-1', BEE_TYPES.WORKER);
hive.spawnBee('guard-1', BEE_TYPES.GUARD);
hive.spawnBee('scout-1', BEE_TYPES.FORAGER);

// Discover flowers (APIs)
hive.addFlower(FLOWER_TYPES.REST_ROSE);
hive.addFlower(FLOWER_TYPES.GRAPHQL_SUNFLOWER);

// Forage for data
hive.forage(['scout-1']);

// Threat approaches
hive.spawnPredator(PREDATORS.WASP);
hive.defend();

// Time passes
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) hive.tick();
hive.advanceDay();

console.log(hive.hiveView());
console.log(hive.report());

Bee Types

• Worker (Build Agent) — Builds cells, stores honey, maintains hive
• Drone (Tester) — Tests everything, consumes honey
• Forager (Data Collector) — Flies to flowers, collects nectar
• Guard (Security) — Defends hive entrance, checks incoming
• Nurse (Onboarding) — Tends larvae, future-focused

Flowers (APIs)

• REST Rose — Standard reliable nectar source
• GraphQL Sunflower — Rich but unpredictable
• Webhook Tulip — Pushes nectar, unreliable timing
• gRPC Orchid — Fast, efficient, premium nectar
• SOAP Dandelion — Old, still producing, nobody wants

Predators

• DDoS Wasp — Overwhelms entrance
• SQL Injection Hornet — Devastating
• Tech Debt Mite — Parasite weakening from within
• Data Breach Bear — Takes everything

Components

• Bee — 5 types, health/energy/age, foraging, combat, waggle dance
• HoneycombCell — Hexagonal service mesh with honey storage
• Flower — 5 API types with nectar/pollen/reliability
• Predator — 4 threat types that attack the hive
• Hive — Queen, seasons, honey economy, ASCII cross-section
