The Hive is a Dungeon in the shape of a honeycomb, made of segmented hexagonal rooms connected together to form a maze.
This dungeon was set up by 
Anna_28 and 
Void42_.
Structural Design
The structure was designed after a honeycomb, with Minecraft-style bees (designed after Bee mobs in Java 1.15+) going in and out of hexagonal cells, and with one flying above the structure to serve as a viewing platform. Flowers around the margins were designed after various real-life flowers off images that were built into low-resolution 3D based on typical/expected flower morphologies. These include:
- Ornamental Allium
- Anchusa
- Aster
- Clematis
- Cow parsley
- Forget-me-nots
- Germander speedwell
- Mallow
- Mustard-family
- Spathiphyllum
- Various Orchids (including bee orchid)
The decision to add 3D flowers was based on a comment made a while back after Anna_28 showed Microcosms Flowerland in July 2022.
<Microcosms (Discord link)> I'm tempted to build flowers but based on real ones
(Though after some more searching, a few realistic flowers were found hidden beneath the large canopy of colorful flowers at Flowerland)
