BeeBot is a very interesting tale to tell. BeeBot's journey begins with myself running a Minecraft server, that was updating to version 1.15 of the game - this is the version where bees were introduced, and I liked this. Our head moderator did not. So when they went on a week break, they told me not to spawn any bees. BeeBot was functional by the end of the week.

At that time, BeeBot was only a screen scraper with a bot frontend. And then, I got bored many days thereafter, and beebot grew and grew, for months after. Until, about three to four months later, I was half way through giving it web functionality, before I decided - NO, this is too much effort for a cheap joke, I could be spending this time working on something else.

By the time I shelved the project, Beebot had been iterated upon twice, recieved an android and windows release, and updated many times in between.

Beebot's code is not publically available, however beebot was basically transplanted into sapphire, who you can read about here
