D6x6 Abuzz Abeils

Getting one of these done is like pushing a sliver out of my brain.

D6These abeils have
1 luxuriously fluffy black-and-yellow fur.
2 elongated false-stingers worn like codpieces would be for humans.
3 psychedelic patterns made by sticking fistfuls of dry pigments to their setae like pollen would.
4 bare black exoskeletons, inlaid with gold. The more gold lines their exoskeleton has, the higher their status is.
5 iridescent blue-green exoskeletons.
6antennae bound so they grow into intricate symmetrical symbols.

D6These abeils communicate with humans
1 by hiring of a perfumers' guild who have noses sensitive enough to interpret their pheromones as translators.
2 using a special "mediator" caste, bred and raised to be the ideal intermediates between the two species.
3 through a highly formalized regional dance tradition that mimics their own waggle dance language.
4 only with great difficulty, through rough barter, violence, or avoidance.
5 with a simple gestural language that can be spoken regardless of its speaker's limbs or digits.
6through addicts of the mind-altering mead fermented from their honey, who become sensitive to the abeils' collective consciousness.

D6These abeils' hive
1 has been enticing (and sometimes coercing) human engineers and architects to come and grant it cutting-edge style and amenities.
2 has been infiltrated by parasites that mimic them near-flawlessly, giving rise to an air of paranoia.
3 is partitioned throughout by quarantine measures to prevent the spread of a fatal fungal infection.
4 was built in the ruins that a modern kingdom claims as its own heritage. That kingdom is now verging to war to push the abeils out.
5 is old, and in dire need of repairs due to the previous queen's negligence.
6was accidentally constructed according to principles of ultraterrestrial sacred geometry, and is now lodged halfway into another plane.

D6These abeils' queen
1 is young, inexperienced, and beset on all sides by scheming advisors.
2 sees herself as a benevolent conqueror, bringing harmony to benighted mammals.
3 is a jaded and unpleasant crone who stirs drama among her subjects for her own amusement.
4 was just assassinated, and now the hive is riven by her princesses' power struggle.
5 is a recent and zealous convert to an evangelical faith, and has alienated much of her hive's population pushing moral reforms on them.
6is a strict micro-manager obsessed with optimizing all the hives' processes, losing sight of the greater spirit of rulership.

D6These abeils' honey
1 is produced from meat instead of pollen, and accelerates natural healing as well as building muscle mass.
2 has a delicate yet complex taste that makes it a highly sought-after commodity.
3 can reanimate corpses interred in it as sticky mummies.
4 concentrates the stimulant compounds found in the blue flowers which grow near their hive, and can grant energy, wakefulness, and even a heart attack when consumed.
5 can be exactingly refined to make amber gemstones, which they use as diplomatic gifts.
6is mixed with their wax to make candles that have a soporifically calming aroma.

D6These abeils are rumoured to
1 fly out at night and kidnap men to sate their inhumanly feminine lusts upon.
2 have a great stock of gold which they mix into the royal jelly they feed their prospective queens.
3 have taught humanity the secret of city-building in an attempt to make them eusocial and hive-dwelling too.
4 be the descendants of an empress cursed for her ruinous hunger for honey-cakes.
5 be the true cause of tinnitus - the noise one hears is their distant buzzing.
6inject their consciousnesses into those they sting, and thereby psychically replace human elites.
