Clan Apis is a 2000 graphic novel by Jay Hosler.Focusing on the teaching of bees, it tells the story of a young bee name Nyuki and her struggles to make something of herself in the hive. Along the way, she meets several other bugs; some helpful, others hungry. She eventually decides to stay inside the hive, not wanting to die. Soon, however, she comes to learn just what being a bee is all about.Also released in full color under the title "Way of the Hive: A Honeybee's Story".Compare Crimsons – The Scarlet Navigators of the Ocean, for a similar manga about salmon. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: As it aims to be as realistic as possible, this is pretty much a given, seeing how vulnerable and short-lived insects tend to be. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Nyuki naturally dies at the end, but her body nourishes the flowers and so the Circle Of Life continues. | |

Virtuous Bees | |
| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_4109a4a3 | comment |
Virtuous Bees: Nyuki, Dvorah, and most of the hive are goodhearted bees that want to serve their hive, though it takes a little while for Nyuki to come around. | |

Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie: Nyuki's plan for her last foraging. She said she would return with a full load of nectar. She dies lying next to Bloomington and becomes his fertilizer, and by extension, his nectar for next year. Melissa brings her back to the hive in this form. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: All the characters have names for "bee" in different languages. "Dvorah" is Hebrew, "Nyuki" is Swahili, and so on. Sisyphus the Dung Beetle. In Classical Mythology, Sisyphus was a king damned to constantly roll a stone uphill for all eternity. | |

| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_7ec8506d | comment |
Animal Talk: The insect characters are all capable of speaking to each other, regardless of their species. The bees are also capable of communicating with flowers, though it's unclear whether or not the other insects can also do this. | |

Predators Are Mean | |
| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_ab497c22 | comment |
Predators Are Mean: Despite Sisyphus' spiel about Predation Is Natural, neither of the arthropods who try to eat Nyuki are particularly pleasant individuals. The mantis is a Manipulative Bitch, while Thom is a Sadist who relishes Nyuki's fear. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: Despite being an antagonist, the death of the marauding bee who kills Abeja is still warrants some sympathy. Justified, as she wasn't evil, just trying to help her hive too. | |

Predation Is Natural | |
| Clan Apis (Comic Book) / int_b8e69f30 | comment |
Predation Is Natural: Sisyphus the Dung Beetle's philosophy. He outright states saving Nyuki from Thom was an accident and he would have let him eat Nyuki if he hadn't knocked her off his flower. | |
