The Glass Bees / int_4c6205c5	comment	New Technology is Evil: Richard sees the highly advanced technology being introduced as being "incompatible with human happiness." He felt this way during the war, as well, disliking the manner in which mechanized war machines replaced mounted cavalrymen. Nevertheless, he does eventually find himself marveling at the efficiency of the titular glass bees.

The Glass Bees / int_9af42bed	comment	Appeal to Tradition: This seems to be Richard's main reason to opposing the use of tanks instead of horses during the war; he is concerned that that the use of mechanized war machines will erase the proud tradition of the cavalry regiments.

The Glass Bees / int_9e1e14ea	type	Ambition Is Evil
The Glass Bees / int_9e1e14ea	comment	Ambition Is Evil: Richard's colleague Fillmor is an extremely ambitious man, but lacks imagination; he is driven solely by a need to succeed in life no matter what the cost. To say nothing of Giacomo Zapparoni, a ruthless businessman who has people killed. Ultimately subverted in that Zapparoni only makes people think he has former employees murdered, in order to prevent defecting engineers from selling secrets to rivals.

The Glass Bees / int_ba59ac1f	comment	Technophobia: Richard doesn't like modern technology much, thanks primarily to his experiences in the war. He used to be a cavalry officer, but when tanks replaced horses, he was forced into becoming an inspector for the tanks to ensure they ran smoothly.

The Glass Bees / int_cbe687ab	comment	Corrupt Corporate Executive: Giacomo Zapparoni. Or so it seems. Whenever one of his engineers quits, he has a penchant for hiring people to, um, "take care" of them to protect his company's intellectual property. At the end, it's revealed that the severed ears Richard found in the pond are actually from robots, and Zapparoni never actually had anyone killed.
