We did several brainstorming about that when (re)designing HiveBuzz.
The bee ecosystem doesn't work for several reasons:
- it does not match the well known marine ecosystem used outside of Hive, especially for whales
- it is role oriented (queen, guards, workers, ...) where the marine ecosystem is weight oriented (amount of tokens)
This is why we have chosen to keep the existing levels (using the more friendly redfish instead of plankton).
It is ok for me like this.
