General

Simply put, I loved this. This really puts a face to Daevite horticulture, and in doing so has a lot of unique character to it. The high point for me in this article was the excerpt from SCP-140 describing this anomaly: the window into the thought process and what these bees represent for the Daevite community was very intriguing to read through. There's a lot of powerful statements made here which are just delightful, such as the one about the Daevite's legacy being of failure. They work very well to create a great article, regardless of any prior knowledge of the Daevites. In addition, the build-up to the final statement is just excellent. Really powerful stuff.

I don't have any real glaring complaints with this: I thought this was a very good piece which used its length sparingly and used it to tell a compelling story about the failure of the Daevites. Hard upvote on this one.

Line-By-Line

This is commonly, but not exclusively, pollination.

I feel like this line could use a little more clarification that this is in reference to the interaction.

[…], which is in the shape of Daevite temple.

Please correct me wrong, but I think there should be an "a" between the words "of" and "Daevite" here.

If SCP-140-A cohabitated the Glendale Homestead with nonanomalous humanity

I think "cohabited" is fine.

I myself have sat in those seats many times in the past myself, like a little bee.

Having "myself" appear twice in the same sentence is redundant.

It is funny how we had this little mirror in of the whole of the Empire in a single hive.

Maybe delete the first "in"?

Rosa chinesis (Chinese rose)

Should be chinensis.

Also, in this paragraph you use "however" to start two sentences in a row. Maybe change one of them to a different word?

SCP-5280 typically behaves identically to baseline A. mellifera. However, when an instance of SCP-5280 encounters another Hymenoptera hive, the entire colony will behave aggressively and attack the other hive. However, SCP-5280 is typically unable to effectively defend itself, and the SCP-5280 hive will be destroyed in either the attack or the Hymenoptera counterattack.
