I'm still learning how to even make these (even though I've been at it since 2013, I suck) and it was hell to create.

What would be interesting to do, is to somehow make a glider rake of a different period. Or to make one that has multiple barrels. However that would work.

The hives are 21 blocks apart (they have a line of 21 dead cells between them). Where are these beehives coming from, anyway?

well that's unfortunate.

Is there any ship of said description that can eat this arrangement, then?

that thing on the right is a block. For some reason it's clipping out the other two cells

Are there any c/2 orthogonal spaceships that can either eat these beehives, rotate them 90°, or turn them into blocks, while not being destroyed in the process?

Also, they have to be moving to the right while doing this.
