Okay--think about "bonnet." Head covering for women in the "olden days." Tied on, under the chin, deep enough to prevent the sun from ruining complexions.\n\nNow, if you had a bee in there, you'd be slappin' yosef and hollerin', wouldn't ya? \n\nNow, bring the olden days forward to the beginning of the 20th century. The 'bee' is indeed an idea. The 'bonnet' represents the traditional female role in society. For a woman to have a strong opinion or idea in her head was a troublesome as her having a bee in her bonnet. You know, pesky things like wanting to vote, divorce nasty husbands, own their own property, inherit property, etc. Those ideas were "bees in the bonnets" of women who were labeled troublemakers by the men who were in power and didn't want to share. Shoulda sicced Barney on them...\n\nYou may quote me. <g>

have you ever heard of the bombadier bettle? they are a small bug that sprays liquid at temperatures of 212 degrees Fahrenheit out of its rear by mixing two chemicals. \n\nok so now have you heard of Pachycephalsaurus (i don't know if i spelled that right!) its a dinosaur that has chambers in its  crest. these chambers are similiar to the bombadier beetles chambers. they are conected to its nose and mouth though instead of its butt. its possible that dragon myths were started from these or other now extinct animals

It's a way of explaining the process of reproduction to a child - bees distribute the pollen from flower to flower and they make baby flowers. Birds lay eggs, and a while later out pops a baby chick. It's something you can show to a child without needing to go into other details. Also, it takes away all the fun, because as a parent you don't want you child to be the one demonstrating their 'bees' to 'birds', if you get my drift.\n\nI think it's effective - for instance, if it were all about the dogs and the horses, I would assume it would only result in further questions..

The bumble bee is related to the honey bee.  It is a flying insect of the genus Bombus in the family Apidae. Like the common honeybee, of which it is a relative, the bumblebee feeds on nectar and gathers pollen to feed its young. These creatures are beneficial to humans and the plant world alike, and tend to be larger than other members of the bee family. Most, but not all, bumblebee species are gentle.\n\nBumblebees are social insects that are characterized by a black and yellow striped body, a commonality among the majority of the species of Bombus; however, some species are known to have orange or even red on their bodies. Another distinguishing characteristic is a hairlike substance, called pile, that covers their entire body, making them appear and feel fuzzy. Queen and worker bumblebees can sting. Their sting is not barbed like that of the honeybee, so they can sting more than once.

You can probably search up all those questions on google or something. But I think Venus got it's name from the Roman/Greek God Venus.

It means she has a bee up her butt.  That's why she does so many stupid things - like certifying Bush as the winner in Florida in 2000.  She was distracted because it kept stinging.

The wax that they use is secreted from glands on their bellies.  Don't know what the spider web stuff is you refer to, perhaps spiders which do sometimes spin webs in the area near hives. Beekeepers with commercial hives are always attentive to the possibility that a black-widow may have set up house-keeping on the pallet or hive stand for hives.

Yeah I have read about that a lot of natural and alternative medicine books advocate this idea.Supposedly the insects not only bees are able to sense the deficiency and become threatened .

This is a phrase created by Ray Bradbury in the novel "Dandelion Wine".  \n\n"It’s a story of a thousand memories of things we can’t forget, that we should store away in the back of our minds, like Grandfather stored away the homemade dandelion wine in the cool dark of the cellar, to be opened and drunk in the cold of the winter, when a memory of the dandelion summer is just what the soul needs."\n\nSo it isn't a meteoroligical term, it's a phrase meant to describe how we remember those summers when we were children.  The summers where every day was sunny and warm, where the bees buzzed in the flowers and nothing could hurt you. The days where it seemed like you could get anything you wanted just by wishing on a dandelion head and blowing the seed head off.

Is a butterfly named for the color of its excrement or because it was thought to steal butter? It is hard to imagine that anyone ever noticed the color of butterfly excrement or believed the insect capable of such theft. The first suggestion rests on the fact that an early Dutch name for the butterfly was boterschijte. The second is based on an old belief that the butterfly was really a larcenous witch in disguise.

Many beetles survive freezing...even ones as common as the Ladybird...(Ladybug)\nThe temperature range you give sounds a bit far-fetched, though.

A bee named Midas becomes obsessed with his part of the honeycomb looking better than all the other bees.  He spends all his time making sure his section is turned just right so that when the sun hits it the honey will glint like gold.  But since he has to stay right at the hive protecting his section all the time he does not do the hard work of gathering and collecting the pollen to bring back to the hive.  Soon his section is drained of honey and begins to dry up.  The rest of the hive complains to the queen bee and old Midas is kicked out like a. . . BUM-blebee.

Yes they sound like "cicada killers", actually wasps, not bees. The nest can be eliminated pretty easily with a commercial spray, but it would be best to let professionals handle it, especially if you are allergic.\n\nhttp://www.ent.iastate.edu/clinic/files/images/cicadakiller.jpg\n\n.

I used to think it was a reference to something very common in life, like the birds and the bees are in nature. It was a kind of twisted reference to something so plain and commonplace, in a satirical way. But this question coming up here made me look around. I think the following article gives a plausible explanation.\n\nhttp://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bir1.htm
