I got an interesting phone call from a college student yesterday. Her professor is a beekeeper and has assigned her the project of coming back to him with "bee nicknames." He's not looking for apis mellifera or any technical terms; he's looking for things like "the girls." As a matter of fact, "the girls" is the only one I could think of. Do any of you call your bees by a nickname? If so, and you can let me know what it is, I'll pass it on to Jennifer.
I'm really curious myself at this point. . .never heard any other nicknames.
