"Bee" means any member of the superfamily Apoidea, "ant" means any member of the family Formicidae in the superfamily Vespoidea, and "wasp" means any member of Apocrita that isn't a bee or an ant (including the hornets, which are in Vespoidea). (I am ignoring spelling bees, WASPs, and any other senses that aren't Hymenoptera.) What words can we use to distinguish bees and any other bifce that might need distinguishing? phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
