Bee

Bee. Illustration copyrighted.First mentioned in Deut. 1:44. Swarms of bees, and the danger of their attacks, are mentioned in Ps. 118:12.

Samson found a "swarm of bees" in the carcass of a lion he had slain (Judg. 14:8). Wild bees are described as laying up honey in woods and in clefts of rocks (Deut. 32:13; Ps. 81:16). In Isa. 7:18 the "fly" and the "bee" are personifications of the Egyptians and Assyrians, the inveterate enemies of Israel.

Killer Bees You're in the Amazon rain forest collecting butterflies. You've accidentally disturbed a hive of Africanized honey bees - "Killer bees." They're swarming all around you. Try to COLLECT AS MANY BUTTERFLIES AS POSSIBLE, without letting the bees sting you. Point-and-click at butterflies to capture them. If a bee touches your pointer, you're stung and lose points (ouch!). Get too many stings, and your game is over. Try again for a higher score.
