On my screen "candles" looked like "candies" and I was wondering why honey wasn't accepted! ;)

Can't believe I remembered the "A" word. I initially just went past it thinking I had no clue what that was. Then, just before I gave up, it came to me....like a dream.

Please consider “apiarist” as an alternative to “beekeeper”. Thank you.

I second this. Apiarist is the first thing I tried (although, in fairness, beekeeper was easy to get).

Vote for that, too. I never thought of beekeeper because I thought the quiz was looking for the technical term.

Very nice! Grammar note: the apostrophe is not needed in the possessive "its" ("Male bee; it's only purpose...")

If I point out your spelling of 'congartulations' can I get the award for May 2022?!

Will I get June’s award, for pointing out that you really ought to have a comma in that sentence, after the word “congartulations?” I’ve tried to make sure I don’t make any mistakes of my own here, so as not to look daft, and too avoid inviting early entries for July. If I have made any egregious errors here (any spelling mistakes or grammar) do please feel free to cirrect me also…

“Too avoid.” “Cirrect.” Any obvious Easter eggs I missed? (I know, obvious Easter eggs is an oxymoron, but I didn’t know what else to call them.)

Yep, same. This seems a bit light on pop culture and I was honestly expecting a question on the Bee Movie.
