like what if the first person to coin the phrase, for the one bee that lays around just producing offspring, lived in a world that had no monarchies? or, were radically opposed to the concept.

also what do you think we would name them today if we just found them?

    that’s why it’s all about the human perspective. the first person to give it a name lived in a world of kings and queens, but if they’d lived in a world with no kings and queens but the world that had slaves, they might have called it the slave bee. there are infinite iterations, hence my question
