Best Bee Names 2024

Not nearly as many puns this year! A lot of famous people and fictional characters, plus a preponderance of food names. (There were a few “Name, Destroyer of Worlds,” but honestly, the world is too lovely, and bees save the planet, not destroy it.)

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to participate and Name a Bee. We raised $222 for the NWNJBA Grant Fund, which funds beekeepers and promotes beekeeping throughout Warren and Hunterdon Counties. Your donations make it possible for us to help others.
