I once called them little f****** when taking off a few supers for extraction on a warm evening and getting stung because I had shorts on.

. . . calling children 'kids' - kids are baby goats and little children may be more respected and not abused if they were thought to be children -NOT KIDS . . .

Interesting concept Heather. OK about children and respect, but what manner of abuse do you associate with very young goats I wonder?

I am of the mind that all young should be respected.

Your move, I believe.

Thanks for thinking I am young at 61 but I really thought it would have a proper name

Technically the majority of the female bees are little princesses.

Back to the original question, Ely, I'm with you on this, I never liked the term "Girls", they are not, I really care about my bees but they are not "Girls" and not really cute either.

Just my opinion.

Little f****** as Admin says is understandable sometimes

After a visit to Switzerland some years ago I can tell you the origins of the Bavarian slapping dance, as it was performed for me in a Beehaus..... Teach him to light his smoker....LOL

I call them girls sometimes. *shrug* there are more important issues to fret over than that.
