- "Buzz cut" — A real haircut named after the buzzing clippers. A bee would obviously want one.
- "Frisbee" (frizz-bee) — A bee with frizzy hair. It's absurd and visual — the perfect combination for young kids.
- "Hive got a crush on you" (I've got) — A romantic pun that only works out loud, great for Valentine cards.
