Читать книгу Beekeeping For Dummies - Howland Blackiston - Страница 17

This is a “tomato/tomahto” issue. The British adhere to their use of the one word: “honeybee.” The Entomological Society of America, however, prefers to use two words “honey bee.” So that’s the version I use in this book. Here’s the society’s rationale: The honey bee is a true bee, like a house fly is a true fly, and thus should be two words. A dragonfly, on the other hand, is not a fly; hence, it is one word. Tip: Spell it both ways when web surfing. That way, you’ll cover all bases and hit all the sites!
