Honey bee vs. honeybee is arguable, although honey bee is correct.

Queen extruder is not correct unless one has a machine to extrude queens.  "
*Extrusion* is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_%28geometry%29> profile. A
material is pushed through a die (a certain manufacturing tool
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_%28manufacturing%29>) of the desired
cross-section."  Calling a queen excluder a queen extruder is ignorant.  A
publisher insisting that the incorrect term be substituted for the correct
term is pigheaded ignorance.  I would not buy the book and would strongly
advise no one buy the book.  Furthermore, I would advise anyone involved
with the project to disassociate them-self from the effort!

Aaron Morris - I think, therefore I bee!
