Hi Medhat & Jerry, Funk and Wagnall's Standard Dictionary defines ‘bee’ as any of a large number of hymenopterous insects … and ‘insect’ as a minute invertebrate animal … Therefore, a bee is an animal. The fact that bee programs are considered in the plant division in the USA and Canada is immaterial to the definition.
