Why goes a ratel also by the name Honey Badger? Because the bear was
originally called Honey Wolf by the old Anglo-Saxons. Consequently,
should not people be called honey monkeys?

Poor bees, you should have invented sour beer concentrate instead of
honey as a reserve.

Because people prefer to be called homo sapiens sapiens and
being more capable than badgers or bears have learned to use bees
and have clothing to protect themselves from the bees. Besides that
they have learned to grow sugar cane and sugar beets as well as
developing artificial sweeteners.

Describe an evolutionary pathway that would lead to
Bees vomiting sour beer concentrate rather than concentrated sugars.
Would sour beer concentrate be a suitable food for larva?

The Homo sapiens sapiens have given themselves this name. An
uninvolved observer would most likely have come to an other, depending
on the observations made.

The fact that it makes a difference whether something is given a name
by the owner or an outsider is well known.

The Australian Aborigines liked to eat witchetty grubs. What name
might have an extraterrestrial visitor on a stopover in South
Australia 40,000 years ago to refuel water, the earthlings given?

Under this designation we would probably still be recorded in the
interstellar files of this galaxy until today.
