Well, after several days of trying to to figure out this great publicity stunt, many answers have come to me.
First of all, we would all hope for an early release of halo 2, but we all know that is wishful thinking. (however, a demo may not be to far fetched..)
Second of all, the answer is SPIDERS. Yes, spiders, how many obvious references are there to spiders at ilovebees.com. Not just in the source code but on the actual pages themselves. If you look at the blog page in a white box right underneath the header I Love Bees, there is a quote from the book The Metamorphosis, talking about a man named Gregor Samsa who awoke to find himself changed into a "verminous insect". Another obvious reference is made to greek mythology about Arachne, a woman who was changed into a spider by the Goddess Athena.
So on August 7, or july 27, when those timers run out, we can expect to hear about spiders in the story of halo 2. Maybe it will be footage reased or perhaps some still images of a new master creature that is in a spider like form.
and thirdly, this is all just one big publicity stunt. We can refer back to "The A.I. Game" Created by Microsoft to surround the Spielberg movie "A.I." And as I was reading the forums, a comment stuck out and proved it's relevancy in this situation. The simpsons did an episode where a skeleton with wings was unearthed and the whole town prophesied and speculated, but when the time was at hand for the end of the world, the skeleton lead the town of Springfield to a brand new shopping mall, where they were more than happy to purchase new items.
Hopefully, a more full explanation may be reached, but until then,
1)Hopeful game or demo release
2)Spiders
3)Publicity stunt that is working.
