I was just researching about the bee, and I learned the worst predator for a honey bee (the ones on the web site (www.ilovebees.com) is a cousin to the spider (SPDR). They are called “Varroa Mites”. Well since the bees act like the flood, since they travel in well… floods. Bungie must be hinting that there is a master bee, the queen. But also that a new race, one stronger than the flood will come about, and this race can be compared to spiders just as bees to the flood. I just noticed a random connection, what do you all think?

I have also read alot about african bees being the deadliest. Well isant that where halo 2 takes place.

well most people have the idea that the covenant are the bees becuase if you have seen those mites they look just like flood and they too are parasites.

I think the bees are referring to the covenant (if they are referring to anything) because the covenant function with a hive mentality. Different classes that work together for a common goal. The varroa mites (again, if referring to anything) would be the flood, since they are parasitic and attack bees (covenant) Just my thoughts, though, i could be wrong.

Man, even though it makes sense in the story...I really don't want to fight any more flood. They sucked to me, I hated figting against them...they weren't that great. But I guess a Master Chief has to do what a Master Chief has to do...you know what I mean guys? What about this rumor of fighting along side other spartans??? Maybe having a relationship with one or coordinating plans with them?
