Used metaphorically for "busy worker" since 1530s. The sense of "meeting of neighbors to unite their labor for the benefit of one of their number" is by 1769, American English, probably is from comparison to the combined labor and social activity of the insect: Raising-bee (1814) for building construction; quilting bee (1824, see quilt (v.)); logging-bee for a log-rolling; paring-bee for preparing harvested apples; also hanging bee "a lynching"). It was extended to other collective situations (such as spelling bee, "contest between two or more for superiority in spelling," attested by 1809).

l'd politely suggest if you're trying to dispel racist claims that you're an army from a foreign country, maybe *don't* display a foreign country's flag?
