Thanks, rusty. I didn't know that meaning of bee. Always wondered why a spelling bee was called that. (Not sure we have them here in the UK.)

SteveA, my gran was in a knitting bee all through my childhood. She and five or six friends knitted and nattered their way through many happy years!

Spelling bees are indeed held here in the UK, Steve!

Thanks elle. News to me. And now I discover "In 1876 there were newspaper reports of spelling bees in a number of towns in the United Kingdom. Since 2009, The Times newspaper has run a spelling bee for schools ..." Well, I can spell 'bee'!

Glad to help, SteveA !
I had an idea spelling bees were pretty popular in the USA.
