I believe that this is called the Bee's Cheese because this is what bees would eat if they could or its a knockoff of the saying Bees Knees, whatever that means. It sure is good on crackers or spread on toast. Make several days before using. Made for a Tag Game. Major difference in flavor from freshly made cheese spread to some allowed to mellow for several days in the refrigerator. This is a cheese spread worthy of being put out on the snack table during Christmas time..
