Just finished watching Tolkien stuff, so i got this:

Bees are kelvar: beings that are "capable of moving and escaping"! Except maybe for the queen bee, which may be an olvar.

Kelvar was a name used by the Valie Yavanna to refer to that part of her natural realm capable of moving or escaping, as opposed to the olvar which were rooted in place.
