Bees can dance, that's for sure..but can they sing too??

Well, no.. bees have not gone crazy yet. But there are interesting news for the world of Taxonomy..

A horse fly with a golden booty has been named after the “Bootylicious” singer herself — pop star and new mom Beyoncé, as the NY Daily news report. The previously unnamed species is now called Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae, in honor of the singer, according to a press release from Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). Researcher Bryan Lessard says the fly’s gold hue makes it the “all-time diva of flies.” “It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly’s abdomen that led me to name this fly in honor of the performer Beyoncé as well as giving me the chance to demonstrate the fun side of taxonomy — the naming of species,” Lessard said. Wikipedia also seems to be updated to this new-named specie... and interestingly enough, it also includes a huge list of organisms named after famous people!! How cool is that?! :)
