Queen honeybee

In the Color purple by Alice Walker we have Shug called Queen honeybee. Queen might be refered as the most important, honey represents her sweetness, maybe that she tastes like honey. She is a creature of nature, a pollinator which gives new growth and in this case she gave a new life to Celie, she was the figure that gave a new blossoming to Celie. Bee could be interpreted as someone that can harm, someone that can sting and pobaly she sting Celie towards the end of the novel because Shug left her for someone else.
